The sparkling kitchen overlooks a sunken living area where concrete floors flow smooth underfoot and glass sliders open to emerald lawns. A thoughtful renovation has created a serene family retreat in the heart of Ainslie, unified by soothing natural textures and tones.

This airy four-bedroom home has been extended and reimagined to create generous spaces for both connection and retreat, including a private wing culminating in the master suite. Tassie oak floors glow underfoot while social spaces open easily to the garden, creating a rich sense of place and effortless barefoot luxury.

Set on a quiet leafy street, the home sits perfectly between the charm of Ainslie village and the energy of Dickson. Braddon’s cafés, restaurants and the CBD are moments away, yet the setting feels wonderfully peaceful, surrounded by parklands and bush reserves.

Canberra reds meander through the deep front garden, alive with crepe myrtles, Manchurian pear and a sheltering oak. A driveway leads through a white picket fence to the garage and studio, while a new portico frames the front door, its brickwork seamlessly matching the original red brick.

Inside, engineered oak floors carry a warm blush tone through the large front living room where pink oleanders are framed by windows and an elevated deck beyond. Pocket sliders allow the room to be closed off, while the home unfolds into two wings, an airy family hub and private sleeping quarters.

Large glazing draws the garden inside, creating leafy outlooks throughout. The sunken lounge feels relaxed and generous, with cloth lanterns, bespoke timber sconces and pendant lighting softly defining living and dining zones.

The kitchen shines on the upper level with soft-close white cabinetry and new Bosch appliances, including a 90cm oven and induction cooktop. A long peninsula overlooks the family room and garden, while an opaque glass splashback reflects shifting light. Stone worktops meet Tassie oak accents and a generous walk-in pantry keeps everything beautifully organised.

A broad hallway lined with seamless cabinetry leads to four bedrooms, each with built-in storage. The office features double doors and a skylight, while the master suite captures views of mature trees. Both bathrooms are finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling, slate-grey floors and timber vanities.

The home is an easy walk to Ainslie shops, home to Edgar’s pub and the award-winning IGA. Dickson, Braddon and the city are close by, along with excellent schools and the ANU. Transport is nearby, including the light rail connecting directly to the CBD.
