#soldbyholly $970,000

This genteel three-bedder is tucked away on the curve of a quiet loop street, moments from the Dickson and Braddon hubs, within easy reach of a range of well-regarded local schools including Dickson College and Daramalan College, and a short light rail ride to the CBD. Beautiful updates and attention to detail have curated a home of soul and distinction. Shadow play dapples countertops, while expansive white walls and lofty voids lend a gallery like feel. Instantly recognisable - mixed brick terrace, semi-detached, arrayed across two-levels - the home cuts a fine figure in the landscape. Think coming home to the grace of a precious treasure, beautifully preserved while championing a contemporary indoor outdoor lifestyle.

Semi-detached duplexes of this era are having quite the moment, the solid double brick construction and excellent floor plans, celebrated and restored. Here the timber floors have been buffed with a moody dark stain and French doors added, so the open dining and living can embrace the north-western garden. The updated kitchen is a delight, set beneath big windows, with lots of open shelving for curated display. Think mirrored backdrops to reflect the light, highlighting hand thrown ceramics, favourite wine glasses.

There is a generous study nook that opens directly to the north and the convenience of a downstairs laundry and separate toilet. The classic welcoming foyer remains in place, with lots of under stair storage. The original timber stairwell with carved banister ushering upwards, past the parquetry laid landing, the big clerestory window framing an age-old oak tree. The intimate wing delivering three peaceful bedrooms with elevated tree-tops. Each room has built-in-storage and there is a quiet space on the landing for a study desk, beneath the big window. The bathroom has been renovated with a nod to the past, think Victorian style, white and black tiling, and a relaxing bathtub.

This lovely vintage home has a gentle order and an easy connection to long gardens both front and back. A simple front porch looks across a deep square of lawn, with green trees creating a natural courtyard enclosure. Meanwhile the big, back garden delivers a wonderful country feel - reaching arms of mature trees and raised vegetable beds with lots of space for satisfying kitchen bounties.

The home is handy to the green fields of Majura and Ainslie Oval and the charming Ainslie shops for a relaxed pub meal and selection of great cheeses at the IGA. The nearby Braddon and Dickson precincts offer a plethora of shopping and eateries extending a vibrant urban lifestyle. Resting at the foothills of Mt Ainslie, surrounded by green spaces, the apartment enjoys a relaxed village vibe combined with the buzz of the city. The home is also close to transport including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD and the ANU.
