7 Gill Street, Lyneham, ACT 2602

You could splash on some paint and move straight in and enjoy the light-filled spaces, the big floor-up windows, and original brick hearth now set with a gas heater. Or plan your dream home - open to the north, ample tumbling light, master wing that communes with a newly planted garden. Either way, the home is a beautiful and inspiring canvas, brimming with soul and endless potential.

This charming three-bedder has an original spirit and sits proud on a large block right in the heart of the inner north. The red brick form and clean lines whisper of Canberra's architectural past - the classic ex-govie, now a cherished part of the landscape. No. 7 inspires the creative mind - think a bold re-imagining that fuses the old with the new, ushering this vintage beauty into the here and now.

Gill Street is super quiet and very well placed - walking distance to schools, shops, parks, and ovals. This is leafy Lyneham, famed for its eclectic mix of old and new homes, vibrant cafes, and inter-connecting shared bike and walking paths that wend through parks and wetlands all the way to Braddon and the CBD.

Historic blue spruce edge the driveway that ushers through wrought iron gates to a double metal garage that sits deep in the block. Four Winds is scrolled in flowing cursive, announcing your arrival, and decorative wrought iron edges the front porch. A lion head knocker graces the front door with sidelight and a welcoming foyer serves up a large coat cupboard.

Living and dining are arranged in a circular flow, culminating in the large kitchen which gazes across the northern garden. The kitchen is original and sits adjacent to the internal laundry, which has direct access to the garden. There are three good-sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes and signature large windows that frame leafy views. The bathroom has been renovated - floor-to-ceiling white tiling, large wall-hung vanity, and earthy floors.

The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to the independent eateries and bars of Lyneham shops, and the Braddon and Dickson precincts. The home is an easy stroll to the Old Canberra Inn, the iconic Tilley's and local schools. It is a short stroll to bus stops and a surrounding of green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, wetlands. The home is a stone's throw from the CBD and ANU.
