Behind its classic facade lies a home here of exquisite stylishness and modernity. Exceptional features and materials - many seldom seen in Canberra - elevate this family residence to something truly special. Overseen by Carly Martin from Akimbo Architecture, the transformation inside creates a contemporary European and fresh feeling with classical elegance. Oak flooring imported from France has been laid in a parquetry design throughout the living spaces, giving a sophisticated air that resonates from the moment you walk in the oversized custom front door.

Soulful and elemental Venetian plaster on the walls brings a depth and luminosity to the heart of the calming neutral palette which is complemented by floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains that add softness, movement and texture. A clever circular floor plan leads you seamlessly from the lounge room through the dining and on to the gourmet kitchen where you'll discover a space that any chef would covet. Equipped with a Gaggenau oven, steam oven, sous vide, Wolf gas cooktop and Liebherr refrigerator, the kitchen also benefits from a 6m-long worktop, island bench and a butler's pantry with integrated Gaggenau microwave and Zip hydro system.

All four bedrooms are tucked away in their own wing and have been designed as restorative oases. The second bedroom has the luxury of its own ensuite. The master, too, has its own designer ensuite plus a wondrous built-in wardrobe system with pull down hangers. Clever storage throughout has been meticulously considered, even down to the chute hidden in the linen cupboard off the bedrooms which discretely channels clothes to the laundry room on the ground level. Adjacent you'll also find a rumpus room which could easily be adapted to become a gymnasium or yoga space.

Living in this vibrant cul-de-sac is like discovering a genuine village community where neighbours genuinely enjoy each other's company. There's also easy access to the foothill trails of Red Hill and the popular Hughes Primary School, while other terrific inner south schools, boutiques and cafes are just minutes away by car.
