This property is more than a home; it could be your new family estate.

Agent: Purnell, Will Peterson 0477 733 593

It would be a pleasure to wake up in this Lyneham home every morning, taking in the natural light from the patchwork of oversized windows, admiring the interesting textures of the walls, soaking in the free-standing egg-shaped bath and sipping coffee in the leafy gardens.

Set on a corner block of 1122 square metres, it’s also pleasingly private.

There’s a nature reserve at the end of the street, and central Canberra is just 10 minutes away – bliss.
