On a peaceful street with deep verges and 80 year old Holly Oak trees, this original Tocumwal cottage has been re-imagined and extended, achieving a residence of distinctive timelessness. Detailed consideration throughout with high ceilings, exposed Oregon beams, bespoke glazing's, preserved red brick chimney, aspect perfection and inter-play with the landscape. The spatial layering provides a range of experiences from intimate to expansive, this is a rare feat of continuity of space, volume and light.

Set on a spacious 1053m2 (approx.) block, bonney.home rests behind low stone walls, hedge and shady lawn. The charming porch frames the front entrance and driveway that leads to a pitched roof carport providing side access to the house, via double glass doors. The modern interior combined with soft old-world timber features, imbues the home with soul, elegance and understated luxury. The clever floor-plan divides the house into connected wings, centred around the impeccable living and dining spaces. The main artery connecting them all is the expansive timber deck that hugs the northern side, bordered only by a rows of glass sliding and bi-fold doors. This is a flexible, family home that allows for celebration, connection, privacy and repose.

As you step through the front door, you are greeted by a visual experience, as the living spaces opens dramatically to the north and the established landscaping. Light filters in as you take a moment to admire your surrounds. The loft in your peripheral is accessed via an iron spiral stair and takes you to a private study, with integrated joinery, and views over the living, dining room.

A pair of French doors provide a choice of entry into the kitchen from the dining area. The contemporary kitchen is a central entertaining hub – white on white, large island, sweeping marble benches, double oven – perfect for the gourmet cook.

The luxurious master bedroom with ensuite and floor to ceiling built-in wardrobe. The ensuite is minimally but perfectly executed with a walk-in glass shower, vanity and toilet. Two charming bedrooms, feature bespoke floor to ceiling windows to welcome the daylight. The third bedroom, occupying the front of the house, is a considerable room with floor to ceiling built-in wardrobe.

The curved garden beds are edged in brick and the selection of mixed plantings provide interest, shade and light and low bluestone walls provide informal seating. There are also raised beds for growing herbs and vegetables.

With abundant green spaces, walking and bush trails, vibrant local shopping precinct and a lovely sense of community, Ainslie is a highly coveted village within the dynamic inner-north. Within walking distance to a variety of public and private schools and close to transport, the home, is just a stone's throw from Braddon, the CBD and the ANU.
