Inner North living : Reid home with period features & contemporary comforts

This is one of those beautiful examples of a home honouring its history without being bound by it. Built from Canberra red bricks and thoughtfully extended over time, the four-bedroom house retains the features that give period residences their enduring appeal, while introducing the comforts expected of contemporary family living.

Picture rails, decorative cornices, high timber-detailed ceilings and original doors and light switches remain proudly on display in the original part of the home, as do the columned portico, terracotta roof tiles and heritage detailing that create such a charming first impression.

Beyond, an extension blends seamlessly with the original architecture.

Warm spotted gum flooring carries through the living spaces, with separate formal and informal living areas. A skylight brings natural light into the renovated kitchen, where stone benchtops and an induction cooktop are complemented by a walk-in pantry and generous bench space.

In the main lounge, an electric fireplace is the feature, while ducted gas heating and heated towel rails in the bathrooms also keep things cosy.

The main bedroom, with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, enjoys privacy at the rear, while the remaining three bedrooms sit at the opposite end of the home. Both bathrooms have been renovated with floor-to-ceiling tiles and frameless showers.

Outside, a covered entertaining deck and paved courtyard provide multiple spaces in which to enjoy the manicured gardens, whose Japanese maples, camellias and established hedging create a fitting backdrop.

Surrounding area

In Reid, the city’s earliest planning ideals are still on full display in the heritage homes, wide verges and established gardens. But a hop, skip and jump away, Braddon’s cafes and boutiques are your locals. You’re spoiled for choice for your morning walk, being beautifully sandwiched between Lake Burley Griffin and Mount Ainslie.
