Overlooking the ancient Eucalypts of Magpie Hill, this impeccably maintained home offers versatile living in a premium pocket of Lyneham. The impressive property features a wealth of living space and unique potential, making it an ideal home for families or those seeking dual living options. With scope to personalise and make it your own, this is a home that will grow and adapt with you.
A large, country-style front verandah with lacework trim creates a pleasing first impression, overlooking neat cottage gardens and the parkland beyond. Inside, high ceilings throughout enhance the sense of space and tiled, easy-care floors add a touch of elegance. The formal lounge is light-filled, with picture windows framing the rose gardens and parkland. It flows to the casual living and dining zone, offering plenty of room for the family to spread out.
At the heart of the home is the huge, custom-designed kitchen, featuring ample storage with soft-close doors, a 900mm gas cooktop, under-bench oven, and a dishwasher. Overlooking the living spaces, and with direct access to the outdoor entertaining area, it's the perfect hub for busy family life.
The generously sized bedrooms - all with built-ins - are separately zoned from the living area for privacy. The main bedroom features a large private ensuite with a full-size bath, perfect for a long, quiet soak at the end of the day, and a massive walk-in robe that could be configured as a study or a fifth bedroom if desired. The remaining bedrooms share a full bathroom with a separate toilet, while a second guest powder room adds convenience.
The studio provides flexibility for independent multi-generational living, with separate access to bedroom three from the verandah, creating a self-contained zone. It features a kitchenette with electric cooking, sink, and dishwasher, a European laundry, and sliding door access to a private space on the rear patio. The removal of the kitchenette could transform the home into a genuine four-bedroom property if required.
Double-glazing throughout contributes to the home's impressive 6-star energy rating, while zoned, underfloor Hydronic heating and ducted evaporative cooling ensure year-round comfort.
A monster-sized double garage has room for extra storage and a workbench, with additional parking in the double driveway and a side parking slip.
Entertain in style on the large, covered patio, with access from both the living room and studio. There's plenty of room for a barbeque, or simply relax and enjoy the gardens, where vegetable beds provide fresh produce for your table, and the colourful plantings throughout the tiered garden create a spectacular display. Freshly painted concrete paths wrap around the house, complementing the gardens with a clean aesthetic.
Perfectly positioned across from Magpie Hill, a 3-hectare nature reserve home to a wide variety of remnant Eucalyptus trees, some over 100 years old. Maintained by the local 'Friends of Magpie Hill' group, it's a birdwatcher's paradise, whether you're strolling the hill or taking it all in from the verandah. Wrapped in natural surrounds, you'll feel away from the hustle and bustle, while still being only a minute's drive from the CBD and ANU. With schools, buses, local shops, and trendy cafes all within walking distance, this family-friendly location ticks every box.
This is a unique opportunity for spacious and versatile living in the tranquil, yet convenient suburb of Lyneham. Contact the office today for more information.
