Last Listing description (June 2019)
Situated in leafy, sleepy street in one of the Inner North's most sought-after areas, this elegant, established 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home will delight families large and small. A self-contained flat forms part of the residence, offering completely separate accommodation that's perfect for extended and multi-generational living.
Privately located behind a living screen of trees, and just a short stroll away from O'Connor Ridge, this property radiates a quiet, calm beauty of its own. Just walking into the house feels like walking into to a sanctuary - a peaceful haven away from the bustle of city living.
Strolling through the home, past the light-filled living and dining rooms bring you to the sun room. Sink into a comfy chair here, kick off your shoes and, cradling a fresh drink, watch the birds going about their business in the gorgeous back garden - and feel your stress drop away.
This home offers an ideal floor plan - the four bedrooms of the main residence, all with plenty of room for double beds, are separate from the living areas and look out over leafy treescapes. A very functional, updated kitchen, with heaps of bench and storage space, has a servery to the dining room and easy flow to the sun room - where breakfast with the birds is a must.
The flat has its own front door, hall storage, a sunny open living room and kitchen. The generous bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and the ensuite bathroom has plenty of space and a large shower. It could easily be adapted to suit any family members with mobility problems.
Sure to suit even the most discerning buyers, the property's raked ceilings, neutral decor and abundance of windows enhance the sense of space and light throughout. Continuously improved over the years by the current owners, the home now offers so many of the comforts vital for Canberra's climate, including skylights (with hail covers), awnings, hydronic heating, double-glazed windows in the main residence (apart from wet areas) and more.
A wide tiled verandah to the front creates a sweet alfresco nook to admire the shady front garden. At the back of the home the private established garden wraps itself around the lawn and trees and the patio provides an ideal spot to take in the back garden's glories and supervise the cooking on the wood-fired barbecue. A secure haven for play and entertaining, the back garden is fully fenced with gates at either side of the home and room for a trailer small boat or caravan. A double garage and additional off-street parking complete the picture.
Just a short distance to all the delights of Lyneham shopping centre, including the iconic Tilley's cafe, The Front Cafe and Gallery, Lyneham Primary School and Lyneham High School, just the other side of the oval. Close to main transport routes, Light Rail and the City, this is one of Lyneham's finest liveable, loveable homes. Be sure to inspect.
