This home is all heart. There's no need for pro and con lists, second guessing or reservations, you will be swept away in the emotion and love from the first glance.

The heritage weatherboard cottages that line Paterson Street are Ainslie personified.

Pretty as a picture, the front porch welcomes you framed by low line gardens with the view to the Corroboree Park Precinct, Scout Hall and open spaces unobstructed. A towering liquid amber shades the front lawn, the magnolias run the length of the fence lines, veggie gardens along the side of the house, and a sunny level garden with Mount Ainslie as the backdrop.

The interiors will leave you speechless. Heritage character is nurtured throughout the home, with original doors, picture ledges, timber flooring, sash windows and high ceilings. Modern updates are sophisticated and refined, new en suite and full family bathroom are layered with luxurious stone bench tops, monotone tiling and feature timber, a timeless aesthetic sympathetic to the architecture.

This is a home where life stays the same as it has for the century before it; connection to community, tennis at the local courts, walking distance to the shops, farmers markets on Sunday and kids riding bikes to school. One car is enough as the distance to the city and amenities is hardly worth the drive.

It's a home that could stay exactly as it is for the decades to come, and it would continue to serve as a beautiful and endearing home in the heart of Ainslie.
