Ainslie ACT 2602

To the left of the entry, a huge master bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, opening onto its own private, north facing timber deck. It is equipped with a built-in robe and electric security shutters to the sliding door. The adjacent second bedroom also has a built-in robe and high ceiling. The bright main bathroom has a large new vanity and mirror, shower, deep bath and a separate w/c.
At the opposite end of the home, there is another very large bedroom. It provides access to the last bedroom or study, which in turn leads to the second bathroom, laundry and also to the rear garden.
A high Colorbond fence safely encloses the private rear garden. Established by a horticulturalist, it features garden beds retained with original stonework, pathways which link all the decks, Japanese maples, red and white camellias, rhododendron and a wonderful selection of plum trees, which all promise a spectacular display in the spring.
A charming studio is situated in the rear garden and pre-dates the home. Today the studio is clad in contemporary, corrugated Colorbond and has an inviting north facing timber deck, sheltered by two mature cherry trees.
Car accommodation is provided in a garage and carport, while ample off-street parking is available on gravelled areas.
This wonderful, central inner north location is only a short distance into the Central Business District and the ANU. It is a short walk to the local shops and neighbourhood ovals, while many schools are within easy reach.
Homes of the era rarely offer the generous proportions found here, so be sure to take the opportunity to inspect this well presented , mid-century home, owned by the one family and consider making it your own!
