Concealed by beautifully established gardens, this charming 3 bedroom Canberra doublebrick Cottage offers the discerning buyer a piece of Canberra architectural history. This home was originally built in the 1940s and contains beautifully retained original features including exposed timber hardwood flooring, picture rails and even a Metters wood-fired stove. This classic red brick home is a great example of quality construction giving its occupants a sense of permanence and longevity.

Wonderfully located opposite parkland and just a short walk from Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve and the famous Ainslie shops on a quiet street, this is an opportunity not to be missed. The well oriented floorplan provides north westerly aspects for the living and dining rooms, optimising gorgeous daytime sunlight streaming through the timber sash windows. In winter there is the added bonus of being able to enjoy sitting around the cosy slow combustion fireplace. Three generously sized bedrooms, all with built in robes, are sensibly located on the north eastern side of the house allowing the entry of early morning sun.

The kitchen is unique with original features such as the Metters stove and inbuilt pantry and more recent additions of an electric oven/stovetop. The bathroom is located to the rear of the home and has been made over whilst the laundry is in well maintained, near original condition.

The enormous block and practical design of this home lends itself to future renovations should the new owners decide on an extension.

Stepping outside, the opportunity for a retreat, home office or even a small commercial enterprise is available in the form of a separate studio attached to the end of the garage – youll be amazed upon seeing what the edible garden has to offer too! Well-established with an abundance of fruiting species including various berries, grapes, kiwi fruit, apples and pomegranate to name just a few. An enclosed vegetable garden ensures your vegetable production is not compromised by native wildlife.

You also have to option of walking or cycling other nearby such as Dickson shops, Canberra Centre or ANU as the current owner has. There really is no reason why you wouldnt want this to be your new home!
