“The owners are meticulous and they wanted to restore an iconic building into something quite special, which they’ve really done,” Jenny says.“Everything had to be redone, so they&#x27;ve taken out walls, and in doing so, they’ve created more space to suit a wide range of buyers.”Jenny says her favourite part is walking through the living and dining room’s bi-folding, stacking aluminium doors and out into the yard.“With most duplexes, your exit is out through the laundry, so to create that living and dining space to the outdoors, it’s just fantastic,” she says.“You can see the kids play through those bi-fold doors, so it does give you a level of comfort that the kids can run around and you can still watch them.”<img alt="87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565-image-0-20230615043145320092-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">Monument Colorbond frames the spacious backyard, which features new landscaping, turfed lawns and a deck, allowing for indoor entertaining to spill effortlessly outside.But the hub of the home lies inside.
