Sunlit rooms, rich in timber detailing and joinery, high ceilings, ornate cornices, coalesce within this inner-north sanctuary, awash with hip 60s vintage vibes, lovingly preserved.
This effortlessly cool three-bedroom home with fully self-contained two bedroom flat, occupies a prime position across from North Ainslie Primary school and opposing Dutton Street Playground and Dickson Wetlands. With no neighbours on two fronts, the home in enveloped in established gardens, and takes in gorgeous views from elevated veranda to open playing fields.
We adore the iron Kangaroo decals within the veranda railings, the stone crazy paving and iconic Aussie suburban mixed blonde brick, the original carved timber front door.
Recently painted throughout, a large foyer gifts plenty of space for hanging coats and bags. There is a welcoming drift to bright living area where corner picture windows draw in western and northern light. Rich timber panelling is offset by the soft stone hearth of the original gas fireplace. This is a generous space, an idyllic place to gather, steeped in the grace and quietude of the past. In one corner, unique built- in-joinery is ideal for home bar, display of loved bibs and bobs, colourful glassware.
Flowing to open meals and kitchen with timber joinery mirrored to make a matching pair…the space calls out for chic retro stylings. The bright white kitchen overlooks the secure rear gardens and has a lovely sociability with the meals area, elevating family time, communion with friends.
A hallway leads to the sequestered sleeping zones where three charming bedrooms centre around the original family bathroom and separate toilet, both themed in sweet baby blues with mosaic floor tiling.
Large windows frame pink flowering camellias…the room dappled in soft filtered light…the master bedroom feeling a whole world away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding city. A wall of timber cabinetry with classic mirrored dresser, gifts an effortless nostalgic vibe, while neatly taking care of storage.
Two other bedrooms with timber built-in-robes take in leafy views. Both feature the classic panelling that lends such tactile richness throughout the entire home.
Recently painted with new soft carpeting and new blinds, the independent flat has a wonderful spatial arrangement that includes living area with kitchenette, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The master flows to private oasis, with soft lawn edged by garden beds.
Hawdon is a quiet, tree lined street close to Mt Ainslie Reserve. The home is metres from North Ainslie Primary School, Dutton Street Playground and Dickson Wetlands. It is an easy walk to the bustling Ainslie shops, home to Edgar's gastro pub and the award-winning IGA. Moments from the independent restaurants and bars of the Dickson and Braddon precincts, a stone's throw from the city, the location is highly coveted. Many of Canberra's best schools are at your doorstop and the ANU is not far. The home is close to transport, including the light rail which whisks you straight to the CBD.
