This beautiful 40s home has been lovingly restored and extended, creating the perfect balance of spaces, forging a wonderful connection to the outdoors. A restrained approach honours the home's historical charms, showcasing preserved vintage details and engendering a grounded and calm escape from the nearby bustling city.

Ideally placed on the city side of Ainslie, the home is just moments from the Braddon precinct, a stone's throw from the CBD. You can see Mt Ainslie from the back deck and there is a surrounding of green spaces, including the endless trails of the Reserve. The classic red brick form with terracotta roof, sitting low…enveloped and held by immaculate and well-tended gardens.

The materiality sings with the soft notes of solid  timber joinery, earthy spotted gum floors and delicately patterned carpets. Lovely details speak of the past – bakelite and brass fixtures, timber pelmets, patterned glass and vintage drop pendant lighting. Beautifully built fixed timber joinery, including an elegant cocktail bar, feature within the combined living and dining, where life is celebrated around the original hearth, now set with a gas fireplace. 

The kitchen has been updated while still relishing the charm of a bygone era. Cobalt blue tiling pops against timber worktops, as banks of cabinetry marry with a wall of open shelving for perfectly curated crockery and glassware. Workspace and oven are perfectly integrated within the original cooking hearth, complete with timber mantle. While adjacent, a renovated laundry room, seamlessly incorporates a floor-to-ceiling pantry. 

There is a sense of intimacy and balance to the entire home, as high ceilings and light dappled rooms centre around the central family hub. A thoughtful extension has created a serene master retreat. There is an airy bedroom, modern bathroom and sunny living area, spilling to an elevated deck. Built-in-robes in solid ash, feel concordant with the original cottage, while we love the dark theme of the ensuite, its unapologetic modernity. 

The original cottage houses serene bedrooms that capture leafy views and cluster around the original bathroom with separate toilet. Here the signature timber joinery works its magic, as picture rails and built-in-robes feel historically rich. The bathroom has been updated and is simply appointed in crisp white set against preserved floor mosaics, in classic hues.

A delight of deciduous trees welcome light in winter and gift welcome shade during the hotter months. The magical gardens are a dreamy mix of natives, perennials, fruiting trees, with a bounty of home grown vegetables. Emerald green lawns wrap around the home, set against retaining walls in red brick, to match the house. It is the kind of garden you want to meander within, enjoying the dappled light, the shadow patterned grass, discovering secret alfresco nooks, all perfectly arranged for communion and retreat. 

Ideally housed on the city side of Ainslie, the home manages an enviable "5 minutes from everywhere" connectivity. Dash to Majura Park and the Airport, connect with the vital Braddon scene, immerse yourself within all the happenings of the CBD or explore the ever-changing Dickson precinct. The house is within walking distance to the city, the Ainslie shops, well-loved for Edgar's Gastro pub and the award-winning IGA, 200 metres to the walking and biking trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve. Close to transport including the light rail, providing fast links to all of Canberra, the home is also convenient to many good schools including the ANU. It is a mere 5 minutes to the CBD by car.

There is just something special about the vintage homes that edge Limestone. Perhaps its the huge wrap around gardens, deep frontages and classic double construction, muting the outside world and creating gentle havens. And no.58 is no exception, offering up all the authentic hallmarks of the era, soaring ceilings, picture rails, sash windows and gorgeous brick fireplace. Soothing timber floors stretch to meet creamy white walls, as elegant social spaces merge each to each, spilling to new timber decks, so you can bask in the sunshine. 

Nestled behind green hedges, shielded by age old trees, this classic red brick cottage serves up three peaceful bedrooms and multiple social spaces. The form all vintage pitched terracotta roof and sweet elevated front porch, edged by brickwork, creating a shielding garden bed, teeming with sweet smelling rosemary. Despite the dynamic locale - a few steps from Haig and Corrobboree Park, easy meander to the buzzing Braddon precinct and on the edge of the CBD - the home exudes a stillness, a nourishing elemental peace. 

There is a feeling as soon as you step into the generous foyer, the old world charm drawing you in. On the left an invitational tug to the huge front living area, with its celebration of light and broad brick fireplace. We love the mosaic tiled hearth, the long mantel for curated display and the art deco elegance of twin sconces and glass pendants, threaded with gold. 

Timber pocket doors, set with patterned glass can be opened, extending the living room, embracing the sunlit formal dining space. This gorgeous arena is nicely conversational with the kitchen and drinks in light and aspect via banks of windows. 

The kitchen has been updated while still honouring the authentic style, with the original cooking hearth preserved and celebrated. Banks of white cabinetry take care of storage, including a space saving pull-out pantry. There is an electric oven, gas hob and two drawer dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel, so family meals and entertaining are a breeze. 

The intimate wing is sequestered by a slender hallway and houses three welcoming bedrooms. The master is a large double room with a wall of robes and all bedrooms are blessed with gentle garden light. Think billowy sheers, soft carpets and cooling ceiling fans. The original family bathroom has been updated and features a tiled shower room, large vanity and a separate toilet. A convenient Jack and Jill arrangement allows access to the bathroom from the hallway and the sunroom beyond. 

Walls of windows grace the sunroom with amazing light, making it the place to be on cool Canberra days. There is and additional powder room off to one side and the original laundry, with its classic deep, double basins. One imagines whiling away the hours in the sunroom, curled up with a great book or immersed in a creative project. Or perhaps drifting outside to commune with family and friends on the floating deck, enjoying the natural immersion and the wonderful privacy.

The nature of the clear, flat block, extending to the south and with lovely eastern aspect, lends itself to extension or a myriad of landscaping ideas. There is a broad swell of lawn, wrapping around the side of the home, and a rustic garden shelter off to one side. There is also a long driveway, providing plenty of off-street parking, and a large double garage with attached storage room.

This gorgeous home is and easy stroll to the independent eateries, shops and bars of the dynamic Braddon precinct. Surrounded by green spaces including Haig Park and Mt Ainslie Reserve the home is also handy to Dickson and the popular Ainslie shops hosting IGA, Gastro pub and hatted restaurant, Pilot. Close to transport including light rail, providing fast links to all of Canberra, the home is a stone's throw from the ANU and the CBD.
