Framed by the calm of a nearby reserve, this architecturally designed four-bedroom residence embodies the perfect union of modern refinement, sustainable principles, and artisanal craftsmanship. Its coveted position within moments of Manuka, Kingston, Deakin Village, and the CBD delivers an exceptional balance of serenity and cityside convenience.
Every element of the design has been considered to harness light, texture, and connection. A timeless palette of crisp whites, deep greys, and warm spotted gum timber creates a mood of understated luxury, while character-rich details - from repurposed vintage roof trusses to original re-laid pavers - pay homage to the home's thoughtful creation and authenticity.
At its heart lies a kitchen of remarkable beauty and precision. Arabescato marble benchtops and bespoke white joinery are elevated by blue-grey kit-kat tiling, while a reclaimed hardwood breakfast bar by Thor's Hammer introduces a natural tactility. High-end Miele appliances, an integrated fridge/freezer, and a fully equipped butler's pantry complete this refined culinary domain.
Expansive living and dining zones flow seamlessly to a sunlit courtyard, where soft sheers temper the light and create a sense of tranquil continuity. A separate parlour provides an intimate retreat - a quiet space framed by natural light and lush outlooks, perfect for moments of calm or quiet conversation.
The ground floor main suite offers a private escape, opening directly to the courtyard. A custom walk-in robe in soft grey tones complements the spa-inspired ensuite, where oak double vanities, a rain shower, and elegant finishes evoke a sense of timeless indulgence. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms capture leafy vistas across the treetops, including glimpses of Parliament House and surrounding parklands. The fourth bedroom enjoys the luxury of its own ensuite, while the main bathroom features a sculptural cast stone bath and refined fittings.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the alfresco area is a masterclass in atmosphere. Paved in French travertine and shaded beneath a pergola of reclaimed steel, it hosts a built-in outdoor kitchen with barbecue, sink, and twin fridges - a space that effortlessly extends the home's sense of hospitality into the open air.
A statement of design excellence and environmental consciousness, this Deakin residence is a rare offering - where craftsmanship, comfort, and contemporary elegance come together in perfect harmony.
