Designed by acclaimed architects Towell, Rippon & Associates, 27 Mirning Crescent is a home with genuine architectural pedigree and a design that feels as relevant today as it did when first built.
Set privately among established gardens, the home's mid-century character reveals itself gradually. Raked ceilings, expansive glazing, long horizontal windows, warm timber detailing and freshly sanded hardwood floors create a strong connection between the architecture and its leafy surroundings. Rather than simply looking out to the garden, the home has been designed around it.
Freshly painted throughout, the interiors are bright, warm and beautifully resolved. The formal lounge is a standout, with a soaring ceiling and walls of glass drawing greenery into the room. Direct access to the adjoining deck makes this a natural space for both entertaining and everyday living.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen and dining area continues the sense of volume and light. The kitchen offers generous storage, stone benchtops, a large island and breakfast bar, while the dining area opens directly to the deck on one side and connects with the family room on the other.
The second living space is particularly special. Framed by a dramatic raked window reaching towards the roofline, it opens directly to the rear lawn and established garden. It is an intimate contrast to the larger formal lounge and gives the home two distinct places to live and unwind.
Four bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged throughout the floorplan. The main bedroom is privately positioned away from the remaining bedrooms, with large windows overlooking the garden, built-in robes and its own ensuite. Three further bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests or working from home, supported by the main bathroom with separate bath and shower and an additional separate toilet.
Outside, mature planting creates privacy from almost every angle. Lawns, established garden beds and mature trees surround the home, while the sheltered timber deck sits within the architecture itself, connecting the dining area, lounge and garden and creating an exceptionally private place to entertain.
Hydronic heating provides comfortable, even warmth through Canberra winters, complemented by reverse-cycle split systems and upgraded roof insulation. Together with the freshly painted interiors and newly sanded hardwood floors, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and improved while retaining the details that make its original design so beautiful.
A home that is a piece of Canberra's mid-century history, designed with an understanding of light, landscape and family life that has stood the test of time.
