NO NEED TO REGISTER FOR AN OPEN HOME, COME ON THROUGH
One of two townhouses designed by Australian Government architect Cuthbert Whitley in the late 1930s, these are among the first government-designed and built functionalist style houses in Australia and are listed on the ACT Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture. The Whitley houses are defined by their single-level, flat-roof design, asymmetrical cubic shapes, and clean lines.
Beautifully preserved, the historical dwelling has been thoughtfully updated throughout to retain its original character and craftsmanship while enhancing its liveability with modern comforts. Behind the simplistic white façade is a harmonious single-level floor plan with luxurious formal and informal spaces.
The home is ideally located, in a premium position on the corner of Canberra Avenue and Cunningham Street. A short walk from the Griffith, Manuka and Kingston Shops, Lake Burley Griffin, the Parliamentary Triangle, and a highly regarded selection of local schools, your every lifestyle need is met here.
