Positioned in one of Lyons' most elevated and tightly held pockets, this exceptional family home backs directly onto Oakey Hill Nature Reserve and offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and beautifully considered design. Set on a generous 1,286m² block, the home delivers warmth, flow, and functionality, with landscaped gardens and uninterrupted views adding to the appeal.
Beautifully presented and maintained, the home offers a commanding street presence and an interior filled with natural light. From the front entry, formal living and dining areas offer elegant spaces for entertaining, while the open plan family and meals area at the rear is perfect for relaxed family living.
The kitchen has been designed with both form and function in mind, featuring an abundance of bench space, a peninsula-style layout ideal for casual meals or gatherings, and quality appliances including an Artisan electric oven and gas cooktop. Every element has been considered to support busy family living, including a large laundry with generous storage and direct outdoor access.
Upstairs, the main bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with wardrobes and an ensuite that looks out to Oakey Hill. A versatile parent's lounge or sitting area, currently used as a work-from-home office, completes the upper level. On the ground floor, three additional bedrooms include built-in robes and are serviced by a stylish main bathroom that features a bath, shower, and underfloor heating.
The family room includes built-in cabinetry with a lit display area, adding both functionality and a touch of refinement. A 5,000-litre rainwater tank is discreetly located under the front deck and is connected to a pump with two tap locations, providing convenience for garden care.
This home is tailored for comfortable family living with space to relax and grow. A rear gate opens directly onto Oakey Hill Reserve, offering immediate access to scenic walking trails and peaceful bush surrounds. The location is equally convenient, with Lyons Shops, local cafes, and public transport just a short walk away. The home is also close to sought-after schools including Marist College, and is only minutes from Woden Town Centre, Canberra Hospital, and the future Woden Valley Light Rail stop.
