A neutral colour scheme, light-filled living spaces and leafy surrounds provide the perfect canvas for homeowners to add their own personality.

A walk through this charming three-bedroom property in Ainslie shows just what can be done with a crisp white backdrop and the good bones of an original home.

The dual occupancy is immediately inviting with richly planted gardens leading the way to the front door.

It opens to reveal a light and airy living room accentuated with traditional features. The sash windows and open brick fireplace have been painted white and they provide a simple, yet striking, contrast to the polished timber floorboards.

The new owners would do well to take inspiration from how the vendors have styled the house – the living room is punctuated with pops of colour, which creates a relaxed, welcoming ambience. However, the simplicity of the space would lend itself to any style.

Large windows invite the leafy gardens into the home and capture plenty of natural light.

The timber floors lead the way to the kitchen where the neutral colour palette continues. It features ample bench space, electric cooking and it overlooks the rear yard.

There are three bedrooms and two include built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom has an en suite, while the other two are serviced by the main bathroom complete with tub.

The tranquil courtyard gardens have been fully landscaped, offering the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining.

Car accommodation is provided by a double carport and ample off-street parking.

Other features include built-in lockable storage in the carport, ducted gas heating and garden views from every room.

Set on a peaceful street in the sought-after suburb of Ainslie, the property enjoys both bushland and city conveniences.

The popular Ainslie shops are just a short stroll away, while the city, Braddon, Dickson and the Mount Majura Nature Reserve are all easily accessible.

The current owners are an artistic couple who have loved living in Ainslie. They are staying in the inner north suburb but have decided to upsize to a larger property that will give them more space for their creative pursuits.

FEATURE WE LOVE The house offers a blank canvas opportunity, but it’s a blank canvas with charm. We love the character features including the sash windows, open fireplace and original floorboards.
