This renovated vintage gem delivers five bedrooms and lots of space for the family to come together or retreat to do their own thing. The white simplicity of the interiors are perfectly in-sync with the clean lines and simple mixed brick of the outside. Northern light tumbles into both living spaces and glass sliders open the home to the outside. A brand new kitchen and bathroom deliver modern efficiency alongside gentle notes of sage and the delicate texture of white marble.
This modernist double brick beauty is nestled within a sunny corner block, a few steps from Ainslie playing fields and just moments from the much loved Ainslie shops. The verges are deep and green, and the trees are just now coming into a riot of Spring blossom. Circular garden beds pop against decorative white gravel adding to the satisfying paired back vibe. On one side a driveway ushers to a generous off-street parking bay and high Colorbond fencing privatises the back yard. The home seeded within the charm of old Ainslie and oh so close to the happenings of the Braddon hub and the CBD.
Light timber-like floors coalesce with the white-on-white palette, creating a soothing sequence of spaces and a gallery like backdrop for chosen pieces, pops of art. The ceilings are high and raked creating an airy feel, further dramatised by walls of glass that forge a constant connection to nature. The large living and dining space merges to a stunning brand new kitchen – stone worktops, quality appliances, intricately veined splashback and sage cabinetry with integrated steel handles. Elegance and space combine to engender a hub for easy family meals, effortless entertaining with a Butler’s pantry combined laundry to hide all the mess.
A slender hallway ushers to a peaceful wing that delivers five bedrooms, all with built-in-robes and a second living area or rumpus that also opens onto the garden. This is a sun-splashed space, ideal for play and homework or just relaxing in the blessing of light. The elegant design scheme is continued within the family bathroom…think fluted timber vanity, tiled walls that evoke natural stone, touches of brushed copper.
Family perfection springs to mind…the flat stretch of rear garden space conjuring a dream of indoor-outdoor living. One imagines a broad patio, sheltering pergola, natives of your choice, perhaps well-tended lawn for the kids to tumble and play. All the hard work of clearing has been done, gifting a blank canvas so you can enjoy curating the perfect garden oasis.
Ainslie is a historic, leafy enclave, centrally located within the sought-after inner north. Resting at the foothills of Mt Ainslie, surrounded by green spaces, it has a relaxed village vibe combined with the buzz of the city. The home is a few steps from Ainslie Oval and Majura Sports Field, Ainslie Football club and Angus Street Playground. It is not far to the much loved Ainslie shops for a relaxed pub meal and selection of great cheeses at the IGA. The famous Dickson precinct is close by, and it is not far to Braddon’s vibrant scene, extending an array of independent eateries and shops. Close to transport including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD and the ANU.
