32 Canning St, Ainslie ACT 2602

Many think of Duffy Street when seeking a home backing reserve, 32 Canning Street is one of about ten special homes that also finds its place on the nature reserve in a quiet enclave of beautiful homes and gardens.

Our nation's capital has a proud, ingrained link with open space. For many of us, this close proximity to the bush is second nature, our immersion in natural surrounds is comforting, desirable. When four-legged friends come to visit over the fence, it feels simply instinctive. Kangaroos feeding at dawn, nature over your back fence, the experience of living in this home is not only the bush but the city within sight from the elevated garden vista.

This particular location isn't just about the nature reserve and its proximity to the Mount Ainslie precinct. It's also a promise of things to come. The green belt will soon be connected to the new luxury Foothills Development, and with that will undoubtedly arise a vibrant new precinct that will run from mountain to lake via Ainslie Avenue.

The suburb, as well as the street, are enjoying significant urban renewal. Many homes in this leafy, tightly-held street are being renovated to ensure ongoing returns and a premium offering. This particular privately-built 1960s home offers generous living spaces which extend and open up to offer large family areas.

The bones are strong, the architectural details are unique, the home has a story to tell. It has integrity, the potential for capturing stunning views, and scope for a growing family. It provides a solid foundation, with open-plan family areas, four generous bedrooms, a lush established private garden, ideal for green thumbs, as well as a double lock-up garage and plentiful off-street parking.

Set amongst majestic leafy trees, the light-filled home has room to breathe and grow. The architectural detailing speaks of the era while inviting the lucky new inhabitants to bring their own personality and style into the welcoming space. This very special family home will remind you exactly why Canberra is known as the bush capital.
