Dickson ACT 2602

Entry is via a cooling fernery and sheltered front porch that prevails over the deep frontage, the soft green lawn and sheltering tree. The front living embracing the private garden room, with its drift porch side. The original fireplace set with gas heater is a warming focal point, the whole room feeling at once, deeply private and open to nature.

We love the carved detailing that embellishes the kitchen cabinetry and the delicate dotting of feature tiles, with their colourful floral emblems. The galley style design, making the most of every inch, gifting ample storage and all with big views across the tranquil rear gardens. There is a wonderful open sociability to the adjacent dining room with its circular flow to living space, and a nice flow to outside, sheltered alfresco dining.

Three peaceful bedrooms are nicely sequestered to the front of the home with signature timber windows capturing all the glory and light of the surrounds. The master bedroom has a wall of mirrored robes, edged in gold to match the yellow autumnal hues of the Pagoda tree. The second bedroom has built-in-storage and leafy views. While the third bedroom can be opened to greet the living space, or closed via sliding doors, making it fit-for purpose as a spacious home office. Next door, a neat family bathroom is finished in crisp white, floor-to-ceiling tiling, with marbled counters and a ton of storage.

A sheltered alfresco alcove is informed by a trickling water feature and the calming presence of the leafy back gardens. To one side a bright and light addition could easily be utilised as a garden studio, with kitchenette/laundry, bathroom, living and bedroom. There is a ton of storage and a lovely openness to sunshine and green lawns.

Dickson is a sought-after village, known for its central locale within the dynamic inner-north. Resting at the foothills of Mt Ainslie, surrounded by green spaces, it has a relaxed village vibe. It is an easy stroll to the famous Dickson precinct for shopping and choice of international cuisine. The wetlands and Dickson playing fields are close to hand and there is a choice of public and private schooling. Close to transport, and the famous Ainslie shops, the home, is also just a stone's throw from the dynamic Braddon precinct, the CBD, and the ANU.
