Oozing that 1960's flat roofed contemporary feel that makes this section of Ainslie feel more like an extension of Campbell, stands 1 Canning Street. Minutes to both city and bush, this home is quintessential Ainslie, circa 1962, and like your favourite pair of jeans - it just feels good!
Pulling up the driveway feels like a homecoming of sorts. This mostly original home has that mid-century modern vibe so much of Ainslie is known for. The trademark crazy-paving and handrail on the front porch sets the tone before walking into the beautiful sunny lounge with corner windows that let in light and leafy views. There's a formal dining room, a must-have for the era, and a more modern open-plan kitchen/family room that opens into the backyard. It's easy to imagine living here.
Moments away is everything you need. You'll love being within walking distance to the Canberra Centre, War Memorial, Braddon and the renowned Ainslie Shops. Mt Ainslie is practically at your back door with bush trails for hiking or biking, and the area has many highly regarded public and private schools. This home is positioned for tremendous growth potential and a full lifestyle.
The position is elevated and the 781m2 corner block oozes potential. This precinct is one of Ainslie's best kept secrets and a second storey on the home would certainly yield City and mountain views. The owners have already moved to Brisbane and are keen to sell!
