“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. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area commands the home’s first floor, with touches of original flair blended into the home’s modern style.An exposed steel beam and painted brick wall are married with new Australian hardwood flooring, natural sheers and raw maple batten work around the stairwell.<img alt="87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565-image-0-20230615043146855860-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_Xp1RTrT.jpg" width="800">The galley kitchen overlooks the living and dining spaces and is replete with modern touches, including a pull-out mixer, under-cabinet lighting with dimmable touch control, banks of soft-touch cabinetry, acrylic solid surface benchtops, crisp subway tiling and custom joinery. The features are all set to a sleek white-on-white palette contrasted by black tapware.The kitchen is decked out in quality Bosch and Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, including a pyrolytic oven, a second oven with microwave function, an induction cooktop, a fully integrated dishwasher and an integrated rangehood with touch control.<img alt="87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565-image-0-20230615043150055660-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_lgECijX.jpg" width="800">Also tucked away downstairs is an adjoined laundry and bathroom, with underfloor heating, a long acrylic solid surface benchtop, outdoor portico access and lots of storage.“They’ve put a lot of storage areas into the home and they’ve made it functional,” Jenny says.“It’s just very cleverly done and cleverly thought out.”Upstairs are the home’s three bedrooms, all kitted out with Australian wool carpets, northern views across the back lawn and more clever built-in cabinetry.<img alt="87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565-image-0-20230615043147359027-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_uexovAI.jpg" width="800">You’ll also find the second bathroom, styled with neutral floor-to-ceiling tiling, on the first floor. It is home to a freestanding tub, warm timber cabinetry, matte black hardware and, of course, underfloor heating.But nothing beats the master suite, which opens onto a private balcony overlooking the streetscape, tempting families across the road to Lyneham shops, including Canberra institution <a href="https://the-riotact.com/five-minutes-with-paulie-higgisson-tilleys-cafe/668188" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tilley’s Devine Café Gallery</a>, The Front café and more.<img alt="87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565-image-0-20230615043152859983-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_pYmJ7El.jpg" width="800">“It’s a buzzing area,” Jenny says.“You can get your morning coffee or pop over there in the afternoon for a drink and a bite to eat.”Your car is safe in the home’s Monument Colorbond garage, while a quick drive out the gated driveway and up the orad you&#x27;ll find the independent eateries and bars of O’Connor shops, the Braddon and Dickson precincts, parks and ovals, shared walking and biking trails, O’Connor Ridge Reserve, plus a primary and high school, and public transport.The home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">87 Brigalow Street</a> in Lyneham is listed for sale at $1.3 million plus.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/87-brigalow-street-lyneham-act-2602-81565/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/contemporary-sydney-terrace-style-living-in-the-heart-of-canberras-inner-north/674417" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.

The classic Canberra duplex doesn't come much better than this

If you slept over at Nonna or Yiayia’s house a lot as a child (and let’s be honest, most Canberrans did) you’ll remember that your grandmother’s home had some very distinctive features. She loved wooden everything, brick archways, custom cabinetry, and her interior decorating skills included mounting an array of religious trinkets on the walls.<img alt="21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-image-0-20230204061631245455-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-.width-800.jpg" width="800">So <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this home, currenty for sale in north Lyneham</a>, is more than a little unusual: it’s basically Nonna and Yiayia on steroids. It has a swimming pool instead of a chook yard. And a sauna instead of a fruit cellar. It’s like Nonna or Yiayia won the lotto and turned their little piece of north Canberra into a luxury retreat.<img alt="21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-image-0-20230205034637477343-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-.width-800_Kzc13fN.jpg" width="800">Ray White Canberra real estate agent Maree Van Arkel says the Lyneham home “could never be recreated”. Located on a 1220sqm block, it was built in 1987 by an Italian family – so it belonged to a Nonna, not a Yiayia – and has had two owners since.<img alt="21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-image-0-20230204061633292784-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-.width-800_B8ZxA9I.jpg" width="800">Each owner has renovated or upgraded sections of the home to make it “theirs”, so while some original features remain intact (The kitchen! The shower screen!) some serious upgrades have taken place, including a beautiful pergola with built-in barbecue and a rumpus area with games room and bar.<img alt="21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-image-0-20230204061636203824-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-.width-800_g1OFcSf.jpg" width="800">The current owners are downsizing and hoping to pass on the unique six-bedroom property to a big family.“It’s certainly a very distinctive house,” Maree says.“People coming through are in awe of its size, and all the features that add up to an offering you just won’t find anywhere else.”<img alt="21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-image-0-20230204061636512316-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-.width-800_a8V0nNt.jpg" width="800">According to Maree, the property’s unusual floorplan means the home has three potential self-contained areas. She says the new owners could rent out or Airbnb sections of the home.The triple garage has automatic doors and offers internal entry to the property. And then there are the views.<img alt="21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-image-0-20230205034635855318-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576-.width-800_xvqUwu3.jpg" width="800">“It backs onto a reserve and the views across Canberra are just stunning,” Maree says.“It makes you want to sit outside for hours on the huge balcony and take it all in.”Number 21 Salkauskas Crescent, Lyneham, goes to auction at 11.45am on Saturday 25 February 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21-salkauskas-crescent-lyneham-act-2602-74576/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

