The deck has a nice elevation and makes the most of the northern sunshine. One imagines whole summers spent outside, easy celebrations with family and friends or perhaps spending the day with a great book. The garden has a rambling country feel despite its easy care proportions. One could get busy here, growing a rainbow for that health giving, garden to plate lifestyle. There's also room for chickens and scope to further shape the backyard into a productive oasis. There is also a private driveway that ushers to a generous double garage that sits deep within the block, with scope to re-work as a studio space given its size.
This sweet two-bedder delivers on inner city living with a dose of old fashioned flair. A story book form conspires with old growth gardens and plenty of period features to create a home of charm and nuance. There is a wonderful inside/out vibe and the grace of a well-considered renovation that easily combines the old with the new.
The form is classic Ainslie – dreamy cottage, peaked terracotta roof, timber sash windows. Mature hedging encloses the lovely frontage, where beautifully planted gardens teem with life and colour. Clipped standards stand sentinel beside the small front porch which shelters the entryway.
Beautifully preserved baton ceilings, timber joinery and picture rails, inform the home with warmth and soul. Soft neutral walls allow the recently refreshed hardwood floors and detailing to shine, and there is a warming influx of natural light via a banks of large timber windows. The living space has timber shelving and a clever study nook right beside the warming fireplace. This lovely room flows directly to a generous dining area. Here bankable doors open the whole space to the deck and garden, forging a seamless connection to outside.
The generous kitchen sits adjacent and delivers banks of storage in golden timber. There are glass cabinets for chosen display, a central island and electric cooking set within the original broad hearth and adjacent laundry with lots of additional storage.
The master bedroom delivers a large walk-through-robe and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. Big windows frame the picturesque frontage and the bathroom glows with light, via a wall of glass bricks. Here double basins, stone countertops, frameless glass shower and lots of vanity storage deliver a sympathetic and classy modern amenity.
The second bedroom is oh so generous, has a built-in-robe and sits adjacent to a family bathroom with a bathtub. This delightful room has signature timber windows that welcome light and aspect and a door that allows you to step straight onto the rear deck and leafy garden.
Life in Ainslie is a peaceful cocoon, full of vintage parklands, meandering bush trails, and the easy communal atmosphere of the local shops. From here you can easily walk or ride into the city and ANU, making daily life and work commutes wonderfully simple. But you can also throw yourself into the bustle of the nearby city, the vibing Braddon precinct, all the colourful happenings, the myriad of shopping, eating and drinking experiences. Ebden is a wide street lined with age-old oak trees. The much loved Ainslie shops house local favourites – Edgar's gastropub, Breizh Café, Pilot Restaurant and Ainslie Cellars. The home is also close to parks, a variety of schools, the ANU, shared bike and walking paths and public transport. It is only 2.2kms to the CBD.
