21 Brigalow Street, O'Connor, ACT 2602

Beautiful home surrounded by greenery, it's picture perfect!

Filled with warmth and generosity, this beautifully extended and renovated family home has a special feeling …  solid brick, built to last, held and softened by dreamy gardens. Within a restrained palette of creamy neutrals and soft pastels, combined with warm timber joinery, it exudes a welcoming balance of sunlit spaces.

Neatly clipped hedging, a cornucopia of leafy trees, climbing vines, flowering camellias, a central garden path and deep front porch, create the perfect entry. The welcoming front door flanked by twin sidelights opens into a broad hallway that separates the two intimate zones. 

At the rear of the home, a thoughtful extension has doubled down on size, creating a sweeping open plan kitchen, family and dining, sun drenched and tranquil. Extensive worktops meet the white tiled splashback, as endless storage, including a walk-in-pantry,  is tailor made for robust family living and effortless entertaining. An island bench provides ample seating so the chef of the home can chat away with the family and guests. The whole space perfectly connects to the surrounding picturesque gardens, merging to the superb outdoor area and a calming, leafy aspect.

The second living area sets a cosier tone where its home library meets a relaxed living vibe, all informed by the intimate enclosure of a secluded, walled courtyard. This spacious room maintains an open connection with the kitchen, while feeling intimate and restful. Think evening sojourn, drink in hand, glass sliders open to sweet, scented breezes as the light fades. 

On one side is the master suite with a secluded garden aspect, walk-in-robe and crisp white ensuite. And on the other, three good sized bedrooms that connect to a family bathroom with a bathtub and separate toilet.

Stone retaining walls create a platform of green lawn, edged by an abundance of beautiful plantings, including a myriad of fruiting trees. In one corner a greenhouse encloses high garden beds, in red recycled brick, perfect for nurturing fresh kitchen bounties. The huge brick garage looks every bit at home on one side, with its awning and peaked roof to match the house in Colorbond Manor Red. The home's original name plate proudly adorns one wall – "Ingleside."

This gorgeous home is ideally placed, a few steps from Lyneham shops and the famous Tilley's Devine Café Gallery. A great choice of primary schools and the high school are close at hand. 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 short drive from the CBD and ANU.
