23/20 Oliver Street, Lyneham, ACT 2602

Easy care living and a place you can just move into and enjoy!

This lovely vintage apartment has been beautifully updated, introducing bespoke storage and brilliant pops of red. Large glazing's create a feeling of openness and there is a wonderful connection to courtyard gardens at both ends of the home.

The home is tucked away within the popular development known as The Pines. This little enclave feels gorgeously private, despite being moments from Dickson, Lyneham Village shops, minutes from the Braddon hub and the CBD. There is a surrounding of parks, ovals and wetlands, a myriad of walking and biking paths and a cornucopia of exciting cultural and foodie offerings.

The brush fencing is new, opening onto a landscaped garden, perfectly curated for easy gatherings with friends. The deck is sheltered by an arching umbrella and strappy grasses add to the organic simplicity.

The spacious open plan is nicely delineated – tiling creates an area for dining and soft carpet delivers cosy living. Custom shelving and cabinetry lines the walls, delivering wonderful storage. Think home library, display of favourite handcrafted items and the luxury of space to tuck away a myriad of items. There is the always peaceful connection to nature and a lovely open, convivial vibe.

In one corner, the kitchen at first glance gleams white, then dramatically unveils a bold drenching of red. We love the seductive addition of rich colour saturation, set against the original warm brick walls, bringing life to the workspace. There is staggered open shelving for more display, lots of cabinets and sleek modern appliances, including a dishwasher.

Both peaceful bedrooms are arranged to frame the second courtyard, that stretches across the full width of the home. The master bedroom opens directly onto this private space, with its high garden walls, raised vegetable beds and handy storage cupboard. The family bathroom is finished in crisp white tiles with a feature and artful twirl of glass mosaics in vibrant hues. There is a relaxing bathtub and a seamless European laundry.

The light rail is at your doorstep whisking you easily to the CBD and the metro city station connecting you to the whole of Canberra. Ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, wetlands, and established street trees create a tranquil village experience in the heart of the city.
