</div>
Built in the 1920s, the property was tired and needed a lot of love and attention, but with the planned makeover came a raft of heritage approvals and building regulations.Fast-forward six years, and <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/luton-manuka/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luton Properties</a> sales agent <a href="/agents/sophie-luton-2/">Sophie Luton</a> said the property was “unrecognisable”.“I sold the property to these owners, and seeing the transformation and restoration they’ve done is absolutely incredible,” she said.“The time, effort and money that has gone into this home is second to none.”<img alt="9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image-0-20231213210140399843-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">Sophie said when she entered the home recently, her jaw hit the floor.“You wouldn’t even know it was the same property,” she said.“They’ve worked sympathetically with the heritage style and transformed the home and gardens to an entirely new level.”<img alt="9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image-0-20231213210141886153-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image.width-800_QVEizWU.jpg" width="800">Set on over 2000 square metres of manicured, park-like grounds, the four-bedroom home retains its heritage charm but boasts all the amenities of a brand-new build. A new studio at the rear of the garden provides extra space for guests or extended family.“The owners have done all the hard work and jumped through all the heritage approvals. They’ve ticked all those boxes and crafted an incredible home that’s a real credit to them,” Sophie said.“When I first saw it, it gave me goosebumps. It’s immaculate from start to finish. Every aspect, every corner is exceptional.”The home has benefitted from a completed renovation, while a new heated salt-water pool and stylish outdoor entertaining area are set in the centre of the property, creating a private garden oasis in one of the Inner South’s most charming tree-lined streets.<img alt="9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image-0-20231213210143229180-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image.width-800_JgkzBHu.jpg" width="800">The enlarged main residence features four bedrooms, a large office, a separate lounge with a fireplace and a formal dining room. Picture windows, high ceilings and beautiful engineered blackbutt timber flooring make the home feel fresh, modern and airy all year round.The chef’s kitchen with two Miele ovens, a built-in Liebherr fridge, Miele induction cooktop and Miele dishwasher, boasts a walk-in pantry with large pull-out larder, sink, additional fridge space, second Miele dishwasher and external access. From the extraordinary kitchen, you can take in the amazing garden views.<img alt="9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image-0-20231213210143936606-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image.width-800_BzfYJCY.jpg" width="800">The sun-drenched open-plan family room flows out to the covered alfresco and pool area, while large windows invite the garden vistas inside.The master retreat is a space to unwind after a busy day, with an incredible ensuite with bath and shower and a large separate dressing room with abundant wardrobes. It opens onto its own private garden courtyard with a water feature.Also on this estate is a new cottage with studio/workshop facilities, bathroom and kitchenette style area with French doors opening onto a large verandah overlooking a private north-facing garden.The top-to-bottom renovation has included new plumbing and electrics, installation of internet cabling throughout, including the studio, as well as new floor and window coverings.<img alt="9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image-0-20231213210148214556-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368-image.width-800_fy4XWJ2.jpg" width="800">Sophie said this was an opportunity for a family to purchase an immaculate and unique property where all the hard work had been done.“People love these heritage properties, but renovating them to such a high standard requires a lot of money and hard work. This home is ideal for anyone wanting that 1927-era character and charm, but without the hassle of gaining heritage approvals and taking on such an enormous project,” she said.Having grown up in Barkly Crescent, Sophie has an intimate knowledge of the area and is passionate about marketing this property for the second time after the makeover.“Barkly Crescent holds a special place in my heart, and I have fond memories of walking to school along the magnificent tree-lined streets,” she said.“I can see a family moving in and enjoying everything this home and its surrounds have to offer, and really becoming part of the friendly neighbourhood that I loved so much growing up.“Magical memories will be created here, celebrating Christmas, birthdays and even weddings on the grounds.“Because you have the main house and the private cottage, you can house extended family, which is what a lot of buyers are looking for.“There’s been a good amount of top-end sales this year, and we’re expecting a lot of interest in this estate. There are definitely buyers out there wanting those premium properties, and this one ticks all the boxes.”The fully fenced property is secure with remote-controlled electric driveway gates and is just a short walk through a picturesque neighbourhood to Manuka Village, the parliament zone and a selection of excellent schools.9 Barkly Crescent Forrest goes to auction 10am Saturday 2 March 2024<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/9-barkly-crescent-forrest-act-2603-92368/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/jaw-dropping-transformation-breathes-new-life-into-historic-forrest-estate/730533" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

