The home graces the front of a shared block and sits behind pretty gardens, where alfresco living is arranged beneath a shady tree. And it is not just any tree, think the reaching arms of an old growth elm, forming a glorious, golden umbrella. Come winter the bare branches let the light tumble through, so you can laze deck side beneath the warming sun. A hedge forms a green wall and timber walls create a private garden room…a graceful welcome that makes you want to stop and linger on approach.
This gorgeous three-bedder has been thoughtfully renovated combining the old with the new with effortless grace. Dark hued bamboo floors flow underfoot and walls are painted soft white. Big windows welcome light from the north, east and west, gifting a gentle, golden illumination. The kitchen glows white in the sunshine and delivers a paired-back simplicity with a splash of honeycomb tiling, for intrigue and texture. The bathroom feels concordantly subtle, with its white wall tiles, earthy feature mosaics.
The form is classic O’Connor – weatherboard, terracotta roof, big windows. We love the scheme of basalt grey combined with crisp white trim. A driveway travels along the side, sweeping around to a carport nicely tucked away behind the home. There is a welcoming foyer with a linear timber shelf for precise display, while the quality of light and the white walls are perfect for colourful pops of art.
The front living combined dining is generous and relaxed with its big windows, screened by white timber venetians. There is a nice open flow to the modern kitchen where glass sliders spill to an airy, elevated deck. This warming suntrap is the place to be, coffee in hand as the sun rises in the distance. All three bedrooms serve-up a warm welcome with their soft carpeting and leafy views. Each room has excellent storage to keep things minimal, while bedroom three also retains vintage timber cabinetry in a nod to the past.
And the location is ideal – heart of the inner north, moments from parks and reserve, an easy stroll to the schools and cafés of old Lyneham. A stone’s throw from the Braddon hub, the ANU and the CBD. It is not far to Ainslie shops and the bustling Dickson Precinct. The home is handy to several schools, transport and shared bike and walking paths that meander beneath beautiful old trees, creating a tranquil village experience.
