If you love the character of the Ainslie weatherboard cottages but thought that you could never afford one, then this could be your opportunity!

Hidden behind a high and private hedge, you’ll find this ‘Riley Newsome’ home full of charm and character. A hardwood timber deck at the front is a great place to entertain or enjoy your morning coffee, and provides easy access to the home through lovely Cedar French doors. Once inside you’ll be delighted to find polished Baltic Pine floors, timber sash windows and other hallmarks of character.

The kitchen has been updated but there’s plenty of scope for your personal touch and the renovated bathroom features a claw foot bath. There’s ducted gas heating and ducted evaporative cooling to keep you comfortable year-round. 2 of the bedrooms open onto the front deck, whilst the third opens to the covered and secure back verandah. There’s loft storage in the ceiling and a dedicated carport.

The home forms the front of a dual occupancy development with a body corporate of two – this is self-managed and there are no fees.

The home is located towards the top of Hawdon Street which means there’s easy access to the Mt Ainslie walking trails as well as being a short walk to parkland and not far from the famous Ainslie shops.
