Overflowing with space and surrounded by greenery, <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/28-dryandra-street-oconnor-act-2602/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">28 Dryandra Street</a> in O’Connor is a very special home that has a lot to get excited about.The home makes a big first impression with its space. Set on an 812 sqm corner block, with seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across two floors, there’s room for everyone and ample opportunity to adjust the setup as demands require.“The home is a unique offering – two homes in one. A foyer creates a link between the stunning new build that sits atop the original home,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> agent <a href="/agents/ash-costello/">Ash Costello</a> says.<div>

The downstairs has been used as a rental, giving owners an extra stream of income, but it also makes the homes perfect for intergenerational living, and the bedrooms can be converted into study or hobby areas.“The entire home is very generously sized. There’s really no shortage of space,” Ash says.With a study, sunny foyer, two decks and a balcony, not to mention the garden, the home is perfect for a big family that needs to spread out.<img alt="28-dryandra-street-oconnor-act-2602-118955-image-0-20250320003249100727-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-dryandra-street-oconnor-act-2602-118955-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">The upstairs master bedroom is a story in itself, boasting an ensuite bathroom, walk-in robe, access to the sun-soaked balcony and, best of all, sweeping mountain and city views.“The home has a great elevated position, but the master has the best view. The current owners told me that they watch Skyfire and the Balloon Festival from their bedroom,” Ash says.The living area has been very thoughtfully created and the design centralises the views and light provided by the high position. That design process is most evident in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which beautifully pulls in the light from massive double-glazed windows.“The kitchen is very special. It has bespoke timber cabinetry, terrazzo benchtops, a Bosch dishwasher and, of course, a beautiful leafy aspect – that goes for the entire upstairs extension,” Ash says.The living area opens out onto the balcony, making it easy to shift dinner parties, get-togethers or family nights out among the trees.“The balcony overlooking the garden is very special, and the garden itself is a great established green space. When put together, it makes the top floor feel like a treehouse,” Ash says.The private garden houses mature veggie patches, meaning it is functional as well as visually stunning.<img alt="28-dryandra-street-oconnor-act-2602-118955-image-0-20250320003242805472-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-dryandra-street-oconnor-act-2602-118955-ima.width-800_W9kAVNc.jpg" width="800">The home’s location perfectly strikes the balance between convenience and quiet. The property is close to the city, just 10 minutes by car, yet it has all the best of a more suburban setting with access to great schools, nature trails and the most valuable asset – peace.“The locale is perfect, very close to Black Mountain and its tracks and parks, yet within walking distance of schools and local shops,” Ash says.The property is full of features that make daily living a breeze. Timed irrigation on the wraparound gardens, five water tanks, a 5 kW solar system, an auto door on the double garage and privacy screens on the balcony do so much to make the home easy to maintain and move-in ready.Thoughtfully designed, versatile and bursting with features that excite, 28 Dryandra Street is a rare kind of family home that you’ll never want to leave.28 Dryandra Street, O&#x27;Connor goes to auction Saturday 12 April at 9:30am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/28-dryandra-street-oconnor-act-2602/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/incredible-seven-bedroom-home-in-oconnor-has-room-for-everyone/854116" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

