Last Listing description (December 2017)
A leafy canopy of oak trees creates an attractive streetscape for this north facing, beautifully renovated, double brick home. Creativity and attention to detail feature throughout, as well as the highest quality finishes. Full length cedar windows, neat paving and a charming pitched roof over the front porch and carport, all add to the excellent street appeal. The base of exterior walls features interesting stone work. Feathery foliage screens the landscaped front garden.
A new cedar front door with glass side panels opens to the spacious, light filled entry and hallway. The home has been freshly decorated in a contemporary white tone and quality sisal carpet is laid throughout. Stepping into the north facing lounge and dining area, your attention is drawn to the stylish bay window, which takes in the private outlook. During the winter months sunlight will pour in, while a gas log fire adds ambience in the evenings. A reverse cycle air conditioner, as well as ducted gas heating, guarantee year round comfort.
A Velux skylight adds plenty of natural light and air in the updated kitchen, which features an upright stove with gas cooktop, a corner pantry and LED downlighting. The adjacent laundry, refurbished at the same time as the kitchen, is surprisingly large and has good storage.
The wide entry flows through to an identical glass and cedar door at the rear of the home, which opens onto an elevated timber deck. This superb entertaining area is totally screened by a neat hedge and overlooks the private, easy care rear garden. Covered with a pergola and roofing, it offers a shady sanctuary, from where you can enjoy the summer rain.
Full length windows in front bedrooms frame the garden outlook. The spacious master has a timber ceiling fan and all three bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes. The renovated bathroom has a separate w/c. Both have large cedar window frames.
The paved driveway extends from the front garden through the carport, to a large shed and around to the rear deck.
The brilliant central location is just metres to vibrant Lyneham shops, which includes Tilley's and other restaurants, a supermarket and a doctor's surgery. Bus transport is at the door. Many well regarded schools are nearby and it is only a short distance to the ANU, CSIRO and the City centre. This is a home you are sure to fall in love with, in a peaceful and scenic inner north location!
