5/1 Cowper Street, Ainslie, ACT 2602

There is a delight of spaces, differing in mood and perfect for both connection and relaxed repose. The open kitchen combined dining spilling to the ultimate outdoor arena, sheltered from the elements, protected and informed by lush green walls. While the adjacent family room drifts to a lush and leafy rear garden, with soft lawns that wrap around the corner of the home.

This gorgeous three-bedroom townhouse is arrayed across two levels, embraces the outdoors and is quite the relaxed entertainer. A thoughtful renovation has doubled down on elegance, as a palette of timeless greys, crisp whites, meet a continuous threading of warm stone and Moroccan mosaics.

Informing it all is an ideal lifestyle, steeped in tree dappled picturesque village feels, coupled with urban dynamism. Pedestrian entry is via shared parkland, enclosed by green walls and dotted with leafy trees creating a tranquil and private enclave. There is also a double garage with the convenience of auto-doors. The home deeply peaceful while being just moments from the happenings of the Braddon hub, and an easy stroll to the CBD.

The open plan kitchen and meals is designed to allow conversations to flow, the whole social arena opening fully to pavilion living, with plenty of room for dining and lounging. Stone worktops, floating central island, black pendant lighting come together in sophisticated elegance. We love the simple monochromatic theme, the Hampton style cabinetry, banks of soft closing drawers and sleek appliances from Westinghouse. And the adjacent, sweeping living area, with glass sliders that welcome the garden within. The ground floor complete with a pretty laundry/mudroom and a renovated powder room, so nobody has to traipse upstairs.

Soft carpet flows underfoot, upstairs given over to a cosy intimate wing that houses three welcoming bedrooms. The master bedroom spills to balcony, so you can step outside and float amidst the landscape. There is a walk-in-robe with custom shelving and an ensuite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms with excellent storage centre around a beautiful family bathroom with corner spa bath. Both bathrooms are finished to perfection, with floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white, patterned geometric mosaic floors and wall hung vanities with stone countertops.

The home is within walking distance of the much loved Ainslie shops, home to Edgar's gastro pub, the award-winning IGA and hatted Pilot restaurant. Moments from the independent restaurants and bars of the Dickson and Braddon precincts, a stone's throw from the city, the location is highly sublime. Many of Canberra's best schools are at your doorstop and the ANU is not far. The home is close to transport, including the light rail which whisks you straight to the CBD.
