This classic red brick Ainslie cottage has been thoughtfully updated and extended to create a spacious home graced by light and nature. Double glazing, boosted insulation, and all-electric appliances take care of sustainability. Clever and abundant storage add to the ease of living. The home is a finely crafted, three-bedroom haven - a harmony of old and new with a wonderful connection to the established and leafy gardens.
This is the blue ribbon Ainslie locale - dress circle, central parkland, with close proximity to the famed local shops. Ainslie Village is such a sought-after hamlet, informed by great community, heritage homes, parklands, and reserves. It is just moments to all the inviting centres of the inner north, including the artful Braddon hub and the CBD.
The home sits elegantly behind deep gardens that teem with colour and life. A long driveway ushers to a double carport that mimics the terracotta tiled rooftop of the original garage that sits beyond. There is sheltered entry from the carport into the social hub complete with a handy coat cupboard. While the original front entryway is accessed via a garden path edged by an avenue of mature trees.
There is the spacious and light-filled, open-plan kitchen, living, and dining, spilling deck side to northern sunshine, bountiful gardens. The original living room offers a more muted and intimate retreat - whispering of history, with a long gaze across the garden to the parkland beyond.
Soft organic hues-sage, green, eggshell blue, ochre- coalesce with the original hardwood floors. The modern kitchen overlooks the front garden and openly communes with the north-facing living areas, perfect for entertaining and family rituals. Oak-hued cabinetry meets stone worktops while a big central island is perfect for gathering. There is plenty of clever storage, including a well-designed deep pantry and a second, walk-through pantry that connects to the adjacent laundry.
The master bedroom is nicely sequestered to the north and delivers two built-in robes and a generous ensuite bathroom that features mosaic tiling that glows pearlescent beneath a skylight. A central study serves up excellent storage and acts as a transitional space into the original cottage where a duo of original bedrooms branch off the living room. One feels the presence of history- high ceilings, timber doors set with patterned glass, vintage pendant lights. While nearby, the edition of a modern bathroom benefits from sensitive guidance - floor-to-ceiling tiling that mimics the Victorian style and a roomy rain shower standing in place of the original porch.
