Those seeking something a bit different in the inner north should pay a visit to this cute character-filled house.

Set on a quiet loop street in the popular North Lyneham neighbourhood, the architect-designed property ticks all the boxes when it comes to style and location.

From the colourful courtyard gardens to the light and airy living spaces, it’s a home that is set to charm from the moment you step through the doors.

A defined entry foyer at the front of the house unfolds to reveal a large living area with double-height cathedral ceilings and an abundance of natural light.

It boasts a clean, crisp colour scheme, peppered with classic architectural details that add interest to every corner.

The slow combustion fireplace to one side of the living room will be put to good use during those chilly Canberra winters. It also adds character.

French doors line the northern side of the living area, capturing sunlight and inviting the cottage gardens into the home.

They open onto the covered alfresco area surrounded by low-maintenance garden beds.

This sunny oasis is screened by high walls and offers a peaceful setting for a quiet coffee in the morning or alfresco dining.

A galley kitchen overlooks the living room and is well equipped for catering. It has ample bench space, lots of cupboards and a seamless flow to indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces.

There are two spacious bedrooms at the rear of the home and both have built-in wardrobes and timber sash windows.

The master bedroom is by the renovated bathroom and also has french doors opening to the courtyard.

The secondary bedroom is the same size and next to the combined laundry-powder room.

A multipurpose loft lends itself to use as an additional bedroom, an office, extra storage or a studio.

It is split into two distinct spaces; a study with a built-in desk and a rumpus room with plenty of cupboards.

The property has a single lock-up garage with remote access.

From this peaceful pocket of the inner north, you’re within easy reach of good schools, universities, Belconnen and the city.

The bustling restaurant precinct of Dickson is also nearby and North Lyneham’s proximity to Northbourne Avenue and Ginninderra Drive will make short work of that morning commute.

Feature we love The lofted ceilings, french doors, fireplace and sunny courtyard give the home its charm.
