If you've been looking for a family home of not only character and charm but personality, utility, and a point of difference, then your search may well end at 49 Campbell Street. People buy in Ainslie for a variety of reasons but ultimately, it's the lifestyle on offer; the vibrant local shops, tranquil parklands, Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve and the immediate access to Braddon restaurants and the City Centre. This home is perfectly positioned to offer all of that and more!
Hidden behind a high and private hedge, and nestled amongst beautifully established gardens, the original part of the cottage was built in the 1930's, so you can expect timber sash windows, picture rails, a gorgeous open fireplace and high ceilings. What will surprise you is the mezzanine library by 'Fineline Design' and the soaring ceilings in the contemporary extension designed by 'Hugh Gordon.'
What also quickly becomes apparent is that this is a home filled with memories, love and laughter.
The cypress pine floors are gorgeous, and the updated kitchen is definitely the hub of the home, fit with stainless steel integrated sinks, steam oven, induction cook top and Bosch dishwasher, it's a large and inviting space with easy access to the family room and meals area. There are four bedrooms, including a splendid large main with built-in-robe, walk-in robe and en-suite including Villeroy and Boch vanity and wall hung WC. There is 204sqm of living in total, making it larger than most Ainslie homes.
Step outside and you will not only find a large deck but beautifully meandering gardens and a generous double garage (with auto door) which can easily transform into a great games room. There is also a garden studio, complete with its own plumbing and power – a magic teen retreat or artist's space. A work shop and compound area are located at the rear of the property along with a fire pit area and vegie plots. This property is very special being right across the road from a little park, a local meeting place for neighborhood kids and home to a communal trampoline. It's also a short, flat walk to the Ainslie shops, Haig Park markets and the historic, Corroboree Park.
This is a unique and lovely home in a terrific location. The current owners have loved being part of the friendly and artistic Ainslie community and have watched the area grow over the 30 years with IGA, Edgars Inn, Mamma Dough and the newly established Bakehouse all being a favourite for this family.
The ocean beckons and a home awaits a new family to enjoy.
