A rare opportunity has arisen to secure a stunning family home in the heritage listed Corroboree Park precinct of Ainslie. In one of Canberra's oldest and most sought-after suburbs, Corroboree Park epitomizes the heart of Ainslie and is a focal point of community gatherings.
Ideally situated at the north end of the park, opposite the tennis courts, this 1138m2 block is an oasis close to the city. Tucked behind a mature hedge, it is a delight to sit on the front verandah and listen to the hum of children playing in the park and the friendly banter of a tennis match.
The original 1927 weatherboard worker's cottage has been fully renovated inside and out. The old-world charm has been preserved with high ceilings, picture rails, open fireplace, timber sash windows and bakelite light switches. The central hallway offers a warm welcome to the home with recycled hardwood flooring from Thor's Hammer. A lounge, two bedrooms and a study are all kept warm in winter by hydronic wall panels.
A modern extension adds both the new hub of the family home with open plan family and dining adjoining a spacious kitchen, as well as a children's bedroom wing. These rooms are filled with sunlight year-round and the polished concrete floors are a welcome heat-bank in winter. The outdoor entertaining area flows naturally from the family and dining area, ensuring that those who love to entertain during the warmer months can take full advantage of the northerly aspect.
The home offers ample storage with an oversized double garage, storage loft, as well as combined mudroom and laundry with extra shelving and cupboards. Crimsafe security screens to all windows and doors give peace of mind to open the house to catch cross breezes in summer. Quality window furnishings add to the insulation rating of the property.
Every window is framed with views to the vibrant established gardens. Flowering year round, you will find a mix of cottage plants and natives, inviting bees and birds to visit and pollinate. Wander around the red brick paths to find many fruit trees, herbs, vegetable garden, chicken coop and potting shed. A 10,000L underground rainwater tank ensures the garden can be kept green in all seasons.
Corroboree Park entices the locals to the basketball and tennis courts, community BBQ, cricket pitch and playground. With these facilities at your doorstep you have a great choice of meeting friends in the park or entertaining at home. Walking trails to Mount Ainslie or the Mount Majura bike paths can be accessed within minutes. Ainslie Shops, the Ainslie Football Club, bustling Braddon and the city are all within easy walking distance.
The opportunity to secure a character heritage property is rare in Canberra. Don't miss this opportunity to make 25 Corroboree Park your family home.
