17 Piper St, Ainslie ACT 2602, Australia

This gorgeous 1960s cottage has been completely redesigned into a modern family masterpiece with impeccable design, harmonious colours, and bright, high-quality custom finishes. The end result is fascinating and awe-inspiring. An exquisite blend of old and new has been achieved with all the charm of its origin retained. Nestled in a nice quiet tree-lined street offering a block of 556 square meters.

A strong connection between the house and the garden has developed, creating a very private and quiet environment with beautiful lush garden views from all windows. With an abundance of natural light pouring into the house, the spacious open-plan living and dining area features floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors overlooking an outdoor timber deck. The kitchen is a work of art with a stone island bench and ample storage.

Fully renovated with four spacious bedrooms, three with built-in robes that are serviced by a gorgeous renovated bathroom. The fourth bedroom could become a charming second living area or a study with a fireplace.

The gardens are low-maintained and an outdoor area gives you flexibility when family and friends stop by. There have been many barbeques held on this deck while the children are playing on a manicured lawn. Privacy in these outdoor areas has been achieved with high hedges around the house.

Ainslie is a suburb located close to the magnificent Mt Ainslie foothills, Dickson and CBD. You will have great restaurants and shopping centres in abundance. Only a short distance to public transport, ANU, North Ainslie Primary School and Braddon Precinct.

With such a beautiful renovation, the charm of the 1960s has become the eternal home of the modern Canberra family.
