14 Mackennal Street

This charming three-bedder sits on a big block in an ideal location, directly across from Magpie Hill and an easy stroll to Lyneham schools and shops. The low-lying brick form is nestled behind landscaped front gardens, edged pathways, formal garden beds and a circular driveway. The home brims with original details including high ceilings, picture rails, glass set doors and serves-up endless potential. It has a wonderful north-easterly orientation and endless rear gardens. MacKennal is coveted for its natural elevation and its avenue of age-old oaks. It is the perfect locale, between reserve and village shops, connected to schools and ovals, endless shared bike and walking paths that cut past wetlands. It is a leafy stroll to the iconic Tilley's Devine Café Gallery and moments to the bustling Dickson and Braddon hubs, an easy commute to the CBD. The classic vintage form is painted pale green, with a terracotta tiled rooftop and a sweet front porch with wrought iron balustrade. From here you can gaze across the garden at the melaleuca conifers and freshly planted rows of lavender. A long driveway ushers to a gated metal garage and a charming front door with patterned glass insets. Living, dining and kitchen are arranged in a circular pattern with big windows capturing light and landscape. We love the wall of timber panelling and the internal doors set with ribboned glass. The original kitchen feels open and spacious, with enough room for a central meals table. Big windows overlook the sunny rear garden, drenching the whole space with lovely light. The cabinetry is original and there is an updated, all-electric freestanding oven and cooktop. A duo of big bedrooms capture front garden views and serve-up built-in-robes, while the third bedroom frames views across the rear garden, to the mountains. There is an updated family bathroom with an accessible shower space and a big vanity. And there is the convenience of a separate toilet. The big, internal laundry delivers you straight to the garden, with its array of concrete paths, soft lawn. A hills hoist sits central, garden beds are edged with natural rock and high fences deliver a lovely privacy. The home is within easy reach of the excellent shops, restaurants and bars of the quaint village centres of Lyneham, O'Connor and Ainslie and connects to walking and bike trails that wend through wetlands, tree dotted parksall the way to the city. The central locale of this beautiful inner north suburb connects you to the independent eateries and bars of the Braddon and Dickson precincts. It is an easy stroll to the iconic Tilley's for long brunches and the occasional live Jazz on Saturday evenings and The Front for great coffee. The Diamond Way Buddhist centre is also close to hand, as is the primary and high school.
