Nestled within the tightly held Holt Village development, this beautifully preserved Art Deco inspired townhouse offers something truly special. Timeless architecture, lush gardens, and an undeniable sense of calm.
Originally designed by renowned Australian architect Enrico Taglietti and completed in 1975, the home captures his distinctive style through geometric form, bold lines, and striking red-framed windows that bring vibrancy and warmth to every corner. North-facing and bathed in natural light, it strikes the perfect balance between mid-century design and inviting comfort.
Step inside and you'll find a welcoming open-plan living and dining space finished with floating timber floors and direct access to a curated courtyard garden. The outdoor space feels like a private English cottage, complete with flowering shrubs, creepers climbing the boundary walls, a patch of lush lawn and a paved seating area ideal for your morning coffee or evening wine.
The kitchen, delightfully original, is a rare 70's modern gem - its signature yellow benchtops and ample storage make a joyful nod to the home's architectural era. Both bedrooms are generous and include built-in wardrobes, each with tranquil outlooks over central parkland. The main bedroom enjoys direct access to open green space beyond, further enhancing the home's connection to nature.
A well-maintained bathroom with a shower-over-bath design, external laundry, screened utility area with clothesline, and a storage shed add practicality to the charm. With a single carport and easy access to Kippax Fair, parkland, and reserve walking trails, the location complements the lifestyle perfectly.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Canberra's architectural heritage, a home that celebrates the simplicity, creativity, and enduring beauty of Taglietti's vision.
