A gorgeous combo of old and new, a unique use of up-cycled rustic elements…your head filled with poetic images of life on the land, iconic Aussie hand-built sheds, the organic hues of endless paddocks and big sky. Modern style and laconic design are fused creating an inspiring mix as contemporary light filled interiors, spark joy with pops of sumptuous texture and colour.<br/><br/>This beautiful two-bedroom townhouse is part of an award winning boutique development, that employs a mix of storied elements and artistic touches to capture your imagination. Old farm tools are buried within polished concrete floors and original works of copper and wood adorn the walls, as timber stairs with iron railings float within the welcoming foyer. Beneath a large basement provides secure underground parking for two cars, adjacent re-cycled iron storage shed, bike racks and art adorned walls.<br/><br/>Ideally placed in the heart of the sought-after inner north, the home is moments from the bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts, a heartbeat from the CBD. Yet all around, a rare immersion in bushland gardens, as grasses, native ground covers, bottle brush and tea tree hedges edge meandering paths and corrugated iron sheets are assembled in sculptural walls.<br/><br/>Elegant interiors combine with low impact design to deliver a comfortable, eco-friendly way of living with a whopping 8.0 EER. Double glazing, enhanced insulation and on-site composting with shared greenhouse and vegetable gardens gift a sustainable lifestyle, encouraging you to live lightly on this earth. <br/><br/>Within it is all polished hardwood floors as an organic scheme of stone and timber coalesces with soft white walls. A sweeping dining, kitchen and living is arranged in an open plan with wall of bankable glazing that opens to a private sunny garden, enclosed by native hedges and bright flowering bottle brush. <br/><br/>Northern sunlight brightens the social arena, with central kitchen a dream for meal making and communing with family and friends. A breakfast bar is a lovely gathering spot, as stone worktops combine with stainless-steel appliances from Bosch, banks of crisp white cabinetry with a splash of opalescent blue.<br/><br/>Timber stairs usher past geometric papered wall, to two peaceful bedrooms, both with built-in-robes for seamless storage. Bedroom one draws light and treetop views into the space via clerestory window and is adjacent to a roomy family bathroom. The master bedroom frames a silvery grove of birch trees via a bank of casement windows and flows to ensuite bathroom. Both bathrooms glisten with walls of rich midnight blue offset by soothing notes of soft grey.<br/><br/>The home is a few steps from Hope Street Playground and Blue Gum Preschool. It is an easy stroll to the famous Dickson precinct for shopping and choice of international cuisine. Lyneham and Dickson wetlands, Hope St Playground, Ainslie Oval, Dickson Playing Fields, and Jandura Park are all close to hand and there is a choice of public and private schooling. Close to transport, the much-loved Ainslie shops and Mount Ainslie reserve, the home is a stone's throw from the dynamic Braddon precinct, the CBD, and the ANU. <br/><br/><br/>features.<br/><br/>.beautiful and unique two-bedroom townhouse in the heart of the inner north<br/>.part of the award winning "one of a kind" development<br/>.poetic use of textural and up-cycled organic elements with art evident throughout the complex<br/>.sustainable eco-vision with 8.0 EER, enhanced insulation, double glazing, on-site composting, shared greenhouse and vegetable garden<br/>.set within stunning communal native gardens<br/>.open plan kitchen, dining and living drifting to north facing courtyard garden<br/>.generous central kitchen with banks of storage including small appliance bay, stone benchtops, breakfast bar, Bosch wall oven, electric cooktop, integrated rangehood and dishwasher.<br/>.downstairs powder room<br/>.two bedrooms upstairs including master, both with built-in-robes<br/>.master with large ensuite bathroom and sunny northern views to grove of silver birch trees<br/>.beautiful family bathroom <br/>.hardwood floors<br/>.timber staircase with beautiful, papered feature wall<br/>.European laundry<br/>.linen closet<br/>.under stair storage<br/>.electric reverse cycle heating and cooling<br/>.ceiling fans<br/>.courtyard garden with flowering native hedges, mature bottle brush and flowering shrubs<br/>.gate access to laneway leading to gardens and street<br/>.direct access from dining area to communal native gardens<br/>.secure basement parking for two vehicles with storage unit<br/>.secure intercom access<br/>.a few steps from Hope Street Playground and Blue Gum Preschool<br/>.handy to Wetlands, sporting fields and reserve <br/>.close to transport and a variety of schools and colleges<br/>.close to Ainslie shops, Dickson and Braddon precincts, the ANU and the CBD<br/> <br/>FINE DETAILS (all approximate):<br/><br/>EER: 6.0<br/>Built: 2014<br/><br/>Downstairs living size: 52 m2 <br/>Upstairs living size: 44 m2<br/>Total living size: 96 m2<br/><br/>Front Courtyard: 8.6m2<br/>Back Courtyard: 20 m2 <br/>Total courtyard: 28.6 m2<br/><br/>Rates: $1,335.00 pa<br/>Land tax: $1,535.00 pa (investors only)<br/><br/><br/>Total: $959 pq<br/><br/>Total number units in complex: 7 units
