“It’s full of cabinetry, timber detailing and real mid-century characteristics. It’s just enthralling,&quot; Holly says.&quot;You walk in and there’s a huge window in the living area with built-in cabinetry underneath and it just looks out across the gardens and Campbell.&quot;.The living and dining area introduces guests to the home’s clever in-built storage solutions, including wall-hung sideboards, bespoke window seating, a cocktail cabinet and open shelving.<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230914043142367857-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">Both rooms feature raw brick feature walls and whole-of-home hardwood flooring, while cedar doors enclose a sunken lounge with bevelled glass and warm timber panelling.“The attention to detail and integration of timber and glass plays to those modern, mid-century ideals of functionality and connection with the outdoors,” Holly says.<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230914043147277123-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800_aNMDJql.jpg" width="800">“Those really large expanses of glass enable the outdoors to become part of the day-to-day living because you’re always looking at a garden view.“There’s a lot of connectivity in the home between the different areas, but they are defined by levels and intricate metal railings.”Holly says the angled vintage kitchen bench, which overlooks the living area, is a perfect example of a space that draws people in and encourages socialising.<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230925010146729223-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800_IpJt2ha.jpg" width="800">The rest of the kitchen is well-equipped with white cabinetry and integrated modern Smeg and Miele appliances. It also features a tiled splashback and pretty garden views.A sunroom captures lots of northwestern light through massive windows and features a cosy gas fireplace, also creating a third living space.The home has three formal bedrooms (and a fourth flexible space), all complete with garden views, full-height original cabinetry and convenient access to the main bathroom.<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230925010148835601-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800_wuOkCcP.jpg" width="800">Holly says this same bathroom became an unexpected highlight at the first open home.“It faces east and the way the light was coming through into the aqua-teal bathroom with beautiful mosaic tiles on the floor was just gorgeous,” Holly explains.“Within the glass are some patterns with fish and just all these little touches that are so delightful and give you so much enjoyment.”<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230925010145574732-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800_3JlcIXc.jpg" width="800">The fourth flexible space downstairs has a kitchenette, laundry, bathroom, electric panel heating and a sunny sitting area that flows into the home’s paved outdoor barbecue area.The garden is enclosed by privacy hedging and richly planted with tree ferns, topiary shrubs, roses, maples, climbing wisteria and fig, veggie gardens, a palm tree and flowering magnolia.<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230925010149258144-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800_GveaUpY.jpg" width="800">A gate at the back of the garden leads directly to Mount Pleasant Nature Reserve’s walking trails, with Mount Ainslie and dining and shopping at the Campbell shops just a stone’s throw away.The suburb of Campbell shoulders Anzac Parade, the Australian War Memorial, Defence Academies and Lake Burley Griffin, with Braddon, the CBD, the ANU and public schools also nearby.<img alt="64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-image-0-20230914043148841922-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416-i.width-800_bLjznzH.jpg" width="800">“The home is in a really premium, beautiful pocket of Campbell,” Holly says.“A really healthy lifestyle is on offer in an area where you can use your bike to get around.”The home at 64 Gellibrand Street in Campbell will go to auction at 11am on Saturday 7 October 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/64-gellibrand-street-campbell-act-2612-86416/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/mid-century-masterpiece-a-really-magical-confluence-of-timber-and-glass/703802" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.

Stunning opportunity to own a piece of Canberra's modernist story

With a low, modernist façade, Home.byHolly real estate agent Sally Strang describes her listing, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">73 Banambila Street, Aranda</a>, as “quintessentially Aranda”.“It&#x27;s understated and blends beautifully with the bush surrounds,” Sally says.“The owners describe this house as a ‘secluded and private cave’, whose modest exterior hides a large, stylish layout and a soothing aesthetic of cool timber and bush views.“For me, the key features are the enormous floorplan with multiple living and entertaining zones, as the house has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three generous living spaces – but the show-stopper is the spectacular rear yard.”<div>

Sally says the versatile space could host multiple people “while maintaining an intimate, usable feel”.<img alt="73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-image-0-20221117233134166960-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-imag.width-800_Dk6aYYO.jpg" width="800">“The tones are warm and earthy with terracotta floor tiles, pale timber walls and black granite benchtops,&quot; she says.“It’s an amazing open space within the family room, featuring an oversized island bench and gas cooking, plus it’s directly connected with a wonderful outdoor entertaining space.“The outdoor entertaining space is protected by a huge covered pergola so you can entertain large groups all year round.”The home&#x27;s five large bedrooms have built-in robes and some have outdoor access.<img alt="73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-image-0-20221117233136276581-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-imag.width-800_T0pfKU1.jpg" width="800">“They’re set to the rear of the house, with grey bagged brick walls, bespoke timber cabinetry and striking floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that all connect with the lush rear garden, creating a tropical resort feel,” Sally says.“The vibe is very calming.“The master bedroom is really special – with a massive built-in robe plus ensuite featuring a large light well.”All three children’s bedrooms feature dressers and desks.<img alt="73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-image-0-20221117233135719941-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-imag.width-800_i4oVve4.jpg" width="800">On the other side of the home is the fifth bedroom, which also has an ensuite, walk-in-robe and street access.There are many alfresco spaces to enjoy at 73 Banambila Street, too.“To the south of the house we have the generous covered courtyard with two zones: a large space for an outdoor dining table, then a more relaxed lounge area where you might relax with a book or cook up a storm on the BBQ,” Sally says.“The north side offers another paved zone – sunshiny and gorgeous – then to the rear, we have another covered pergola with a water feature backdrop, paved space for another large table, plus, the house has a pool.“It’s an incredible house for entertaining.”<img alt="73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-image-0-20221117233140244166-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/73-banambila-street-aranda-act-2614-69957-imag.width-800_DJQU5Q0.jpg" width="800">Well-maintained, lush green gardens, beautiful gum trees and garden beds ready to plant herbs and vegetables are also featured.
