62 Sherbrooke Street, Ainslie ACT 2602

Auction | Saturday 17th June at 11:30am On site

The beauty of these 'Riley Newsom' weatherboard cottages not only lies in the charm of 1950's character but the ease with which they can be renovated and extended and the further potential that they offer. 62 Sherbrooke Street is no exception.

Named after the architect who designed them and imported from Canada in the early 1950's, the homes are characterised by timber sash windows, open fire place, Baltic Pine floors and their vertical weatherboard cladding. I have seen some magnificent examples of how these cottages can be transformed into gorgeous, large, family homes.

Nestled on a beautifully landscaped block of 711m2 with a northerly aspect to the front overlooking the North Ainslie Primary School oval (never to be built out!), and with views of Mt Ainslie to the rear, the home also features a recently renovated bathroom, LED downlighting, ducted gas heating and reverse cycle air conditioning. Imagine the joys of hosting guests for summer garden parties on the lawn surrounded by beautiful trees, or cold winter nights snuggled in front of a crackling fire with a nice glass of red whilst you plan what you will do to make this place even better. The sellers have bought elsewhere and need this one sold.
