If you're familiar with Lyneham, then no doubt you already love the location! Take a short stroll to find delicious morning coffee at the Front Cafe, evening drinks at Tilly's or sunset walks around the Wetlands. The local shops, Clay at Midtown, O'Connor Ridge, and the Dickson strip are all within arm's reach. Connecting directly through your back gate, access to the light rail and bike paths will lead you straight to the city. Everything feels like it's on your doorstep on Wattle Street.

The 'Acacia Gardens' an established complex, is one of the earlier builds on Wattle Street when Lyneham was finding its new identity as an emerging cosmopolitan inner-city precinct. Benefitting from 'old school' design of generous common areas and solid construction, the lifestyle on offer is enhanced with the recently developed communal veggie gardens, chook run and fruit trees. The residents are also in the process of building a firepit and communal seating area to be enjoyed by all occupants. The committee have also received a grant to help build up the communal garden just outside the boundary fence. There is plenty to do if you have a green thumb and want to get involved, or you can just sit back and enjoy the outdoor spaces.

The leafy tree lined streets and quiet position on the top floor of the complex delivers a light-filled one bedroom apartment with a functional floor plan and modern amenity. Open plan living connects with a sunny balcony terrace boasting private views out to gorgeous gumtrees. The separation of living and bedroom with updated bathroom, is just one of the many attributes of this apartment.
