Choosing a home usually means some form of compromise on space, location or design. However, 53 Tyson Street, a six-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Ainslie, blows that presumption out of the water.
Built and designed by an architect who intended to live in it, this family property shows the careful design choices and direction that one would put into making their own forever home.
“The designer made use of the space from indoor to outdoor. It was built for a large family, even a multi-generational family and with 1200 m2 of space, they had the room to do so,” LJ Hooker Belconnen agent Michael Wellsmore says.
“Just as an example, there’s a private guest room with an ensuite down one of the hallways, perfect for teenagers or older visitors. And there’s a study with an ensuite that could easily be converted into a bedroom.”
Even the living spaces are set up to allow for numerous people or groups of people to enjoy without stepping on each other’s toes.
“There are hidden cavity sliding doors in the rumpus room that can easily separate it from the living room. There’s obvious potential for grand-scale entertaining but each space can be segregated for privacy. The design is quite innovative in that sense,” Michael says.
The significant indoor entertaining space is served by the kitchen, which is a story in itself. It boasts a butler’s pantry, built-in fridge freezer, two hot plates (one gas, one electric), two ovens and two microwaves.
The entire layout of the home, especially the indoor communal areas, is centred around the alfresco courtyard and the cabana.
As if the indoor entertaining potential, with its formal and informal lounge area, large dining area and rumpus room with bar and wine area, wasn’t enough, the outdoor space adds a whole other dimension.
“The outdoor area has a lawn, space to lounge and of course, it has the cabana area. With a barbecue, fridge, fans and heaters, it’s a year-round space,” Michael says.
And of course, it’s all centred around the pool.
“The home, including the main suite’s balcony, is focused on the pool. Pools usually take a fair bit of management but this one is very easy, it’s self-cleaning, heated and there are even LED lights for use at night,” Michael says.
This home has obvious potential as an entertaining centre but it also offers privacy and peace in the inner north.
“The property was meticulously built for the user. Nothing has been neglected and the next owners will find everything done for them,” Michael says.
The main has a massive walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and a balcony with sliding glass doors overlooking the pool.
All the remaining bedrooms have either walk-in or built-in robes.
On a leafy street in the inner north suburb of Ainslie, with the best of the city a short drive away and the Ainslie shops within moments, the location is hard to beat.
“The home is about 500 m to Ainslie shops as well as Mt Ainslie and of course, the city is very close. You get the best of both worlds here,” Michael says.
The property has a five-car garage with an EV charging station and a gym space, wine cellar, a kitchen and bathroom in the cabana, extensive storage throughout and a separate laundry.
“53 Tyson Street is a real opportunity for a home of substance in the inner north, in a great location, built to a high standard,” Michael says.
“There’s nothing of the sort in the suburb – the amenities, the offerings, the finishes, it’s the best home in the area. I’m confident in saying that.”
