Concentric circles inform the open foyer, welcoming a halo of light and drawing the eye upward. We love the brass balustrade, the open-air feel and the elevated views of the surrounding parklands that reveal themselves as you ascend to the third and top level.

This lovely two-bedder brims with a simple, vintage charm that speaks of yesteryear. Mosaic tiles, raw brick walls and hardwood timber floors are a delight, illuminated by large windows that capture elegant tree lined vistas. Ideally placed in the heart of the inner north, the home is moments from Lyneham shops, handy to the Braddon precinct and the CBD and surrounded by the scenic walking and biking trails that wend their way through connecting parks and green belts.

The brick buildings of Cotter Court rise from swells of soft green lawn and dotting's of mature trees. Privatised by high hedges and backing parkland, this small development is a peaceful enclave despite its inner- city locale. In a nod to the Wattle Street address, the pathways are lined with wattle trees in full golden bloom, ushering to the sunny central foyer with its ribbons of glass and sweet central stone garden.

Within timber floors gleam underfoot as a welcoming foyer provides a place to hang winter coats and woollies. There is an original bathroom combined laundry to the left, finished in mosaic floor tiling. Beyond the open kitchen and living area is informed by nature, as large windows capture treetop views. The kitchen is finished in soft white with an original stainless sink, freestanding stove and Bosch dishwasher.

High shelving lines the hallway providing clever book storage, ushering to a duo of bedrooms, both informed by light and aspect. The master bedroom opens to a Juliet balcony and there is a large timber built-in-robe. The second bedroom is all golden light and both rooms have a genteel and private air, despite the large glazing's that champion an open connection with the beauty of the parkland surrounds.

Wattle is a leafy street that runs past Lyneham shops, Wattle Park and up to O'Connor Ridge Reserve. Local Lyneham favourites include the iconic Tilley's for long brunches and live music and The Front for great coffee. It is an easy stroll to Lyneham primary and high school. The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to the independent eateries and bars of O'Connor shops, and the Braddon and Dickson precincts. Ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, wetlands, and beautiful street trees create a tranquil village experience, just a stone's throw from the CBD and ANU.