A masterclass in design: This O’Connor home elevates living—literally

This penthouse epitomises style and space and never compromises.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">701/71 Constitution Avenue</a> is a four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in Campbell that offers the best of apartment and house living in a one-of-a-kind package.“There’s nothing quite like it in Canberra. It is unique,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/bastion-property-group/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bastion Property</a> agent <a href="/agents/antony-damiano-5/">Antony Damiano</a> says.<img alt="701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612-118861-image-0-2025031823_Q9MJnCP-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612-1.width-800.jpg" width="800">Occupying the entire top floor of the building with more than 300 sqm of internal space, the property is a true penthouse, which means privacy, views and an unbeatable lifestyle.The home’s biggest draw is a private terrace featuring an outdoor entertaining area with a barbecue and outdoor kitchen, firepit, low-maintenance gardens and a private heated pool looking out to Lake Burley Griffin.“The outdoor entertaining potential is limitless with 278 sqm of private terrace and the private pool. The terrace also has views of the National Library, the lake and, of course, Mt Ainslie,” Antony says.The views are central to the home’s design.“The panorama is breathtaking and constantly changes through the seasons, sunsets and sunrises – it is beautiful.”With floor-to-ceiling windows, the views are brought to the forefront at every turn, while a large skylight brings more light into the north-facing open living space.“The skylight is a really special part of the home. It makes the home so bright and welcoming,” Antony says.“It’s rare for apartment living to introduce skylights. It just goes back to the fact that this is truly a home in the sky – without compromise.”<img alt="701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612-118861-image-0-2025031823_wmbHg7v-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612-1.width-800_TK7cisd.jpg" width="800">The living area connects seamlessly with the kitchen and allows for easy entertaining while also providing segregated spaces for privacy through thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing additions like the fireplace centrepiece.“The space inside is fantastic. Everything is open while still giving you more intimate areas with the fireplace. You could easily host a function here with 100 people,” Antony says.The quality and thoughtfulness of the entire penthouse are reflected in the kitchen with a timeless, sleek design centred around a stunning single slab natural stone benchtop.“The kitchen, like the rest of the home, is custom designed and, of course, completely brand new. It’s just waiting for someone to move in,” Antony says.A home chef will be thrilled at the kitchen’s features: Swedish V-Zug appliances, fully integrated fridges and a 170-bottle Vintec wine storage.The designers went to great lengths to include the lifestyle features and amenities expected from a home of this calibre. Everything has been thought of.“The property has a three-car garage with an additional car space, a private lobby entrance, and it occupies the entirety of the floor. The penthouse has all the best features of an apartment while being a private home in the sky,” Antony says.Made with a family in mind, the home has four large bedrooms including a master with an ensuite and walk-in robe and a special guest room with an ensuite.“There’s great potential here for a family. The master has beautiful views and a custom walk-in robe, and each of the other bedrooms is very special, too. The guest suite works perfectly for out-of-town visitors or older kids,” Antony says.<img alt="701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612-118861-image-0-2025032007_u2u2Zcg-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612-1.width-800_veWqHRI.jpg" width="800">The location could not be better. Situated in the central suburb of Campbell, all the best of Canberra is within arm’s reach.“It’s about five minutes to everywhere, which means great parks, the lake and national institutions. That’s to say nothing of the restaurants – the best of Canberra’s food scene is on your doorstep,” Antony says.A penthouse like this coming on the market is exceptionally rare. Simply put, Canberra doesn’t have many homes like this, a stunning residence offering privacy, custom design, views to die for, and indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces with a private heated pool.“There’s almost too much to talk about. You really have to see it to understand how special it is,” Antony says.701/71 Constitution Avenue, Campbell goes to auction Saturday 12 April at 10:30am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/701-71-constitution-avenue-campbell-act-2612/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/theres-nothing-quite-like-it-in-canberra-campbell-penthouse-in-the-sky-is-simply-breathtaking/854109" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Campbell’s most exclusive penthouse redefines apartment living

Spacious and flexible with endless possibilities, <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">15 Rosenthal Street</a> is a five-bedroom three-bathroom home brimming with features and surprises.<div>

</div>
The property is large and versatile, with four separate living spaces, three big bedrooms upstairs, a sunny foyer and two entirely self contained apartments downstairs with their own kitchens and bathrooms.“There are so many opportunities here,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.byholly</a> owner <a href="/agents/holly-komorowski/">Holly Komorowski</a> says.“The apartments have history as rentals but they easily suit as retreats for older kids or even for a multi-generational set-up, it’s all possible.”The home allows for just about any living situation: spaces can be changed as kids come and go, living spaces can easily be swapped to hobby areas and the studios work as investment rentals.“The property is an amazing investment. The dynamism of the apartments and all the rooms mean that the home can be changed as needs demand,” Holly says.<img alt="15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612-117397-image-0-20250220035715994425-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612-117397-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">It’s easy to assume that a home with this many bedrooms would have them on the smaller side, but the master suite, the upstairs bedrooms and even the downstairs studios are all huge, and they feel even grander because of their huge windows and high ceilings.“There’s no shortage of space,” Holly says.There’s also no lack of style.The blonde double brick looks great and keeps the home cool in summer and warm in winter while the original hardwood floor adds a beautiful touch of personality and colour to the sun-drenched living spaces.But the home isn’t stuck in the last century, the updated bathrooms and renovated kitchen with Bosch appliances mean the home is modern in the ways that count, without doing away with the little touches that people love like the timber joinery, timber built-in robes and wrought iron balustrades on the balcony.<img alt="15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612-117397-image-0-20250220035718125311-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612-117397-i.width-800_V4HIT0J.jpg" width="800">“They’ve done extensive renovations and the use of space is fantastic,” Holly says.The kitchen is open-plan, connecting with the dining area and the terrace overlooking the garden to create an open space perfect for entertaining.With quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, and a refreshed look with plenty of storage options, it’s a delight for an enthusiast chef.“The kitchen has been done beautifully, and it steps out onto the covered terrace overlooking the garden. It is perfect for evening meals or Friday drinks,” Holly says.The garden itself is big, like the rest of the home, with established fruiting trees and elevated veggie patches waiting for the home horticulturalist to get planting and start producing.<img alt="15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612-117397-image-0-20250220035717569224-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612-117397-i.width-800_seC6ypy.jpg" width="800">Located on an elevated street in Campbell, literally 5 minutes from Civic, with Mount Ainslie Reserve and local schools within walking distance, it’s hard to ask for a better location.“You can’t beat the location, for access to the city, major roads to head over the lake, it’s all so easy,” Holly says.Little features like solar power, ducted gas heating, automatic sun awnings and a garden shed make the home easy to manage, unlike many large homes, size doesn’t mean more effort.On all fronts, 15 Rosenthal Street exceeds expectations for a suburban home, with its charming finishes, new renovations, expansive feeling and adjustability … it’s hard to imagine who it won’t suit.15 Rosenthal Street, Campbell goes to auction Saturday 15 March at 12:30pm.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/15-rosenthal-street-campbell-act-2612/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/campbell-home-is-full-of-very-pleasant-surprises/850399" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

