This charming character-filled, 3-bedroom ensuite duplex has been thoughtfully extended and updated creating a spacious home that still retains its traditional details such as high ceilings, hardwood timber floors, and sash windows harking back to another era.
Set back privately on a leafy Ainslie street, a red brick path leads you to the arched porchway entrance. Entering into the original section of the home, a cozy lounge greets you with an enclosed corner fireplace framed by glazed red tiles for extra cozy winter gatherings. The original hardwood floors with a wonderful rich patina flow through to the kitchen, with duck egg blue bench top echoing the original Metters Canberra stove, a nod to the home's past. The kitchen has the modern conveniences of a dishwasher, induction cooktop, and a new electric oven. Bedrooms 2 & 3 are located in the front section of the home, both have free-standing timber robes and lovely garden outlooks framed by sash windows. The home's original bathroom has been updated whilst keeping its period look.
The modern extension at the rear of the home opens into a lovely spacious sunlit L-shaped family room with timber parquetry floors, and timber framed sash windows keeping with the heritage character. Timber framed double doors take you outside to the sunny timber deck, a perfect spot for an outdoor setting & to enjoy the leafy private rear yard. The main bedroom offers a private setting at the rear of the extension, with deep navy walls complimented by the warm tones of timber-framed windows and the lovely parquetry floors that extend into the space. A generous walk-in robe and a heritage-inspired ensuite with the luxury of a separate bath & shower complete the main bedroom. Reverse cycle air conditioning to the family room and main bedroom provides year-round comfort, with the addition of wall-fixed radiators providing a cozy element in the homes original rooms. The home has been fully insulated & the addition of 8.3kWp solar panels makes the most of Canberras sunshine.
A curved red brick driveway takes you to the double garage at the side of the home, with internal access to the family room. The homes mature rear garden has been updated with stepping stones to the lawn area, raised veggie garden beds to inspire the home gardener, and a raised timber platform providing another sunny spot to enjoy the peace and privacy.
Ainslie's covetable location means you are close to public transport, the City, Ainslie, and Dickson Shopping Centres where you will find an abundance of trendy cafes, restaurants, and many amenities for your convenience.
