A simple declutter was all vendors Richard Webb and Delia Rickard needed to do to make their four-bedroom house in Ainslie shine.

“The most important thing to do was present its features as cleanly and simply as possible,” Richard says.

“Our house has always had a lot of colour. All that we’ve done is create a little more space by removing a large number of our books and possessions from our house.”

The couple have owned the 90-year-old home since 1986 and it has been treated to a seamless extension, with its original architectural details retained.

“People often find it difficult to find where the old house ends and the new house starts,” Richard says.

Architect Nino Bellantonio created light-filled living spaces within the heritage-listed home. A gorgeous library area with full-height bookshelves and skylights is a standout feature.

The open-plan design gives the home its flexibility, while glass doors open the family room out to the deck and invite the outside in.

Other additions include ducted gas heating, solar hot water and photovoltaic panels.

The home is positioned within the heritage-listed Corroborree Park precinct, just a short stroll from Braddon and the city.

INSPECT: Saturday, 10.45am-11.30am
