With its riot of daffodils, native grasses, blossom and wattle…it is fitting that this enchanting cottage is located on Clianthus Street. Its name coming from 'kleios' meaning glory and 'anthos' meaning flower. Screened by mature trees, this 1959 brick veneer home, has been sensitively updated with an emphasis on sustainable living. To the rear, a bright, modern kitchen and dining connect seamlessly to the rear deck and newly planted, native micro garden. <br/><br/>Located within the much coveted inner-north, the home is a stone's throw from the Braddon precinct, the ANU and CBD. Honey, mixed bricks and white picture windows, charming front porch, brick planter boxes and paved driveway to original garage, characterise the traditional façade.<br/><br/>Within, original timber floorboards lay underfoot, and wonderfully tall ceilings create a sense of spaciousness. Vintage features including picture rails and built-in cabinetry allow for the display of beloved and curated artworks. The duck egg blue and crisp white palette and original timber sash windows (retro fitted with double glazing throughout) ensure a peaceful and cosy environment. <br/><br/>The living room features generous corner windows and an open fireplace with timber mantle. The addition of three, electric reverse cycle, split air conditioning units within the home allow for all year comfort, and negate the need for gas heating. New wall, ceiling and underfloor insulation ramps up the energy efficiency and sustainability. <br/><br/>Three bedrooms occupy the front of the home and enjoy leafy views and plenty of storage. The master bedroom faces north and is graced with a continuity of sunlight and glimpses of street life through the trees. Off the hallway is a simply appointed family bathroom with generous sized shower and separate toilet.<br/><br/>A beautifully renovated kitchen in playful palette of white on white, with pops of orange, overlooks the creatively designed private rear garden. Blackbutt recycled timber counter tops from Thor's Hammer, harmonise the old and the new and there is ample storage including a full height pantry. Adjacent is a separate and fully updated, modern laundry.<br/><br/>The dining room opens via French doors to covered deck with plenty of space to accommodate alfresco dining for all. A triplet of native beds, richly planted with pebbled furrows, mimicking natural riverbeds gives way to dedicated vegetable gardens. Off to one side a paved seating area is sheltered by mature ornamental pear, a lovely spot for a quiet morning coffee.<br/><br/><br/>FEATURES: <br/>.charming 50's brick family home in O'Connor<br/>.front lounge with tall corner double hung windows, in-built cabinetry, open fireplace with mantle, split-system air conditioning and timber flooring<br/>.connecting dining area with French doors out to back deck <br/>.updated kitchen with recycled blackbutt timber bench-top from Thor's Hammer, skylight, garden views, breakfast bar and ample cabinetry <br/>.induction cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher<br/>.main corner bedroom with newly installed built-in wardrobes and split-system air conditioning <br/>.two additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes <br/>.main bathroom with oversized shower, new vanity and separate water closet <br/>.renovated laundry with functional space, tub and cabinetry <br/>.linen cupboards<br/>.single lock up garage (detached)<br/><br/>.recently planted native Australian garden with pebbled drainage systems<br/>.veggie patches <br/><br/>.ceiling fan (bedroom 3) <br/>.split-system heating and cooling (living/dining, bedrooms 1 & 3) <br/>.underfloor heating <br/>.retrofitted double glazing <br/>.completely insulated <br/>.energy efficient electric hot water system <br/>.led lights <br/><br/>FINE DETAILS (all approximate): <br/><br/>Land size: 544 m2<br/>Build size: 119m2 (approx.)<br/>EER: 6<br/>Zoning: RZ1<br/><br/>Build year: 1959<br/>Last renovated: 2015<br/><br/>Rates: $6,432.55 pa<br/>Land tax: $11,445.80 pa (investors only)<br/>UV: $1,029,000 (2022)<br/><br/>Clianthus is a sought-after, leafy street close to Lyneham shops and walking distance to O'Connor Reserve and O'Connor shops.
