This beautifully built double-brick, 60s home has been lovingly preserved and extended to favour family life and easy entertaining. The home feels distinctive and joyful with its nostalgic vibe and lovely open-armed grace. Think immaculate formal gardens, classic blonde brick, crisp white wrought iron to match the rows of big windows. Generous proportions deliver social spaces that spill each to each, opening to sunny terraces, expanse of lawn, all wrapped in a green-walled privacy.
Doors can be left open in summer to birdsong and a cacophony of beautiful plantings, shady trees, creating a blissful tranquility. The bushland peace of this idyllic suburb, belying the dynamic urban nature of its central locale - a stone's throw from all the cultural offerings of Anzac Parade, the Braddon precinct and the CBD.
The front living area morphs from light-filled summer abode to cosy winter haven… the big slow combustion fireplace aglow in one corner. Plantation shutters filter garden light and polished timber floors stretch golden underfoot. The central hub accommodates cooking, dining and working from home with its clever study nook and generosity of white-washed space. And there is a lovely open flow into a warming sunroom that makes the most of the north-easterly orientation, opening to embrace the curated stages of the garden.
Beautiful old world details such as high ceilings, decorative cornices, sit comfortably alongside luxurious contemporary updates. Think stone worktops, quality appliances including a dishwasher and endless storage. Imagine a family bathroom with a relaxing curvaceous tub and striking feature honeycomb tiling, in a sea of patterned greys.
The three original bedrooms are spacious and have excellent storage, and the new master suite delivers a wall of robes, walk-in-storage and an ensuite bathroom. Here glass doors open onto a secluded courtyard edged with flowering hydrangeas. The whole garden an invitational mix of low garden walls, fixed timber seating, breeze blocks, barbecue area and sunny alfresco patio.
Resting at the foot of Mount Ainslie and bordered to the south-east by Mt Pleasant nature reserve, a stone's throw from Braddon and the CBD-Campbell offers the best of city living and rural retreat. Shouldering Anzac Parade, War Memorial, Defence Academies, Lake Burley Griffin, the home opens to the peaceful walking trails of the reserve. It is a nice stroll to the local Campbell shops, offering a great bakery and café, and the nearby independent businesses of Campbell 5 serve up a plethora of eating, dining, shopping experiences. The home is also close to transport, a variety of public schools, and the ANU.
