1/71 Paterson Street, Ainslie ACT 2602

Auction | Saturday 28th October at 10:00am On siteAbsolutely steeped in local history, being owned by the Ainslie butcher and his family from the 1920's to the late 1970's, this 2 storey character duplex underwent a huge overhaul in 2004. The extension and full renovation was undertaken by well-known local builders MAG Constructions, under the watchful eye of John Andriolo. The current owners have added German double and triple glazed windows and doors throughout (amongst other things) to ensure even greater energy efficiency and comfort. Of full brick construction and featuring many of the hallmarks of 1920's architecture such as 9ft battened ceilings, picture rails and a large and gorgeous open fire place, this is truly a lovely home. The modern kitchen is large and well-appointed and both bathrooms are sparkling and functional. There's a lovely, sunny family room off the kitchen and the big, separate formal lounge opens through double doors onto a sunny, paved courtyard. All 3 bedrooms are generous in size and reverse cycle air conditioning to most rooms adds to the year round comfort. A double garage (with automatic door) at the rear of the home provides great car accommodation, extra storage and secure access to the dwelling.The word that leaps to mind when you think about this home is 'liveability'. - from cold winter nights spent around a crackling fire with a glass of red, to long sunny brunches in the private courtyard. It's a fabulous townhouse alternative offering a lock up and leave lifestyle. It's located at the city end of Ainslie with easy access to the fabulous Corroboree Park, the famous Ainslie shops, Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve and walking distance to the delights of Braddon. The owners will sell at auction, so don't dare dawdle!At a glance...- 1920's full brick, 2 storey duplex - Double and triple glazed (German) windows- Open fireplace, 9ft battened ceilings and picture rails- 2 fully renovated bathrooms and 3 toilets- Stylish, well-appointed modern kitchen- Reverse cycle cooling in most rooms- Sunny courtyard for entertaining- Double garage with auto door- A short walk from Corroboree ParkEER 1.5
