$1,238,000
Some homes have a warmth that's immediately felt the moment you arrive. Set beneath the gentle canopy of a mature Japanese Pagoda tree, 9 Kernot Street is one of those places. A home where mid-century character, garden privacy and a superb Inner North address come together in a way that feels both timeless and welcoming.
Built in the 1960s, the home celebrates the qualities that made homes of this era so enduring. High ceilings, solid brick construction and generous windows fill the interiors with natural light, while original details including timber French doors, casement windows and a classic brick fireplace bring a sense of authenticity that is increasingly rare to find.
Set on a generous 643m² block and framed by established gardens, the home sits comfortably within its leafy surrounds. The red brick façade is softened by camellias and greenery, while two long driveways provide excellent off-street parking and lead to a carport and separate brick garage with direct access to the backyard.
A sheltered front porch welcomes you inside, where the living room immediately sets the tone. Bathed in light and looking out to the greenery beyond, it's a relaxed and inviting space anchored by the original fireplace, the perfect place to gather through Canberra's cooler months.
The layout flows naturally through to the dining area and adjoining kitchen, creating a connected and social heart to the home. The galley-style kitchen is both functional and full of personality, offering generous storage and lovely outlooks across the rear garden.
Accommodation includes three bedrooms, each enjoying leafy outlooks and beautiful natural light through timber-framed windows. The main bedroom includes extensive mirrored wardrobes, while the second bedroom offers built-in storage.
The family bathroom is neat and bright with floor-to-ceiling tiling, a bathtub and excellent storage, while a separate laundry and toilet add practicality to the floorplan.
Stepping outside, the home opens to a peaceful backyard designed for relaxed living. A paved and sheltered alfresco area provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or entertaining, surrounded by lawn, established plantings and the gentle sound of a water feature.
Adding even more versatility is a separate garden studio positioned at the rear of the block. Complete with its own kitchenette/laundry, bathroom, living space and bedroom, it offers endless possibilities, whether as guest accommodation, a private workspace, creative studio or teen retreat.
All of this is positioned in one of Canberra's most sought-after Inner North pockets. Dickson's vibrant dining and shopping precinct is just moments away, along with the popular Ainslie shops, local schools and green open spaces. The Dickson wetlands, playing fields and the walking trails of Mount Ainslie are all nearby, while Braddon, the ANU and the Canberra CBD are only minutes from your door.
Offering charm, flexibility and an exceptional lifestyle location, this is a home that captures the very best of Inner North living.
