73 Sherbrooke Street, Ainslie, ACT 2602

Forging a continuous connection with nature, this charming three-bedder has been thoughtfully renovated, creating the perfect urban respite for the busy family or couple. And the home packs a sustainable punch - double brick, double glazed, boosted underfloor insulation, block out blinds - making for a home of ease and comfort. 

The open-plan social arena flows seamlessly to the deck, creating the feel of an outdoor room. The whole home a study in elegant minimalism, as clean lines conspire with crisp white walls and pops of deep blue, ushering in a monumental calm. The home ideally placed on a quiet cul-de-sac, whisper quiet, yet seeded within the vibrancy of the inner north, a stone's throw from the city.

The central hub feels expansive, a kitchen neatly housed at one end, with banks of white cabinetry and dark speckled counter tops. From here you can look both ways, to the large, sheltered deck to the rear or out across the living area to the sundrenched north-eastern platform that floats you among the elements.

We love the honeyed timber floors and the subtle delineations, creating a variety of spaces for both connection and repose, all within the one airy, flowing arena. One imagines the dining table set for plenty, the doors flung open to breezes and birdsong, happy celebrations, tempting drinks mixed at the fixed bar. Then come evening, cocooned in sea blues, there is an unwinding, think comfy couches, a soft lamp or two… pretty garden views.

The intimate wing houses a trio of peaceful bedrooms including the master suite. 
A built-in-robe gifts seamless storage and the ensuite is sumptuous, all organic flecked tiling meeting soft dove grey, with a large frameless glass walk-in-shower. Two additional bedrooms centre around a family bathroom with relaxing bathtub and separate toilet.

Afternoon sun warms the back deck and raised vegetable boxes gift a kitchen bounty. The private back garden all easy-care and leisure focused, with a large open sided carport that easily doubles down as one big, long entertaining area. 

The home is within walking distance of the bustling Ainslie shops, home to Edgar's pub and the award-winning IGA. Moments from the independent restaurants and bars of the Dickson and Braddon precincts, a stone's throw from the city. Many of Canberra's best schools are at your doorstop and the ANU is not far away. The home is close to transport, including the light rail which whisks you straight to the CBD.