</div>
The home has a unique blend of old and new with a classic Canberra exterior and a modern, renovated interior that still maintains the timeless charm of the original home.“It’s very special to have a heritage home with two new bathrooms and a new kitchen – you can have it both ways here,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/nbhd-agency/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NBHD</a> agent <a href="/agents/ryan-hedley14/">Ryan Hedley</a> says.Timber floors, a massive garden and a beautiful deck maintain that small, almost cottage-like feel despite its new additions.The home has a practical open kitchen plan, next to a dining area large enough for a six-seat dining table – perfect for informal dinners or to help the kids with their homework as the evening meal is prepared. The kitchen and dining area flow to a large family room, and there’s also a large living room.“The home has a lot of charm. It has a cottage kind of comfort, but it’s modern where it counts,” Ryan says.<img alt="4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602-117674-image-0-20250226012142582372-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602-117674-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">The home’s foyer makes a stunning first impression. It’s practically a sunroom and does a great job of bringing the outside in.Big windows, sun-drenched living spaces, wood touches and high ceilings make the home bright and warm throughout and add character wherever you turn.The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a beautifully updated ensuite with a shower, while the second bedroom has an even larger footprint. Both present wonderful leafy aspects from large windows.<img alt="4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602-117674-image-0-20250226012154374300-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602-117674-ima.width-800_29RIDyq.jpg" width="800">The home is ideally set up for a family looking to live where the action is. Located in the inner north suburb of Ainslie right next to Limestone Avenue, it’s just about as central as a home can be.But that amazing location near parks, schools and Civic doesn’t mean a compromise on space.The property is set on a huge block that’s certain to excite anyone who loves to garden.“It’s 1000 sqm of prime Ainslie land – there’s so much you could do with the space. There’s heaps of room for kids to enjoy, or it’d be easy to put on an extension to the home, while a green thumb could really go wild in the garden,” Ryan says.The garden features established trees, lush green grass, a cubby house and veggie patches ready for planting.“The outdoor space is beautifully set up. It easily accommodates a home gardener, and it’s wonderful to look at,” Ryan says.The best place to relax and enjoy the garden is the deck. Accessed from the living space by big sliding doors, the deck gets heaps of sunlight, looking at it you can already picture mornings with a cup of coffee.“It’s a great space. If you want to relax or entertain, there’s really nothing better than a deck, summer dinners, lazy Sundays watching the garden, inviting mates over … it’s all on the cards,” Ryan says.<img alt="4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602-117674-image-0-20250226012210447471-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602-117674-ima.width-800_h388vXZ.jpg" width="800">The home embodies the best of what the inner north has to offer, with parks and schools nearby and the best shopping and food in Canberra within walking distance.“It’s a lifestyle home, and it’s classically Ainslie. The combination of space and convenience makes this suburb so attractive. It’s so close to Corroboree Park and the city, the location is second to none,” Ryan says.With a great location, stunning outdoor space and the charm of a historic home updated with modern additions, 4 Higgins Crescent is a truly special home.4 Higgins Crescent, Ainslie goes to auction Saturday 29 March at 10:30AM.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/4-higgins-crescent-ainslie-act-2602/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/history-location-and-timeless-appeal-in-picture-perfect-ainslie/848751" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Brilliantly located with a design focused on light, air and space, it is everything a family home should be.This newly renovated red brick home has the best of both worlds: the solidity and permanence of a 60s construction that will stand the test of time, but with an interior that is fresh and modern, with a simple but refined focus on making every space as bright and sunny as possible.“There’s plenty of modern styling, but the exterior has that classic red brick look that people love so much in Canberra homes of that era,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/canberry/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Canberry Properties</a> director <a href="/agents/melissa-martin-smith-2/">Melissa Martin-Smith</a> says.The home has been in the same family for decades and it shows the love and care that that kind of long-term ownership brings.“It’s been a much-loved family home for 50 years; offerings of a home like this on such a generously sized block are rare,” Melissa says.<img alt="9-phillip-avenue-watson-act-2602-115749-image-4-20250123012544780127-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-phillip-avenue-watson-act-2602-115749-image-.width-800.jpg" width="800">The renovations have completely updated the interior, from the hybrid timber floors to the new kitchen with integrated dishwasher and marbled countertops, the rain shower and even a few touches outside like the restoration of the deep-blue timber panelling. Everything is new and waiting for the next owner.“It’s been brought up to date. It’s got a warm, lovely feel, and there’s nothing more for the buyer to do. It’s completely hassle-free and ready to move in,” Melissa says.That warm feeling comes from the airiness and light in the home that permeates throughout. The renovated, never-used open-plan kitchen pulls in the light with its big, northerly facing windows.The kitchen connects to the dining and living rooms, creating a large, open communal space ideal for entertaining and family meals.The living/dining area connects to the sunroom, creating a great space to sit, relax, and take in the sunshine. It also has a beautiful view of the garden from the floor-to-ceiling windows.The master bed has a built-in robe and a prime northerly aspect for soaking in the morning light.<img alt="9-phillip-avenue-watson-act-2602-115749-image-16-20250123012548373084-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-phillip-avenue-watson-act-2602-115749-image-.width-800_QjGFVKG.jpg" width="800">The sunroom leads out to the backyard, and what first strikes you is its size and low-maintenance character.The backyard/garden already has veggie patches, a fruiting olive tree, a pear tree, a fig tree and plenty of space for kids to run around and kick a ball while the parents sit and relax in the alfresco dining area on the patio.“The veggie patches are already in and ready for a green thumb. It’s all there and ready for extra planting, and the outdoor area is perfect for big parties and barbeques – you could have 20-40 people out there enjoying themselves,” Melissa says.It’s an ideal home for families, situated within convenient walking distance of transport, shops and schools. The Watson shops nearby also have great options for dining, coffee and more.“It’s the perfect first home, especially for a young family with kids. There are schools nearby and the backyard means they have room to play safely,” Melissa says.This home has so much to offer for a young family or first-home buyer: a newly renovated home with the charm of decades of maintenance and care, with an established garden, great new features, and within walking distance of the great amenities that make central suburbs like Watson so desirable.9 Phillip Avenue, Watson is taking offers over $1,050,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/9-phillip-avenue-watson-act-2602/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/a-red-brick-canberra-classic-with-modern-renovations-and-tasteful-restorations/840543" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Newly renovated red brick home has the best of both world