The stunning transformation of 9 Barkly Crescent into a modern heritage haven

What if the Kingston Foreshore was actually named The Eastlake Foreshore? And instead of living in Barton, you lived in Telopea? While some of Walter Burley Griffin&#x27;s original suburb names stuck, others were swept aside or used in very different ways across the capital.Between 1913 and 1920, Griffin laid out the apex of suburbs and streets that would form the heart of our city. But in 1927, the suburbs were renamed to honour the leaders of Australian federation.Here are some of the suburb names Griffin dreamed of that simply don&#x27;t exist anymore.<h2 data-block-key="87cgj">Blandfordia (Forrest)</h2><img alt="IMG_4801" class="richtext-image full-width" height="298" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4801.width-800.jpg" width="411">Blandfordia was one of the earliest suburbs in Canberra, built to the original plans. Named after the Christmas Bell, a flowering plant native to eastern Australia, it was gazetted as a suburb in 1928.Its circular streets were classic Burley Griffin design and its elegant tree-lined avenues and stately homes were - and still are among the most coveted in the ACT.<img alt="IMG_4802" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4802.width-800.jpg" width="800">The original residents of Blandfordia were mostly senior public servants who moved in when Federal Parliament finally moved from Melbourne to Canberra. Blandfordia is now simply a part of the suburb of Forrest.<h2 data-block-key="8be1o">Eastlake (Kingston)</h2><img alt="IMG_4789" class="richtext-image full-width" height="378" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4789.width-800.jpg" width="731">During the initial stages of Canberra&#x27;s formation, the region known as Kingston was ‘Eastlake’. The district of Eastlake was originally used as housing for blue collar works, specifically labourers who had been brought in to build the infrastructure Australia&#x27;s capital city.The neighbouring suburb of Forrest (Blandfordia) was set aside for more &#x27;upper class&#x27; public servants of middle and higher ranks. <img alt="IMG_4790" class="richtext-image full-width" height="540" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4790.width-800.jpg" width="590">The Eastlake Football and Cricket Club that still exists in Manuka stands as a memory of Canberra&#x27;s foundation. <h2 data-block-key="bag3h">Westlake (Yarralumla) </h2><img alt="IMG_4804" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4804.width-800.jpg" width="800">Westlake, now a ghost town, was once a thriving suburb that existed in Canberra from 1922 to 1965. Located on the outskirts of Yarralumla, the site where Westlake once existed is now surrounded by embassies and bushland. Westlake was composed of tradesmen and their families, who came to Canberra to build the capital&#x27;s first buildings (among them the Sydney and Melbourne buildings). Original housing consisted of tents and a community hall, but was soon followed by 61 temporary cottages.Nearby, around 20 timber huts were built for the single men, and this area was known as the Hostel Camp.<img alt="IMG_4805" class="richtext-image full-width" height="473" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4805.width-800.jpg" width="600">All of the original Westlake cottages were eventually sold off one by one or taken away on the backs of trucks, with the last cottage removed in 1965. A number are now over the border in Queanbeyan and one sits with a new coat of paint in River Street, Oaks Estate.At its peak, the Westlake area had 700 residents and remnants of original buildings can be found on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin today. <h2 data-block-key="5iuk6">The Causeway (Kingston) </h2><img alt="IMG_4799" class="richtext-image full-width" height="571" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4799.width-800.jpg" width="800">The Causeway is still a small district within the suburb of Kingston, adjacent to Kingston Foreshore, but was once a much larger community. It was originally planned by Burley Griffin to be parallel to a dam across the Molonglo River, but this never transpired. The earliest housing at The Causeway consisted of modest cottages. Around 120 timber cottages were constructed at The Causeway between 1925 and 1926, to accommodate construction workers. <img alt="IMG_4798" class="richtext-image full-width" height="805" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4798.width-800.jpg" width="800">After WWII, housing at The Causeway and Westlake was considered sub-standard and the wooden cottages were wrapped with brick veneer. Despite major redevelopments of the Kingston Foreshore in recent years, a close-knit community of residents still lives at The Causeway. <h2 data-block-key="e60hp">Telopea Park (Barton) </h2><img alt="IMG_4795" class="richtext-image full-width" height="794" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4795.width-800.jpg" width="800">Today, we know Telopea Park as home to one the oldest parks and schools in Canberra. Named after the floral emblem of NSW, Telopea Park was planned at the end of Sydney Avenue by Walter Burley Griffin and originally described the whole area now known as Barton.<img alt="IMG_4806" class="richtext-image full-width" height="439" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4806.width-800.jpg" width="699">While the suburb itself was established in 1922, it was renamed Barton in 1928 when Sir Edmund Barton was named the first Prime Minister of Australia. The original plans for the area included a parkland full of waratahs (botanical name Telopea). The plans never eventuated, but the name Telopea stuck.

