Lyneham ACT 2602

We love the concrete porticos that shelter the entryway, the simple white wall sconces and soft green doors. A small foyer gives access to No.5, the entry door opening onto a glowing living, dining and kitchen. Easy-care timber laminate flooring flows underfoot and walls are painted a soothing warm neutral. Large windows look east, framing the granite avenue, its elegant Corton steel circles and bowing eucalyptus cinerea. Large slabs of sandstone sit among a mix of native grasses and ground covers, so you can wander outside and sit amidst the silvery foliage.

The kitchen is all shimmer and texture, as a pressed coppery splash back meets speckled counter tops that mimic natural stone. There is lots of storage, including a full-height pantry and a one-drawer dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel. A large window frames the common garden to the rear, with its stretch of soft grass, rose bushes and dotting of flowering plum trees.

The adjacent bedroom shares the same blessing of eastern light, the large window also framing the deep gardens, the arching oak trees. There is a built-in-robe for seamless storage and an adjoining renovated bathroom, finished in crisp white tiling with notes of warm brown and a delicate ribbon of mosaics. A covered carpark is included and there is a convenient communal laundry.

The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to the independent eateries and bars of O'Connor shops, and the Braddon and Dickson precincts. The home is also just few steps from Lyneham shops and the iconic Tilley's for long brunches and the occasional live Jazz on Saturday evenings and The Front for great coffee. The Diamond Way Buddhist centre is also close to hand, as is the primary and high school. Ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, wetlands, and beautiful street trees create a tranquil village experience, just a stone's throw from the CBD and ANU.
