Last Listing description (March 2026)

*WILL NOT BE SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION*

Offered for sale for the very first time, this authentic late-1930s double-brick cottage presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial landholding in one of Ainslie's most tightly held heritage precincts.

Set on an expansive 1,114m block in historic Bonney Street, the cottage is among some of the earliest Ainslie homes, retaining genuine period character, including its original milk delivery door. A charming reminder of early Canberra living with a solid construction that has stood the test of time.

The home offers 72m of internal living, comprising:
- Two bedrooms
- Previously updated bathroom
- Separate living room with reverse cycle air-conditioning
- Eat in kitchen with upright electric oven and cooktop
- Separate internal laundry

The cottage is comfortably habitable and ready for restoration, allowing you to live in or lease while planning future improvements. A single garage, believed to be original to the home, remains in place, along with a later-added single carport (not formally approved).

Importantly, the property is protected by a heritage overlay, preserving the historic streetscape and architectural character that makes Ainslie so desirable. Extensions and improvements are possible with the appropriate approvals, and many surrounding homes have been successfully extended at the rear in a sympathetic manner, maintaining the original frontage while creating contemporary living spaces.

Surrounded by mature trees and established gardens, this is a property for buyers who understand the long-term value of heritage, land size, and irreplaceable location - just minutes from the Canberra CBD, Dickson precinct, Corroboree Park and Mount Ainslie Reserve.

Key features:
- Late-1930s double-brick heritage cottage
- Enormous 1,115m block in Central Canberra
- Original period features including milk delivery door
- Heritage overlay with scope for sympathetic extension
- Original garage plus additional carport
- Exceptional land value and long-term upside
- UCV $1,200,000 (2025)

A rare offering for renovators, heritage enthusiasts, or visionaries seeking to restore and enhance a classic Ainslie home for the next generation.
