Tucked discreetly behind a lush, manicured hedge and beneath the dappled canopy of stately Chinese elm street trees, this distinguished residence is a rare offering in one of Canberra's most sought-after enclaves. An architectural gem, this iconic Deakin home blends timeless mid-century modernism with sophisticated contemporary updates-offering an exceptional lifestyle just moments from the lake, the Private Hospital, and the vibrant EQ business precinct.
Recently revitalised, the kitchen is a showpiece of luxury and functionality-featuring exquisite natural stone benchtops, bespoke cabinetry, induction cooking, and soft-close finishes. The entire home has been meticulously repainted, and a brand-new designer ensuite with custom vanity and honed stone tiles adds a touch of hotel-style indulgence.
The main residence offers three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, a formal living room with fireplace, separate dining, and a light-filled family room at the rear-all complemented by polished Tasmanian oak floors, soaring ceilings, and expansive picture windows that frame tranquil garden vistas and glimpses of Red Hill bushland.
A substantial one-bedroom flat, with its own private entrance, ensuite, kitchen, and garden living room, provides versatile accommodation for extended family, guests, a home office, or private carer-offering the ultimate in flexibility without compromising on style or comfort.
Originally commissioned in 1956 by the original owner and brought to life by renowned architects Moir and Sutherland, the home is a shining example of modernist design. A sympathetic extension by award-winning architect Peter Collins of Collins Caddaye, honoured with the 2010 HIA/CSR Housing Award, has elevated the property's functionality and flow while maintaining its architectural integrity.
Desert-inspired, low-maintenance gardens shine behind the hedge, leading along red brick pathways through elegant courtyards, mature trees, lush lawns. Optional alfresco outdoor dining zones to capture the best of the sun, or shade, season dependent.
Constructed in enduring double brick and positioned on a wide, leafy street, this home enjoys the ultimate blend of privacy and proximity-walking distance to Canberra Private Hospital and the EQ business park, and mere minutes to the lake, embassy precinct, Inner South schools, and café culture.
A truly rare and luxurious offering-designed with intellect, crafted with care, and presented with pride.
