Elevated in the leafy heights of North Lyneham, this distinguished residence embodies the elegance of the Colonial Revival era with a refined modern transformation. Set on a sprawling 1084m2 block with views across the bush capital to Mount Majura, the home offers rare scale, warmth and architectural presence. A property that feels both classic and contemporary in equal measure.
Originally built in 1988 and since beautifully renovated, the home now delivers over 287m2 of internal living, complemented by a 48m2 double garage and a substantial backyard studio. Every room reflects thoughtful design, layered textures and enduring quality.
The ground floor is all about connection and comfort. Multiple living areas flow between formal and informal spaces, anchored by a stunning chef's kitchen featuring Neff appliances including a double oven, electric cooktop, pendant lighting and 40mm stone benchtops. The adjoining meals and dining areas open to a paved terrace framed by terraced gardens, perennial plantings and a thriving vegetable patch behind the studio. The main level also includes a guest bedroom with ensuite, a home theatre with projector, a downstairs family bathroom, a large laundry and a dedicated office with separate external access - perfect for those who meet clients at home.
Upstairs, the master suite is a retreat of scale and serenity, capturing mountain views and morning light. It features a large walk-in robe and a beautifully updated ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are all generous, including a large secondary bedroom created by combining two rooms, and a main bathroom and timeless finishes. The showstopper upstairs is the large double doors leading to a sizable balcony perched under the home's gable, a spot to sit and enjoy the view.
Throughout, the home has been upgraded for comfort and efficiency, with UPVC double-glazed windows and doors, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, upgraded insulation, and hybrid timber flooring downstairs with brand new carpet upstairs. Every bathroom has been renewed, and the character-rich timber staircase and formal entryway nod to the home's heritage roots.
The sense of scale continues beyond the main residence. Off the rear terrace, the detached 39m2 studio offers a multitude of uses, a gym, guest suite or creative space - with its own bathroom and skylight. Beneath it lies a remarkable 19m2 subterranean storage room, originally designed as a wine cellar.
Beautifully landscaped to make full use of its elevated block, the gardens are a mixture of native and European inspired with established Grevillea, Callistemon, Hebes & lavender, stone walls and terraced lawns. Both sides of the home offer gated access, allowing additional parking for trailers or boats. Every detail has been carefully maintained, presenting a home that feels both generous and refined.
North Lyneham is unique and tightly held. Known for its tree-lined streets, parkland surrounds and proximity to Inner North amenities. A short walk from local reserves and cycling trails, and just moments to Lyneham shops, Dickson, Braddon and the City, it delivers the lifestyle balance that makes this suburb so prized.
