166 Dryandra Street

O'Connor ACT 2602

Masterfully crafted in the Dutch Colonial style in 1961 and lovingly updated for contemporary living, this treasured north-oriented home sits proudly on large, leafy verges overlooking the green expanse of O'Connor Ridge. Rich in romance, character, and family amenity, it embraces both the tranquillity of its bushland setting and the convenience of its inner-north location. The native gardens echo the surrounding reserve and welcome abundant birdlife, enhanced by thoughtful feature lighting that brings the grounds to life at night.

Freshly painted inside and out, the home reveals sunlit interiors enhanced by new engineered oak flooring and Magnetite double-glazed colonial windows, creating warmth, comfort, and energy efficiency throughout. The kitchen, meals, and family area form a welcoming open-plan hub, complemented by a renovated kitchen with quality appliances and an Ilve 900mm gas range. The adjoining living and dining spaces flow naturally to an east-facing outdoor entertaining area, beautifully positioned to capture morning light.

A childhood here promises adventure, exploring the nearby nature park, enjoying summers in the substantial solar-heated saltwater pool, or retreating to the cosy upstairs TV room. Festive gatherings begin in the elegant lounge with its bay window and decorative fireplace before spilling out to the terraces, pool, and leafy surrounds.

Accommodation includes four well-sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. Two ground-floor bedrooms enjoy garden outlooks and offer versatility, while upstairs, the owners' retreat captures serene views of Black Mountain. An added bonus is also a large attic above the garage providing generous storage. An excellent heating system and temperature control exists in this home with Hydronic heating, slab heating to the downstairs bathroom, and a Rinnai instantaneous hot water system to ensure year-round comfort.

Positioned on a coveted street within walking distance to GIO Stadium, and moments from O'Connor and Lyneham shops, Radford College, North Canberra Hospital and inner-north schools, this memorable home offers lifestyle, charm and family friendly functionality.
