Canberra property: renovated four-bedroom Lyons house offers resort-style living

A resort-style home that was designed for relaxing with family and friends combines tranquility and convenience in a prime location.

The four-bedroom house in a tree-lined Lyons street is within walking distance of Westfield Woden, multiple public service buildings and Canberra Hospital.

Owner Kim Preston says no space was overlooked during a full renovation that was completed seven months ago.

“My partner, Steve, is a former carpenter and we are both perfectionists so were very particular that everything was completed to the highest standards,” Kim says.    

The size, shape and layout of all rooms were re-jigged to create a better sense of flow and provide modern comfort throughout.

The home offers new owners a parents’ retreat, separate granny flat, heated saltwater pool and spacious alfresco entertaining area.

“Visitors say the home has a lovely energy about it and is a wonderful place to unwind. There is no better spot to be in summer than around the pool, or in winter inside enjoying the beautiful sun-filled rooms,” Kim says.  

The home has ducted gas and split system heating and cooling, a large garage with work area and storage, and landscaped gardens.

The property is close to a nature reserve and walking trails.
