27 Tyson St, Ainslie ACT 2602

There is a sweet simplicity to the front living room with its vaulted ceilings, decorative cornices, leafy views to front garden and street. The fireplace, edged in Canberra reds with floating timber mantle and inset pot belly stove, is a lovely focal point and romantic spot to gather on cool winter evenings with a cup of tea or a delicious glass of pinot noir.

Flowing to kitchen with soft pink timber cabinetry, shiny brass handles and freestanding Aga cooker in fresh spearmint. The pastel tones are topped with timber bench tops inset with stone for resting hot pots and pans. Stained glass details in gold, blue, ruby red, softly filter leafy views of trees. With plenty of space for a table and chairs, this is an evocative space for gathering with family and friends.

The master bedroom has a serene, monastic quality - rich timber joinery, muted sunlight through antique window glass, dappling the walls in watery colour.

A pair of adjacent family bedrooms are blessed with quietude and vistas to lush landscape via double timber windows. All three bedrooms are amenable to a fresh white bathroom with tub, brand new vanity and separate toilet.

Awash with sunlight and laid with soft lawn, beautifully planted with fig and pear trees, the north facing garden encircles and embraces, and is perfectly positioned for a rear extension that captures its north east aspect. Green garden walls privatise and enclose and there is ample space for a garden table or picnic rug, set for plenty of long lunches or afternoon delights.