How do you price the Palm Springs home that Canberra can't stop talking about?

From inside, it’s hard to fathom that you’re in the middle of a capital city.The home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-talbot-street-forrest-act-2603-49499/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">17 Talbot Street</a> in Forrest is literally a stone’s throw away from State Circle and Parliament House and surrounded by various embassies, all the while nestled in a lush and established garden.The massive country-style sold-brick house, with a strong presence of timber and slate, enjoys its own sprawling and private grounds.Ray White real estate <a href="/agents/ben-faulks/">Ben Faulks</a> says it’s a location that serves up the best of both worlds.“We’re standing here in the middle of town, but we’ve got the birds chirping. It’s a beautiful spot.”<img alt="17-talbot-street-forrest-6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-talbot-street-forrest-6.width-800.jpg" width="800">The 1477 square metre landholding with long street frontage, dual driveway access and gently sloping fall of the block will accommodate the grandest of ambitions.The home is made up of two parts. The original section was built 58 years ago, but a renovation saw this become five bedrooms and a lounge, as well as a dedicated billiard room.“The pool table is a really striking feature of the whole room. It’s easy to imagine some of the conversations and parties that have gone on in that space. It’s a big space, probably what you’d think of as a rumpus room. There are plenty of options for people who live here.”<img alt="17-talbot-street-forrest-2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-talbot-street-forrest-2.width-800.jpg" width="800">The new part is entirely living space, including living, dining and sunroom spaces.An entry hall connects the two halves, with stairs rising up to another level, adding another living space, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom.What’s immediately apparent is how impossible it is to tell them apart. There isn’t a crumby side and a flash side. Both are tied together by a unified cord of beautiful natural materials, including timber and slate. Built-in wooden storage and curtain rails add a pleasant classic touch.“It’s got that galley style and it’s been nicely updated as well, with a formal dining room and nice living room,” Ben says.“There are plenty of flexible living options.”<img alt="17-talbot-street-forrest-4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-talbot-street-forrest-4.width-800.jpg" width="800">The master bedroom scores a freshly renovated ensuite, glimmeringly tiled from floor to ceiling and fitted out with a spa.Ben says that people who walk through the doors for the first time will appreciate the work that has gone into it, as well as the countless living options.“Ultimately, it’s going to be bought by someone who wants to put their own touch on the home.”It’s close to the shopping centres of Manuka, Kingston and beyond. Factor in the incredible public and private local schools and Ben says, “your family will be proud to call 17 Talbot Street home for generations to come”.“We’ve had plenty of enquiries and strong interest, with more expected over the next week or two.”<img alt="17-talbot-street-forrest-3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-talbot-street-forrest-3.width-800.jpg" width="800">This home will be auctioned online on Wednesday, 24 November, at 3 pm.To find out more about <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-talbot-street-forrest-act-2603-49499/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">17 Talbot Street</a> in Forrest, or arrange an inspection, contact <a href="/agents/ben-faulks/">Ben Faulks</a> on 0432 028 645 or <a href="/agents/jake-battenally/">Jake Battenally</a> on 0413 313 676.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/all-things-natural-are-woven-into-this-sprawling-forrest-home/508687" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>
