A storybook red-brick façade with terracotta roof tiles and a white picket charm sets the tone for this beautifully reimagined O’Connor residence. Thoughtfully extended and tastefully renovated, this home effortlessly balances heritage character with modern liveability, creating a rare sanctuary in one of Canberra’s most loved inner north locations.
A thoughtfully designed floor plan connects the generous living areas, a modern kitchen, and a series of alfresco retreats - each space designed for comfort, flexibility, and family connection. The rear extension delivers a sumptuous parents’ wing complete with a kitchenette, rumpus, and ensuite - ideal for multigenerational living, a teenage retreat, or even a second income opportunity.
Perfectly positioned just steps from Lyneham shops and the iconic Tilley’s Café, this home captures the essence of Inner North living - where leafy streets, local cafés, and community meet effortless proximity to the city and ANU.
