5/19 Wise Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

This airy three-bedder reads like a country home and fosters the art of beautiful living, informed by nature and well-being. Sunlight tumbles through the windows, making the rich timber floors glow golden. The vast open living, dining and kitchen enriched by a feeling of endless expanses, as green gardens wrap around the home. 

Set at the end of a boutique complex and open to the world on three sides, this stunning townhouse is enveloped by nature. A brilliant orange maple lights up the front yard each autumn in a blaze of colour, and come spring, the entire length of Wise Street is transformed into a cloud of pink and white, as stunning cherry blossoms bloom in abundanceThere is a private driveway, dedicated sheltered parking and a single garage with internal access. Pedestrian access is edged by flowering camelias and gated courtyard walls creating quite the welcoming and deeply private entry sequence.

The home is seeded within a wonderful urban lifestyle that belies its peaceful country vibes. It is an easy stroll to all the happenings of Lonsdale Street, moments from Merici College and a short stroll to the CBD. Ainslie Village is not far and there is a surrounding of greens spaces, from the pine tree dotted Haig Park to Ainslie Oval and the endless bushland trails of Mt Ainslie. 

Informing it all is an easy-care lifestyle and a continuous connection with landscape. We love the way the home is also accessed from Cowper Street, so you can wander beneath the towering street trees, entering via a gate that interrupts the green hedged walls and be transported to a garden wonderland. The lawn laced with shade, stretching on forever, gifting plenty of space to play and relax. 

The kitchen is a timeless mix of black and white, with stone worktops and plenty of storage. A long peninsula provides a spot to gather, allowing small hands to help and family conversations to flow. There are quality appliances from Westinghouse, including a dishwasher and a lovely open and convivial flow. Think glass sliders spilling to green lawns, think ample space to gather or to seek solitude, think kids and pets romping and chasing beneath the trees.

The ground floor is complete with a laundry and separate powder room, so nobody has to traipse upstairs. While the second level is made cosy by warm carpets and large windows that welcome glorious light. The master bedroom spills to a private balcony, so you can step outside and dream amidst the tree canopies. There is a playful angled window, a built-in-robe and ensuite bathroom with double vanities and a black stone countertop that artfully zig-zags to conform to the angled walls. 

Two additional bedrooms, both with excellent storage, centre around a family bathroom with a bathtub. Bedroom one also drifts to a private balcony and enjoys a quiet leafy vista and both bedrooms have excellent built-in-storage.

Wise Street is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including Haig Park and the nearby biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios… There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its fabulous IGA and gastro pub. There are plenty of good schools close to hand including Merici College which is a few steps away. The CBD is whisper close and with buses and light rail at your doorstep you can ditch the car, easily exploring the whole of Canberra.
