As soon as you enter the front door, there is the hush and welcome of a perfectly curated world.. We love the recessed wall niches for display of loved objects, the attention to storage, and the cohesive and organic scheme. Think light timber floors, whitewashed walls, pops of warm earthy notes, soft eucalypt green.
This elegant family home blends the charming form of a vintage Tocumwal with immaculate contemporary interiors. There is the classic Ainslie appeal - neat green hedges, an arbour-sheltered entryway, meandering front garden, shady front porch. Step inside to find a soothing materiality illuminated by garden light, and there is wonderful balance and spaciousness to the extended plan. Think four peaceful bedrooms and a choice of social spaces that includes a sprawling family hub that spills to alfresco life within the easy-care gardens. Think lots of sustainable upgrades that deliver efficient temperate living all year round and a whopping EER of 7.6.
The home wears a silvery grace and rises from landscaped gardens with meandering pathways and delicate native grasses. Sweet-smelling roses and jonquils edge the front veranda where you can sit and enjoy the comings and goings of the street. There is also a long driveway that travels down one side, ushering in a two-car tandem carport. Here, side entry provides access to the laundry/mudroom/pantry that opens into the kitchen and the living and dining space beyond.
The heart of the home combines cooking, eating, and lounging and opens to embrace the north-easterly gardens. Life easily morphs from inside to out, perfect for both daily life and easy entertaining. There is a sunny alfresco stage - paved terrace, raked shelter, ceiling fan, and lovely views across the garden. Here, mature plantings create a green enclosure, and there are productive raised vegetable beds alongside a greenhouse and a myriad of fruiting trees.
The kitchen is big and welcoming, with a floating central island and banks of endless storage. Delicate timber handles match the duo of timber pendants that illuminate the stone worktops. The adjacent pantry/laundry/mudroom is finished concordantly - striking green splash back set against moody dark stone.
The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and is privileged by glass sliders that open to the north, where a private deck invites you to enjoy healing garden moments. All four bedrooms have built-in robes, ceiling fans and ducted A/C to keep things breezy on warm summer nights. The family bathroom is a gorgeous affair with its earthy tiled floors, textural mosaic walls, and roomy walk-in shower room.
The home is within walking distance of the bustling Ainslie shops, home to Edgar's gastro pub, the award-winning IGA and hatted Pilot Restaurant. Schools including Ainslie School, North Ainslie Primary School, Merici College and Lyneham High School and transport are close to hand, including the light rail. It is just moments to the independent restaurants and bars of the Dickson and Braddon precincts. There is the peace of the nearby reserve and local parklands and the Mt Ainslie nature walks and bike track along Sullivan's Creek to ANU are also close by, and it is a mere 3.6 kms to the CBD
