mid-century delight in lovely Ainslie!
FORTHCOMING AUCTION IN 2026 IF NOT SOLD PRIOR
You can gaze out to the mountains from the front veranda, the home enticingly close to Braddon and the city. Yet a combo of old-world charm, lots of space and wrap-around gardens create an immediate sense of calm. This mid-century three-bedroom home brims with soulful touches and serves up three generous living areas. Glass sliders open to the back garden where a garage feels perfectly poised to become a flexible studio, or a place that is ideal for the buddy artist or handyman.
The home sits high on the corner block and enjoys an elevated outlook toward Black Mountain with Mount Ainslie to the back. Despite being close to the bustling hubs of the inner north the location remains peaceful, offering residents a vibrant and well-connected urban lifestyle with dollops of leafy tranquillity.
We love the form – flat roofline, two-tone brick, painted panelling, big casement windows and a front veranda with decorative wrought iron balustrade. The front door is set with patterned glass and gives way to a nicely proportioned home with decorative cornices. Walls are freshly painted Dulux Antique White and the carpeting is brand new. The central hallway is broad, set with ample storage cupboards and provides a lovely flow-through, straight to kitchen/combined meals and the back garden.
Lots of northern light and a generosity of spirit lends a family-friendly vibe. The three flexible living areas provide you with options to set up the home to suit, there really is so much space to enjoy. The kitchen is functional with plenty of storage and bench space.
Two of the three bedrooms are large, both featuring built-in-robes with all three being handy to a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate toilet. The third bedroom looks onto flowering camellias and perfectly frames the magisterial form of Mt Ainslie.
The brick garage with auto door and large storage/laundry area has the benefit of a second toilet, making it convenient when working outside. There is access from the street via the side driveway and lots of garden privacy, gifting the perfect ingredients for a versatile outside studio that expands the footprint of the home.
Canning is a quiet street that culminates at Mount Ainslie Reserve. This special pocket places you handy to Campbell High, the War Memorial and the boutique foodie and fitness offerings of Campbell 5. You can stroll to the CBD from here or wander to the Braddon hub for an endless choice of café's, street food and fancy restaurants. Of course, there is the fabulous local Ainslie shops and the nearby Dickson Precinct and it is an easy trip to the airport and the Majura Park hub. Walking and biking is easy with access to shared pathways and trails, including Mt Ainslie Reserve and Lake Burley Griffin.
