This lovely 60s home has all the hallmarks of the modernist era with its white-painted brick exterior, big timber windows, and wonderful transitions from inside to out. There is the mid-century glory of exposed timber beams and raked ceilings lined with golden timber. A thoughtful renovation and extension have created a soothing and elegant haven for family life, with three private bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a flowing social hub that spills to layered decking for communing in the sunshine.
The house speaks to and celebrates its special locale - directly across from green commons, quiet street, moments from the reserve, parks, War Memorial, Lake, and CBD. Big corner windows welcome light and aspect, and dual entryways take care of coming and going. Social spaces spill each to each - large front living area, formal dining, sunroom/office - opening to embrace a curated alfresco life.
The materiality is paired back - freshly painted gallery white walls, newly polished Tassie Oak floors, gorgeous timber joinery. It's the perfect canvas, allowing you to craft enigmatic spaces, brimming with colourful art, textiles, and collectable mid-century pieces. There is a vibe - bespoke windows, high ceilings, spaciousness and lots of soulful warmth.
The kitchen is sunken and there is a lovely play of architectural lines. A glass door can be opened wide, welcoming the presence of the garden within. There are banks of cabinetry, a 90cm freestanding Ilve cooker for robust family meals, and a dishwasher to keep life easy.
The master bedroom has a few tricks up its sleeve - an elongated walk-in-robe with a ribbon window that glows in the northern light, a big window to capture morning sunshine, and a fabulous contemporary, open ensuite complete with rain shower.
Both additional bedrooms are distinguished by timber framed windows and doors, that welcome a grace of northern light. Just across the way, the redesigned family bathroom feels generous and inviting, packed with storage and the decadence of a deep freestanding tub.
This special home feels both removed from the hustle and bustle while still being effortlessly connected to all the enticements of the inner north. Shouldering Anzac Parade, War Memorial, Defence Academies, Lake Burley Griffin, the home is also moments to the peaceful walking trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve. It is not far to the local Campbell shops, offering a great bakery and café, and the nearby Campbell 5, serving up a plethora of eating, dining, and shopping experiences. The home is also close to transport, a variety of public schools, and the ANU. The vibrant Braddon scene is at hand, and it is just moments to the CBD.
