Price per m² based on land size of 709 m².
The property occupies a 709 m² block. This provides ample space for a garden or outdoor entertaining area.
It is a standalone house. The residence sits on a sizeable parcel of land within the Lyneham neighbourhood.
The historic Old Canberra Inn is about 0.8 km away, and the popular Tilley's Café is roughly 1 km from the property. The National Hockey Centre and Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) are also within a 1 km radius.
Lyneham is served by several light‑rail stops, including Macarthur Avenue and Dickson Interchange, which are walking distance from the street. Bus routes R9, 30, 31, 50 and 51 also pass through the suburb, and the Sullivans Creek shared path offers a convenient cycling route.
The ground is primarily Silurian calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by recent alluvial deposits. This limestone‑based geology gave Canberra its original name, the 'Limestone Plains.'
Lyneham was gazetted in 1928 but development began in 1958, featuring leafy streets and established gardens. The suburb blends mid‑20th‑century homes with newer developments and is known for its proximity to nature parks, bushland, and cultural venues such as EPIC.
