Considered updates inspire living with timeless Scandi appeal. Full of light, the home is a joyful sanctuary. Ideally placed in the heart of the inner north, this lovely apartment places you just moments from Lyneham shops, handy to the Braddon precinct and the CBD and surrounded by the scenic walking and biking trails that wend their way through connecting parks and green belts.
This gorgeous two-bedder feels clean and contemporary while still maintaining its vintage soul. Fresh white washed walls, honeyed timber floors coalesce with the simple charm of high ceilings, textured masonry walls, original mosaic tiling. Large windows welcome the sunshine, the epic surrounding landscape heightened by the paired-back materiality. We love the use of blue within the all-white kitchen, and the warm timber worktops that ground the space. There are banks of storage and a moveable island with under counter shelving for recipe books, pots and pans.
The master bedroom opens to a Juliet balcony and has floating shelves for curated display and a large built-in-robe. The second bedroom also has a built-in-robe and is large enough to accommodate a desk beneath the window.
The building itself speaking of yester year, with its patinaed brass railings, joyful concentric circles, open air foyer and stairwell. The old world charm of the brick buildings rising from swells of soft green lawn, dottings of mature trees, golden groves of wattle.
Wattle is a leafy street that runs past Lyneham shops, Wattle Park and up to O'Connor Ridge Reserve. Local Lyneham favourites include the iconic Tilley's for long brunches and live music and The Front for great coffee and Book Lore for that great, next read. It is an easy stroll to Lyneham primary and high school and not far to the independent eateries and bars of O'Connor shops, and the Braddon and Dickson precincts. 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.
