If you are seeking an exceptional, single level home when downsizing or for an extended family, for those who would like a home office, should you require accommodation for elderly relatives or a nanny for the children, this home may suit your requirements. It is compact, comfortable, welcoming and provides a feeling of peace and contentment.
The location is superior being in a quiet street but close to all amenities including the Parliamentary Triangle, the Embassy Precinct of Yarralumla, hospitals and schools and the Inner South shops and cafe culture.
Perhaps this magic was achieved by the original owner, who in 1956, engaged the renowned architects Heather Sutherland and her husband Malcolm Moir. The modernistic design has been sympathetically extended in later years enhancing the functionality of this remarkable and stylish family home and the adjoining flat.
Architect Peter Collins of Collins Caddaye, completedthe sympathetic extension that won the prestigious 2010 HIA/CSR Housing Award.
The home is set in carefully crafted courtyards behind privacy hedges pierced, in Newdegate Street, by an artesian, whimsical metal gate. Unique and unusual, this feature sets the tone of what to expect in this wonderful home.Mature espaliered trees, an elegant slumped glasswater feature and discrete lighting lead to the front door through another paved and private courtyard.
The northerly orientation of the family room at the rear of the home provides a tranquil indoor/outdoor environment and a feeling of repose. Large picture windows throughout the home ensure all rooms are full of light with a pretty and verdant outlook into the garden, the neighbourhood trees and a glimpse of bush land on Red Hill.
The polished Tasmanian oak floors and high ceilings, the white on white decor, the open fire and a smart and modern kitchen with marble and Corian bench surfaces provide a high level of practical comfort and instils pride of ownership. The home has the added advantage of ducted gas heating and double brick construction.
