5 Lambert Street, Lyneham, ACT 2602

Private, peaceful setting in the heart of Lyneham!

This gorgeous four-bedroom two bathroom home has been lovingly updated while still retaining its heritage charm. Immersed within native gardens, sited on a large corner block, the home is ideally placed, across from parkland on a sleepy street, within coveted Lyneham.

Both inside and out you feel a sense of belonging within nature and there are plenty of different spaces to experience and connect with the sheltering landscape. The gardens fully encircle the home, the long backyard swelling at one end to lawn and large vegetable garden. While the northern end is given over to moments of connection and solitude…outdoor bath, firepit and a large, paved area for celebrating with family and friends.

The low-lying elongated form is very much hidden behind sheltering trees with a driveway entry off Blackbutt Street. The approach is rustic, steppers set within a gravelled pathway, a forest of trees screening and enveloping. And the form all classic modernist, raw brick with a simple pitched roof line, side panelling and a dotting of large windows. There is an open air deck that stretches to greet the trees, wrapping around the corner of the house. 

A mid-century carved timber door opens to the foyer which has plenty of cupboard space for hanging your coats and storing boots. The original pine floorboards stretch underfoot as crisp white walls blur to high raked ceilings, which are carried throughout the home. There is a generous, airy simplicity at play, the raked ceilings creating lofty volume and multiple glass doors forging and easy connection to nature. We love the circular flow, the living space curving to dining room and kitchen, the whole space animated by the textures and colours of the gardens.

A re-furb has introduced double glazing through-out and added a contemporary kitchen with an array of simple white cabinetry and a crisp tiled splashback. Broad windows introduce light and scenery and there is an ideal conversational mood to and from the dining space, with its spill to the alfresco area. 

A long slender hallway with epic volume connects to a series of bright bedrooms, the family bathroom and separate shower room. Three bedrooms have built-in-robes and all four rooms capture tranquil, leafy vistas inviting a deep privacy. Chrome and white glass pendant lights create visual interest and again the high pitched ceilings enhance the inner experience.

The bathroom is a joyful pop of pattern and colour as Moroccan geometric tiling in deep blue and white adorns the walls. The timber vanity and stone grey floors, earth the space, syncing with the ethos of the entire home. There is also the convenience of an additional separate toilet, separate shower and a large laundry opening onto the garden.

Lambert is a sought-after street that runs alongside Parkland and is moments from O'Connor Ridge Reserve. It is within walking distance to the local Lyneham shops and schools. The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to a lively mix of independent cafes, restaurants and shops within the area. Ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, and beautiful street trees create a tranquil village experience just a short drive from Braddon the CBD and ANU.
