A rare opportunity has arisen to secure a stunning home in the heritage listed Corroboree Park Precinct of Ainslie. In one of Canberra’s most iconic and sought-after suburbs, Corroboree Park exemplifies the heart of Ainslie and is a focal point of community gatherings.

Ideally situated opposite the tennis courts and north to the rear, this 1138m2 block is an oasis close to the city.

The original 1927 weatherboard worker’s cottage has been renovated and upgraded, while retaining the old-world charm, with high ceilings, picture rails, open fireplace, timber sash windows and even the old bakelite style light switches. A modern extension adds both a children’s bedroom wing and the new hub of the family home with open plan family and dining adjoining a spacious kitchen. Sunlight floods these rooms year-round and turns the polished concrete floors into a winter heatbank. The outdoor entertaining area flows naturally from the family and dining area ensuring that those who love to entertain during the Spring and Summer months can enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

The bedroom wing takes full advantage of its north easterly orientation. The rooms are filled with light and window views to the meticulously manicured gardens. This wing is well serviced by the large modern bathroom, featuring a full-sized bathtub. There is ample storage with an oversized double garage, storage loft and mud room/laundry with extra shelving and cupboards.

The home is surrounded by an established garden that is in flower most of the year. Wander around the red brick paths to find fruit trees, herbs, vegetable garden and a chicken coop. A 10,000L underground rainwater tank helps to keep the garden green in all seasons.

With access to the tennis and basketball courts, the BBQ and a park playground at your doorstep gives you a great choice of meeting friends in the park or entertaining at home. For the young at heart, a short stroll could find you at the base of Mount Ainslie, amid the Mount Pleasant bike trails, or even enjoying a schooner or glass of wine at Edgars Inn.
