Home of the Week: Country meets Hamptons in Lyons

Commanding the street corner, as it should, the home at 1 Scottsdale Street, Lyons, is one to take notice of.

An extensive yet loving renovation has all the elements you’d expect of a new home, leaving nothing to do for its new owners.

It also means the home still maintains much of its original character, just refreshed, repainted and a whole lot better.

If a country cottage took a holiday in the Hamptons, it would come back looking like this place. And that’s exactly how you’ll feel within the home’s walls – calm and peaceful like the countryside, yet refreshed and invigorated like the seaside.

All elements inside the light, bright and white interiors have been meticulously chosen for their elegance and quality.

The north-facing main living area and adjacent kitchen are bathed in natural light thanks to windows in all the right places. A separate rumpus room provides an additional living space, ideal for families with young children who need a place to play.

The main bedroom – with en suite – is the only bedroom on the ground floor, while the other three bedrooms are upstairs in an attempt to contain the chaos.

The deck and al fresco entertaining area comprise one of the main features of the home, immersed in northern sunlight and surrounded by beautiful gardens that so effortlessly blend into the surrounding leafy landscape of Lyons.

Matt Shipard of Hive Property says the house is the perfect blend of sophisticated style and liveability.

“The quality of craftsmanship and the efficiency in design means the home is commonly mistaken for a knockdown rebuild rather than an extensively renovated home,” he says.

Getting to the Woden Town Centre from Lyons is a short six-minute car ride, while the Lyons Shops boasts all the essentials, including impeccable coffee at Stand by Me cafe.
