127 Majura Avenue, Dickson, ACT 2602 Gorgeous northerly aspect to the rear!

Brilliant location that places you within walking distance of everywhere!

An important part of the architecture of old Canberra, this two-storey semi-detached terrace house, is ideally placed, directly across from playing fields and North Ainslie Primary School. A lovely update pays homage to the buildings history has resulted in a delightful, protected haven right in the heart of the bustling inner-north. Sun-drenched and airy, the home opens onto an enormous north facing backyard with a mix of shady fruit trees and the distinction of a freestanding garden studio.

The original front door, set with stained glass in hues of pink, blue and green, opens onto a handy foyer with rows of wall hooks and a dedicated coat cupboard for hanging hats, bags and winter woollies.

The combined living and dining is all soft white walls, with glass sliders that spill to the private rear garden. Floating bamboo floors are golden underfoot and match perfectly with the newly installed shelving. There is enough space here for an array of comfy lounges, a table set for plenty and a corner office or library nook. The whole space openly merging to a sunny kitchen, creating the perfect hub for cooking family meals and day to day functionality. There is a nice array of white cabinetry, including a full-height pantry.

The kitchen expanding to embrace the extra storage within the adjacent laundry, where a two-drawer dishwasher in neatly housed beneath the worktop. Think untapped potential?butler's pantry, mudroom, spilling to the garden on the eastern side. There is also a separate toilet, so family and guests don't have to troop upstairs.

The second floor is accessed via a gorgeous stairwell, walled on one side in vintage panelled timber. From the top landing you can look through the high-set timber sash windows, taking in the treetops of Ainslie. There are three sequestered bedrooms, all with lovely northern views out and across the back garden. The master bedroom enjoying both northern and western orientations and opening to a Juliette balcony.

The family bathroom has been beautifully renovated, combining floor-to-ceiling tiling in cheerful aqua blue with earthy timber like floor tiles. There is a large floating vanity offering great storage, a relaxing bathtub and a luxurious step-in-rain shower.

A dotting of mature trees including pomegranate, apricot and mulberry gift shade and fresh produce, as a banksia rose greens the fence line. There is a relaxed combo of concrete for alfresco dining and lawn for the kids to play. To one side a terrific freestanding studio is all white walls and horizontal window onto nature. This is a flexible space, air-conditioned and double-glazed for thermal comfort, opening to the garden and fit for home office or creative hub.

The home is an easy stroll to Dickson Wetlands, Majura Sports Field and Ainslie Football club. Dutton Street Playground is not far and the endless walking trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve are close to home. It is not far to the much loved Ainslie shops for a relaxed pub meal or selection of great cheeses from the IGA. The updated Dickson precinct is whisper close, and it is not far to Braddon's vibrant scene for a cornucopia of independent eateries, bars and shops. The home is also close to transport including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
