Overflowing with space and surrounded by greenery, 28 Dryandra Street in O’Connor is a very special home that has a lot to get excited about.

The home makes a big first impression with its space. Set on an 812 sqm corner block, with seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across two floors, there’s room for everyone and ample opportunity to adjust the setup as demands require.

“The home is a unique offering – two homes in one. A foyer creates a link between the stunning new build that sits atop the original home,” home.by holly agent Ash Costello says.

The downstairs has been used as a rental, giving owners an extra stream of income, but it also makes the homes perfect for intergenerational living, and the bedrooms can be converted into study or hobby areas.

“The entire home is very generously sized. There’s really no shortage of space,” Ash says.

With a study, sunny foyer, two decks and a balcony, not to mention the garden, the home is perfect for a big family that needs to spread out.

The upstairs master bedroom is a story in itself, boasting an ensuite bathroom, walk-in robe, access to the sun-soaked balcony and, best of all, sweeping mountain and city views.

“The home has a great elevated position, but the master has the best view. The current owners told me that they watch Skyfire and the Balloon Festival from their bedroom,” Ash says.

The living area has been very thoughtfully created and the design centralises the views and light provided by the high position. That design process is most evident in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which beautifully pulls in the light from massive double-glazed windows.

“The kitchen is very special. It has bespoke timber cabinetry, terrazzo benchtops, a Bosch dishwasher and, of course, a beautiful leafy aspect – that goes for the entire upstairs extension,” Ash says.

The living area opens out onto the balcony, making it easy to shift dinner parties, get-togethers or family nights out among the trees.

“The balcony overlooking the garden is very special, and the garden itself is a great established green space. When put together, it makes the top floor feel like a treehouse,” Ash says.

The private garden houses mature veggie patches, meaning it is functional as well as visually stunning.

The home’s location perfectly strikes the balance between convenience and quiet. The property is close to the city, just 10 minutes by car, yet it has all the best of a more suburban setting with access to great schools, nature trails and the most valuable asset – peace.

“The locale is perfect, very close to Black Mountain and its tracks and parks, yet within walking distance of schools and local shops,” Ash says.

The property is full of features that make daily living a breeze. Timed irrigation on the wraparound gardens, five water tanks, a 5 kW solar system, an auto door on the double garage and privacy screens on the balcony do so much to make the home easy to maintain and move-in ready.

Thoughtfully designed, versatile and bursting with features that excite, 28 Dryandra Street is a rare kind of family home that you’ll never want to leave.
