Tucked away in a private and quiet position!

This relaxing two-bedroom home is privately placed at the rear of a dual occupancy block, accessed via a long driveway, edged on both sides with green hedging. It is a lovely fusion of the past and present, the form embracing all the innovation of the mid-century era – open plan, raked ceilings, timber accents and a wonderful connection to the landscape. It all falls in line with the gorgeous character of O’Connor, its mix of vintage and contemporary builds combined with the grace of age-old trees and the edgy vibrancy of modern, foody and shopping options.

Inside light ceramic floors flow under foot, walls are the painted concordant white, while high ceilings add an airy depth. The windows reach upward from the floor and are framed in golden timber and there is the pleasure of art deco cornices. We love the front door, with its twin sidelights and the pause of the welcoming foyer, its fixed cabinet perfect for putting away shoes, dumping keys and gear.

The living, dining and kitchen is open and conversational, spilling to both the north and west, where decking traverses the home and walls of green hedges provide a leafy outlook. The kitchen is delicately appointed in crisp white, with linear chrome cabinet handles and midnight black worktops. The central island bench is both a focal point, practical workspace and friendly spot to gather. Quality appliances including a dishwasher make life easy so you can focus on time with family and friends. Think an easy merge from inside to out, a relaxed summer lifestyle with long lunches on the sail sheltered deck.

The south-eastern side of the home is given over to two large bedrooms, both with built-in-robes for seamless storage. Bedroom two enjoys direct access to the two-way-family bathroom which can also be accessed via the kitchen. Here a big vanity stretches the full length of the wall serving up the convenience of twin basins. Crisp white tiling coalesces with concordant notes of soft grey and there is a nice connection to an internal laundry that opens onto the garden.

Hovea is a sought-after, leafy street surrounded by green spaces traversed with shared walking and biking trails, shaded by age-old trees. The home is handy to both Lyneham and O’Connor Village shops with their mix of cafes and great places to eat, with a local classic being the famous Tilley’s Divine Café and Gallery. The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to the dynamic hubs of Dickson and Braddon, while wetlands, parks and reserve deliver a tranquil, natural immersion. The home is handy to a mix of great schools, close to transport and it is just moments to the CBD and ANU.
