Welcome to 77 Wattle Street O'Connor

A storybook red-brick façade with terracotta roof tiles and a white picket charm sets the tone for this beautifully reimagined O’Connor residence. Thoughtfully extended and tastefully renovated, this home effortlessly balances heritage character with modern liveability, creating a rare sanctuary in one of Canberra’s most loved inner north locations.

A thoughtfully designed floor plan connects the generous living areas, a modern kitchen, and a series of alfresco retreats - each space designed for comfort, flexibility, and family connection. The rear extension delivers a sumptuous parents’ wing complete with a kitchenette, rumpus, and ensuite - ideal for multigenerational living, a teenage retreat, or even a second income opportunity.
