Some homes reveal themselves all at once. 13 Coles Place takes its time - and every corner you turn is worth the discovery.
Set on a quiet street in one of Canberra's most quietly coveted suburbs, this architecturally considered mid-century residence is a genuinely rare find. Raked ceilings run throughout the entire home, giving every room a sense of volume and light that you simply don't find in contemporary builds. Hardwood parquetry floors, clerestory windows, and a feature internal courtyard that the whole house wraps around - this is a property with real character, built to last.
The formal living and dining room sets the tone immediately - a generous, light-filled space anchored by a fireplace and framed by double-glazed windows that look out over the front deck. It's the kind of room that works equally well for a quiet night in or entertaining a crowd.
The kitchen features stone benchtops and a breakfast bar, positioned to keep the cook connected to the action. Adjacent, the family room overlooks the pool with direct sliding door access and its own split system - a relaxed, everyday space that flows seamlessly to the outdoors.
Outside, a large wraparound deck lines the pool, softened by established vines that lend the space a sense of permanence and charm. A covered outdoor entertaining area sits alongside, and raised garden beds complete a backyard that has been genuinely loved and cultivated over time.
The main bedroom is a standout - a raked ceiling, clerestory windows, built-in robe, and sliding door access to the outside. A walk-through robe leads to a walk-through ensuite, which in turn opens to a dedicated study space with its own sliding door access to the internal courtyard. It's a private, considered retreat within the home.
Three further bedrooms all share that coveted outlook over the rear garden - two with built-in robes - serviced by a beautifully appointed mid-century bathroom with a separate bath and separate shower that feels original without feeling dated.
The segregated entry configuration offers genuine flexibility for multi-generational living or hosting extended guests with real independence. A double carport with built-in storage, a rear workshop with an underground wine cellar, and additional garden sheds and workshops mean the practical needs of the household are thoroughly covered.
The reserve adjoining the property adds a sense of space and greenery beyond the boundary, while established gardens throughout and a winding driveway arrival give the home a sense of arrival that makes an impression every time.
Walkable to Mt Taylor, minutes from Torrens Primary, Mawson Shops, and the Woden CBD - the location is as considered as the home itself.
