26 Swainsona Street
O'connorAuction 9:30am Saturday 14 February

This soulful mid-century home occupies a big corner block right in the middle of leafy O’Connor. You can see the park from upstairs, where the second living area adjoins the fifth bedroom, opening to a deep balcony. Here northern light falls in dappled patterns through the Japanese maple and you can while away the hours suspended within the magic, wrap-around gardens.

The home serves up five-bedrooms and multiple living spaces, arrayed across two levels. Expressive and rich in material detail, the home delights with its mix of bespoke timber joinery. The kitchen is new and combines colour and texture with pops of gold. From here you can step straight outside and travel the garden journey – past the fishpond and along the travertine pathways, all the way around to wisteria draped patio and back into the airy living space.

The garden is full of shady trees and serves up a quaint potting shed and big storage rooms for all your tools and creative projects. Entry is via a private driveway that swings into a carport and a separate parking bay. We love the impressive front portico, lined with neat baton work and the open pergola eves that shelter the front windows.

There is a welcoming foyer and beautiful light streams through the big windows at the back of the home. The large dining room has enough space to arrange comfy chairs around the slow combustion fireplace and there is a nice open flow into the sweeping living area beyond. Bespoke cabinetry lines one wall and sliders open wide to the garden and the patio striped with shade via the vine twined pergola above.

Clever design makes use of every inch of space within the delightful new kitchen. Cabinetry in crisp white and contrasting blue delivers plenty of storage, including a European laundry tucked away to one side. Twin pendants softly illuminate the area, the sink and dishwasher sit beneath the big window looking over the garden.

A hallway takes you to three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bathtub and separate toilet. The master bedroom opens onto the garden, is sequestered on the northern side of the home and serves up great storage and a gorgeous ensuite with twin basins, white mosaic tiling and pops of warm timber.

Timber stairs take you to the second living area, a lofty space with raked timber ceilings and large windows. You can see Mt Majura from here, relax in northern light and enjoy a quiet remove from the life unfolding downstairs. The fifth bedroom is also a peaceful space, large enough for a single bed and a study nook. This sweet room is light and airy, the open doors and floating balcony, creating the feel of a secret tree house.

Swainsona is a sought-after, leafy street, moments from O’Connor Ridge and Lambert Place Playground. The home is an easy stroll to the schools and shops of Lyneham and the famous Tilley’s Divine Café and Gallery. The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to a lively mix of independent cafes, restaurants, and shops while ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, and beautiful street trees create a tranquil village experience just a stone’s throw from the CBD and ANU.
