First time to market, a late 1950s charming period classic of spacious proportions. This is a substantial and well built brick, stone and tile residence in a superb elevated location at the foot of Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve offering distant hillside views.

Beaming with character and light through large picture windows to the park opposite, the master cabinetmaker finished his home with timber flooring, preserved under existing carpet. The fine timberwork and period details continue to the dining room, the architraves and matching doors, ornamental cornices and 2.7m high ceilings, all complemented by recently renovated kitchen and bathroom.

As was the custom, the owner-builders temporary accommodation was in the bungalow at the rear of the block, now a useful workshop or garden studio. Inviting and ready to accommodate a growing family, the home offers scope to further extend living and entertainment areas along a North/South axis into the private back garden.

With its delightful outlook onto parkland only 500m to the dynamic Ainslie neighbourhood centre, an easy walk to Braddon and the City Centre, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of the few remaining well maintained original vintage homes in Ainslies premier street. Your inspection will not disappoint.
