Backing directly onto Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve, this executive family home offers an exceptional connection to one of Canberra's most treasured landscapes. Step through your rear gate to explore the reserve's walking trails, return home to relaxed outdoor entertaining, and enjoy an elevated Duffy Street position with views towards Black Mountain and Telstra Tower.
Generous interiors, a thoughtfully remodelled kitchen and a choice of living spaces create a home equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. With four spacious bedrooms, a separate downstairs rumpus room and beautifully established gardens, there is room to come together and space to enjoy some quiet.
The main living level brings the kitchen, dining and lounge together in an expansive open plan layout, with skylights providing additional light and ventilation. A dedicated formal dining area offers a welcoming setting for dinner with friends, while bi-fold doors open to the alfresco, extending the living space outdoors.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen combines considered finishes with an impressive selection of appliances. A substantial stone island provides room to prepare, serve and gather, complemented by extensive cupboard and drawer storage. A 900mm Smeg induction cooktop incorporating a gas wok burner, Smeg oven and Miele dishwasher cater to enthusiastic home cooks, while a Zip boiling and chilled-water tap adds everyday convenience.
Positioned away from the main living spaces, the bedrooms can be closed off for added privacy. The main suite features a walk-through robe and a beautifully appointed ensuite with underfloor heating, full-height tiling, dual shower heads and a heated double towel rail. Ducted heating and cooling, a separate reverse-cycle air conditioner, ceiling fan and external motorised blinds allow for individual comfort.
The remaining bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with built-in robes and space for a queen-sized bed. They share a main bathroom featuring a bathtub, floating vanity and full-height tiling.
Downstairs, the separate TV/rumpus room offers flexibility for family life, with its own outdoor access making it well suited to a teenagers' living space, a home office or a quiet place to unwind. A wine cellar, additional under-house storage and a double garage with internal access further enhance the home's practicality.
Outside, a series of inviting spaces makes the most of the reserve-side setting. The covered alfresco features retractable overhead and side shades, with a timber deck and courtyard providing further options for outdoor dining or a quiet morning coffee. Established hedging, garden beds and fruit trees create a leafy setting, supported by irrigation and a low-maintenance garden design.
With the reserve at your back gate and Ainslie shops, schools and playing fields within walking distance, this is a home that brings together space, comfort and the enduring appeal of Canberra's Inner North.
Come and experience the space, privacy and remarkable reserve connection for yourself.
