This charming three-bedroom home presents a rare opportunity to secure a genuine slice of Ainslie's heritage on a private, hedge-lined 1,000sqm block just moments from the Ainslie shops in the Wakefield Gardens Garden City Heritage Precinct.
Behind its character-filled façade lies a warm and welcoming 1939 double-brick cottage, rich with timeless features including high ceilings, beautiful natural light, a sense of space and calm that immediately sets it apart. Established gardens surround the home, creating a peaceful sanctuary that changes with the seasons and attracts abundant bird life.
Inside, light filters softly through the bedrooms on quiet mornings, while the north facing kitchen is bathed in a warm glow throughout the day. The living areas invite you to follow the light as it moves through the home, offering both comfort and connection to the outdoors. Ducted gas heating enhances winter living, while the home remains wonderfully private and tranquil year-round.
The garden is a standout - generous, mature and full of hidden corners to explore, play or relax. There is ample space for outdoor entertaining, vegetable gardens or simply enjoying the luxury of land rarely found this close to the city.
Tucked away yet exceptionally well connected, the home is an easy stroll to the Ainslie shops with Edgars and an IGA supermarket, cafes, bakery, pharmacy, medical services and transport at your door.
