Ainslie and Adorable
For many years, the vendors have enjoyed the pleasures of living in Ainslie - one of Canberra's heritage suburbs, established in 1928: shady avenues lined by mature deciduous trees that are home to abundant parrots & magpies; the many"pocket parks"and wetlands (directly across the road) that are a haven for nature lovers and dog walkers; the nearby walking trails on Mount Ainslie and Mount Majura, with their towering gums and abundant wildlife including kangaroos; the proximityof cafes, restaurants and shops at the Ainslie and Dickson shops (including Ainslie IGA, one of the best boutique supermarkets in Canberra) and the much-loved Dickson library and pool; and the peace and quiet of this leafy suburb with its cycle paths, cottage gardens and well-cared for homes in a village atmosphere.
Located five minutes from Braddon & the Civic city centre and 15 minutes from the Southside and Belconnen, Ainslie combines the very best of inner-city living with the bush capital experience. Tasteful renovations have produced a very comfortable home and beautiful gardens including a spacious, covered Mediterranean-style courtyard lined with citrus trees, and a separate grassy area under the shade of a mature Japanese elm and apple tree, lined by attractive conifers and shrubs. The back garden in particular is a delightful spot for breakfast, coffee or a pre-dinner drink on a sunny evening. A separate spacious studio with view onto the garden is a haven for artwork, craft, exercise or other recreation and could easily be converted to a fourth bedroom if required. The house has a large separate lounge with French doors onto the courtyard, and views of the front or back garden from every room. Central heating and split system air conditioners make it comfortable all year round. The kitchen and bathroom have been fully renovated (with a European laundry in the bathroom) and polished boards are throughout. Built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms and large linen and coat cupboards provide plenty of extra storage. The home is north facing, so gets the best of the morning sun in winter. Mature and productive citrus trees (Tahitian lime, mandarin and cumquat) will delight those who enjoy cooking and making jam and preserves, and a kitchen garden means you can grow your own organic veggies and herbs. The house is very well located: North Ainslie Primary School is on the nearby corner with Hawdon Street, it is a five-minute walk to Emmaus Christian School and Dickson College and the beautiful Dickson wetlands and playing fields are directly over the road. It is a 10-minute walk to Dickson (with a tram stop coming in 2019) along the tree lined canal path, and a 12 minute walk to the Ainslie shops.