This Nonna/Yiayia house in Lyneham has had some serious luxury upgrades

You only have to take a walk along the mature, tree-lined Longstaff Street to know exactly which part of Canberra you’ve landed in.The home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/50-longstaff-street-lyneham-act-2602-43787/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">50 Longstaff Street</a>, Lyneham, is a quintessential, cool, Inner North home that’s absolutely bursting with personality and enduring style.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v27.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_lLycxtl.jpg" width="800">Deep orange bricks and expansive windows pay testament to the history of the area, while the current owners, who are both designers by trade, have carefully curated the home down to the tiniest of details.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/ash-costello/">Ash Costello</a> says there is simply so much about this home to love.“I love the way the owners have stayed true to the original charm and character while bringing in modern tones.“It’s been tastefully designed and thoughtfully curated. You can really tell that it’s a home that has been loved,” she said.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v24.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_nANHobx.jpg" width="800">A highlight for Ash is the open-plan kitchen and lounge room which is north-east facing, and filled with light.The stunning, moody-toned vintage kitchen is the perfect place to stop and create culinary wonders with your fresh produce – likely collected from local farmers markets.Distressed, navy blue cupboards pair effortlessly with a dark wooden benchtop and large butler’s sink while a small gold panel is the perfect element to bring it all together.“I think the mood and character of the home have been really well captured by renowned local photographer Lean Timms,” Ash added.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v23.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_2YI6wgn.jpg" width="800">It’s easy to imagine sitting comfortably in one of your many intimate living spaces, curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.In terms of relaxing, you’re spoiled for choice with a large light-filled segregated lounge room, as well as the aforementioned open-plan family room with a stunning, vintage wood burner.With two fully equipped studios, Ash says there’s no excuse to put off that project you’ve been meaning to start, or you could simply enjoy family time in the mature, large garden. While large, the garden is most definitely low-maintenance, with veggie gardens, a mature olive tree and a greenhouse so you can live out your idyllic, organic dreams.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v25.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_1HO3CcD.jpg" width="800">Each of the three generously sized bedrooms has built-in robes and are equally light and airy, with large windows providing a beautiful glimpse of greenery outdoors.“It’s not just a standard three-bedroom home; you’ve really got those layers of liveability,” Ash explained.Another fantastic benefit of this home is that it does provide the possibility of growing or extending if necessary in the future.The Inner North and Lyneham, in particular, is most definitely the place to be at the moment – with bustling local shops acting as a vibrant hub for locals.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v22.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_egebjqf.jpg" width="800">According to Ash, it’s a growing area with lots of young families where you’ll find your community – whether that’s relaxing with a coffee at Tilley’s on a weekend morning before walking the dog along the leafy streets or visiting the Farmers Markets.Despite its sentimental charm, Lyneham is also up and coming, with the light rail now connecting it to the city and elevating its position. The hassle will well and truly be taken out of your daily commute as the ease of bike, scooter, or light rail access into town is unrivalled.It’s easy to imagine kids growing up, riding their bikes along the bike lanes to school, walking to friends’ houses in the afternoons, playing at the Magpie Hill Park and swimming at Dickson Pool on hot, lazy summer days.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v26.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_d5GdwbP.jpg" width="800">“We have had quite a lot of interest already, and I’m looking forward to taking it to auction next weekend,” Ash said.To arrange an inspection of the eclectic <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/50-longstaff-street-lyneham-act-2602-43787/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">50 Longstaff Street</a> in Lyneham, call <a href="/agents/ash-costello/">Ash Costello</a> on 0402 718 359 or <a href="/agents/sally-strang/">Sally Strang</a> on 0410 626 731.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/feel-all-the-cool-eclectic-vibes-at-this-quintessential-inner-north-abode/474818" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>
