84 Officer Pl, Ainslie ACT 2602

The classic red brick form rises from its leafy enclosure with simple grace. A mature plum tree has been perfectly shaped to act as a living umbrella, casting shade across the lawn and privatising the elevated deck. As you step inside, you are welcomed by a duo of foyers, linked by archways, it's the perfect spot for hanging winter woollies and coats in the dedicated cupboard.

The expansive front living area is so serene forming a lovely connection with the gardens. Northern light pours through the big timber framed window and the aspect is delightful. The second living area curves to greet the dining space that sits beneath a large window, crowded with blue flowering hydrangeas. There is a gas heater and gorgeous vintage features, including an interior ribboned glass window and amber glass pendant lights. The addition of ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling keeps you in complete comfort all year round.

The spacious updated kitchen features excellent bench space and banks of storage that provide a spot for everything. We love the large window that sits above the double sink, so you can watch the kids and pets at play on the soft lawn.

A hallway ushers to four bedrooms, including the master with its wall of built-in-robes and ensuite bathroom. Big windows welcome sunshine and garden views, including the riot of blossom that is just now adorning the prolific lemon tree. There are three additional bedrooms centred around a family bathroom with a bathtub. The bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white, offset by softly patterned black tiled flooring.

Canberra reds and gentle curves characterise the pretty back gardens. There is an elevated alfresco stage for gathering in the sunshine beneath the tumbling jasmine and even a vine twined bin nook. A weeping cherry tree features within the emerald, green lawn and beautiful mixed plantings deliver lots of texture and colour. This truly is a wonderful home all round.

Ainslie itself is a sought-after village, known for its tree-lined streets, unchanged cottages, green spaces and relaxed community vibe. Close to the Dickson precinct, Dickson wetlands and Mt Ainslie reserve, this central locale, connects you to a lively mix of independent cafes, restaurants and shops plus walking and biking trails. You are close to public and private schools, transport, and the famous Ainslie shops. A short drive will take you to the dynamic Braddon precinct, the CBD, and the ANU.
