This vintage red brick beauty sings with potential and places you front and centre to all the enticements of the vibrant inner north. Perfectly placed within the quaint village of Ainslie and moments from the bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts, the home extends a tantalising invitation. Arrayed across two levels, with elevated views and an enormous back yard, the home is calling out for a creative touch. Think transformation, creation, opportunity; imagine a haven that is uniquely yours, steeped in the history of old Ainslie.
This charming, semi-detached terrace house, is an important part of Canberra's architectural history. Now celebrated, these old beauties are having quiet the moment. Creative teams are setting about to transform them with colour and flair, opening them to light and garden. Whatever your aesthetic; elegant and timeless, vibrant and arty, serene and minimal – these old bones are the ideal and oh so cool canvas. Oozing character and with a lovely balanced floorplan combined with a solid double brick build, No.52 awaits your vision.
The traditional layout houses the living area, with fireplace in the front, with big windows welcoming north-westerly light. There is a formal dining room and an adjacent kitchen, all bright lime green with a pop of red. There is also a big laundry opening to the rear garden and the convenience of a downstairs toilet. Golden timber stairs usher past a wall of matching panelling, delivering you three bedrooms with elevated views. The master has a wall of robes and there is also a family bathroom. A private driveway ushers to a double metal garage with storage space and the grounds are a blank canvas apart from a row of age-old pencil pines that usher you to the sweet front porch.
And the location is enviable…an easy stroll to the bustling Dickson Precinct, Ainslie shops, Ainslie Football Club, light rail stop and parklands. It is a lovely country meets city lifestyle - open green spaces, wetlands, bushland trails and all the enticements of the vibrant inner north. Enjoy the cafés, eateries and shops of Dickson, Ainslie, Watson and Downer, as well as the walking trails of Mt Ainslie. It is not far to Braddon's vibrant scene, serving up a cornucopia of independent eateries, bars and shops. It is and easy stroll to several schools, including Dickson and Daramalan College. The home is also close to transport including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD and the ANU.
