#soldbyholly $1,450,000The sheltered rear deck steps down to a garden, wild with roses, heady with colour and fragrance. A rainbow of pink hues cascade from various archways and old growth bushes blush and bow, heavy with flowers. There is a nice shade dappled alfresco spot beneath the trees, as more roses climb the walls and tumble from the fence line.This charming three-bedder rests on a quiet street at the foot of Mt Ainslie and just moments from Ainslie Village Shops. You can see the city in the distance, the street whisper close, yet a world away from the hustle and bustle. The classic brick form is painted crisp white and sits behind flat lawns with a long driveway ushering to a generous single garage. Mature plants spill from rock edged garden beds, roses climb the arbour that shelters the entryway and there is a small front porch, overlooking sweet smelling Daphne.We love the welcoming foyer with its coat cupboard and wall of frosted glass, all aglow in the sunlight. Walls have been freshly painted crisp white and carpets are cosy underfoot. There is a big kitchen combined meals on the left, that drifts openly to a sunny living area, set beneath big windows. Here a glass pendant introduces a retro pop of bright green and there is a large gas heater to gather around on cooler nights. The kitchen delivers banks of cabinetry with lovely, curved timber handles and there is a big adjacent laundry that opens directly onto the garden. The second living area is palatial and captures sweet views across the rose garden. There are twin glass pedants in warm orange and a gas heater set within the original brick hearth. Glass sliders spill to a large, sheltered deck, perfect for entertaining. All three bedrooms feature large windows, framing leafy views and deliver excellent storage. There is a renovated family bathroom finished in warm neutrals and the convenience of a separate toilet. Peaceful and neighbourly and yet just seconds from the independent restaurants and bars of Lonsdale St and Civic, the home is well situated. Many of Canberra's best schools are at your doorstep and the ANU is not far. The famous Ainslie shops are nearby, with local favs including - Edgar's gastropub, Breizh Caf, and the hatted Pilot Restaurant. Add ample green spaces, shared walking and cycling paths, and easy access to Mt Ainslie reserve, and you have the ideal mix of urban and country lifestyles.features..charming three bedroom home set within magnificent rose gardens.ideally placed on a quiet street at the city end of old Ainslie.large front lawn and rose twined arbour upon entry.long driveway ushering to a generous single garage.welcoming foyer with coat cupboard.wall of timber framed frosted glass.kitchen combined meals flowing to a sunny living area.gas heater.kitchen with banks of cabinetry and freestanding Westinghouse oven.adjacent laundry opening onto the garden.large second living area overlooking the rose garden.gas heater set on brick hearth.glass sliders opening onto a large, sheltered deck.three bedrooms, all with wardrobes.renovated bathroom with separate toilet.expansive north facing rear yard with shade dappled lawns and a cornucopia of flowering roses, creating a dreamy, scented garden.moments from Ainslie shops and Mt Ainslie reserve.a stone's throw from the independent eateries, shops and bars of the dynamic Dickson and Braddon precincts.close to transport including light rail, providing fast links to all of Canberra convenient to great schools including the ANU.2.5 kms to the Canberra Centre FINE DETAILS (all approximate): Land size: 750 m2Living size: 150 m2 (approx.)EER: 1.0 Build year: 1961 Rates: $6651.07 paLand tax: $14,308.00 pa (investors only)UV: $1,140,000 (2025)Rental Opinion: $760 - $820 p/wThe information contained in this advertisement is derived from sources we deem reliable.
