10A Ebden Street

Ainslie ACT 2602

#soldbyholly This inviting four-bedder is filled with light, warm wood and large windows that look out to newly landscaped gardens. It is a classic old Ainslie home red-brick, high ceilings, timber sash windows. There is a certain "je ne sais quoi" - the home poised above Ebden, whisper quiet, infused with the ineffable feel of history and story. A wonderful extension provides plenty of space for family relaxation, think walls of glass and living arranged in an open plan alongside the large kitchen. From here French doors open onto a broad patio, terraced flat lawn, handsome red brick garden beds ripe for a myriad of gorgeous plantings. A deep garden softens the frontage with mature trees and shrubs including a stunning old man banksia and eucalypt. This end of Ebden Street places you close to both Mt Ainslie Reserve, Ainslie shops, Corrobboree and Haig Park, and all the happenings of Braddon and the CBD. No 10a ideally positioned on the high side, gifting elevated views across the rooftops of Ainslie and out to the mountains. A driveway runs along one side, all neatly paved in Canberra reds and ushering to a double garage. There is a generous additional parking bay, broad entry steps, and a welcoming front porch, edged by flowing hardenbergia. The original timber floors are golden underfoot and harmonise with freshly painted walls that have a soft undertone of grey. A small foyer invites you home, giving way to the expansive warmth of the front living area, with its original fireplace, now set with a slow combustion stove. Plantation shutters filter the light, while still allowing you to take in the treetops, the distant soft blue presence of the mountainous horizon.The harmonious, tranquil feel extends to all four bedroomsthe master bedroom with a wall of built-in-robes and a ceiling fan for warmer nights. There is a large laundry/mudroom that serves as an alternative side entry into the home. And an opulent, three-way bathroom, featuring floor-to-ceiling marbled tiling, corner spa bath and shower space, enclosed in frameless glass. North-eastern light tumbles across the floorthe glorious extension graced by walls of timber framed glass, echoing the original windows. A large kitchen occupies one corner with lots of cabinetry for storage and a return for gathering and collaboration. We love the softness - creamy cabinetry, palest of blue-green worktops creating a classic, modern country feel. Most of all we love the joyousness of this whole space, with its warm terracotta floor tiles, delightful transparency, easy spill to immaculately curated landscaping.
