What a transformation! This stunning 1950's home has been completely reimagined into a modern family masterpiece with impeccable design, harmonious colour and light, and high-quality custom finishes. The end result is inviting, impressive and one you'll love coming home to every single day.

True to the area, the weatherboard cottage aesthetic has been kept out front, retaining the homes original charm and character, but it's what lies out back that will surprise and delight. A modern extension clad in sleek black Sycon and filled with natural light that streams in from big double-glazed windows, sliding doors and skylights. 

Inside, the open-plan family space is a pleasure to be in and the hub of the home. The kitchen is a serene work of art with a custom concrete island bench, Carrara marble tile splash back and a window behind the cooktop so you can keep an eye on the kids while you make Sunday lunch. Throughout the home, natural oak flooring gives warmth and feels great underfoot, while both the bathrooms are well designed and luxurious without pretense.

Outside, this home is a joy. There gardens are low maintenance and multiple entertaining spaces gives you flexibility when family and friends pop in. You can be enjoying dinner parties under the beautiful big tree while the kids play on the grassy area, easily within view. The yard is private thanks to high fencing and there's plenty of room for a barbecue and a firepit for those chilly nights.

Ainslie is a suburb that needs no introduction. Nestled between the city and the bush it's a lifestyle envied by many Canberrans. With great local shops and close to Mt Ainslie, Civic and Dickson, you're never far from outstanding restaurants, retail and natural beauty. Piper Street is in the north putting you among leafy streets, characterful homes and a high growth future return. 

With such a gorgeous rebirth, this 1950's charmer has become a forever home for the modern Canberra family. A haven that takes advantage of old and new, close to the action and the bush.

Sitting Pretty In The Inner City

Ray White Canberra

When a home has been owned by the one family for over 50 years, it holds something special that can't easily be quantified in a features list. It's something that is felt and experienced, the emotional response you have when you enter through the front door. When I first walked through 78 Duffy Street, I couldn't help but be enveloped in calm and happiness, a truly heart-warming energy fills this home. 

Perched on the high side of Duffy street, anchored to its foundations with stone plinths and double brick construction, this home proudly looks out over Ainslie's redbrick charm, past the city, to Black Mountain. Sunlight stretches in through the living area and bedrooms, soaking the home in warmth during cool winter months, while the deciduous trees out front shelter the home from the summer sun. 

Timber joinery  flank the kitchen with ceiling high display cabinets, while the kitchen sink overlooks the private rear garden and entertaining area. A second living area then entices you into the backyard, or through to the three generous bedrooms. 

This is a family home that has played host to four children growing up, and bringing their babies home, grandchildren who are now adults too. 78 Duffy street is where heart can be found. It speaks of Christmas' spent around the family dining table, the home animated by generations of laughter and memories, evenings cosied up with loved ones, even day to day life enriched by living somewhere truly special.

Why Knock Down Re-build When Better Building Have Already Done it Better?

If you saw a photo of this home in a magazine, you'd know exactly where it was. This home is iconic Canberra circa 1920. Red brick teamed with white render on the exterior. Double timber sash windows and terracotta roof tiles spotted with lichen. All architectural hallmarks of historic Ainslie homes built in the early years of our Capital's establishment. 

A piece of our heritage and suitably listed thus. Built in the days when the suburb of Ainslie encompassed both Reid and Braddon and open fireplaces were the norm. Named after Baron Augustus Alt, the first surveyor-general of NSW, this quiet enclave has been tightly held and it's not hard to see why. 

We've all driven past these historic homes on the edge of the city and admired their character. Set in the only crescent street off Limestone avenue, this home has a charismatic charm that stands out in a world now full of cookie-cutter houses. It's one of the unique few that capture a moment in time and solidly stand watching as the crisp modern apartment buildings rise up to change the Canberra skyline.

This home has been appreciated and loved for the Grande Dame that she is. This is in keeping with the homes heritage status, it has been respectfully renovated over recent years to retain her charms whilst bringing her into the modern era. All characterful elements having been preserved, such as 9ft high ceilings, double timber sash windows, polished Cypress & Jarrah flooring and original picture rails, are all complimenting, linking tradition with change.

Both the main bathroom and ensuite were renovated in 2016 and the renovated kitchen, encased in beautiful timber windows, now includes the modern essentials with caesarstone benchtops, new cabinetry and new modern appliances. You'll love the efficient mains gas heating but the brick fire-places, one in the entry and one in the master bedroom as well as a slow combustion log fire in the loungeroom, is where you'll congregate on those chilly Canberra nights.

More than perfect for a family seeking a home on the city fringe with both character and modern touches, this home is close to all of Canberra's best amenities. Reputable schools, both public and private, the Canberra Centre, Australian War Memorial, Braddon and Mt Ainslie, all walking distance. The Ainslie shops is highly revered for its great supermarket, quality retail shops, gastro pub Edgar's Inn, Pilot restaurant and other great independent shops and services. It's a location and life-style coveted by many. The block is a super generous 1,032m2 which means that there's ample room to do more if you want to.

This heritage masterpiece is an icon of a bygone era and is now bequeathed to you. Contact Stephen Bunday today to discuss your future in this grande historic home.
