A wide entry foyer with art-deco pendant, sets the scenewhile built-in cupboards provide seamless storage for coats and jackets. Double timber doors framing dimpled antique glass, lead to a spacious lounge room. Enormous windows capture the gorgeous tones of the garden; soft grey carpet, lemon walls and terracotta detailing, along with built-in wall unit and book shelves, gives a sense of eclectic warmth, artful harmony.

The adjacent dining room takes in calming views to rear deck and garden. There is easy flow to kitchen, extension, the generous deck and soft lawn. The extension is unapologetically modern while maintaining the relaxed, bohemian flair that characterises the entire home. Black pendants hang like sculptures within the void, bespoke cabinetry lines the length of the rear wall, providing an ideal home office, and high clerestory windows bless the space with daylight.

Large format, red tiled splashback, and banks of soft grey cabinetry, imbue the kitchen with both practicality and playfulness. Stone benchtops, induction cooktop and a butler's pantry with European laundry, furthers the experience of stylish functionality.

We love the original art deco, pink and black family bathroom and separate toilet, both with mosaic floor tiles, the pop of fresh green tiling to the modern ensuite and the verdant garden views from all four peaceful bedrooms. Two of three kid's rooms have built-in-storage, while the master enjoys a generous walk-through robe to bright ensuite. Bright honeycomb and roman blinds in the bedrooms provide comfort across Canberra's seasons.

The home sits across from Magpie Hill Park and is a few steps from O'Connor Ridge Reserve; it is an easy stride to Lyneham shops, home to the famous Tilley's and The Front caf. The bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts are close to hand and transport is at your doorstep. It is a mere 5 minutes to the ANU and the CBD by car.