Fresh from completing its other modern, sleek apartment buildings, <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/art-group/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Art Group</a> has begun construction on Vermillion at Dickson.Due for completion by the end of 2025, Vermillion offers a wide range of off-the-plan dwellings, from studios to three-bedroom apartments, penthouses and two-storey townhouses. Art Group seeks to accommodate investors, first-home buyers and established families.<div>

“This is a boutique, unique development with only eight storeys but over 40 different floorplans. There’s something for every kind of buyer or investor,” Art Group sales director <a href="/agents/rita-feng-2/">Rita Feng</a> says.Aspect, position and location are big parts of any apartment block, and Vermillion couldn’t be better placed.<img alt="Vermillion_S070_INT_LivingKitchen_Final_2500-960x640" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Vermillion_S070_INT_LivingKitchen_Final_2500-9.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Most of the apartments have an uninterrupted view of Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura on the east, and the apartments on the west have a view of Black Mountain,” Rita says.When it comes to the design of the interior spaces, nothing was neglected in the planning of these stylish homes. Meticulously planned and designed by Steward Architecture, the apartments are characterised by a timeless, simple, functional elegance that Art Group has a reputation for after the success of its award-winning Kashmir and Mulberry buildings in Dickson.“Everything has been designed to the ‘Art’ standard,” Rita says. ”The dwellings are more spacious than your typical apartment. We’ve utilised a floating design in the kitchen, with quality Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances and elegant planning in the kitchen.”<img alt="vermillion-dickson-act-2602-218-image-0-20241125234045330157-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="888" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/vermillion-dickson-act-2602-218-image-0-202411.width-800.jpg" width="800">The unified design vision carries all the way through; the bathroom has the same thought and care as the living and cooking spaces.“The bathrooms are built with customised stone benchtops, recessed toilets and floor-to-ceiling towel racks,” Rita says.The Vermillion building also offers an amazing array of communal and outdoor spaces. With a landscaped rooftop garden, a gym with a yoga room, and a communal workspace, it’s perfect for those who work from home but still want a dedicated workspace free from distractions.“People think that apartments lack the outdoor space of houses. Not here,” Rita says. ”The lush landscaped rooftop garden has a barbecue and eating area, and the penthouses have their own private gardens.”<img alt="Vermillion_S080_INT_Kitchen_FINAL_2500-960x640" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Vermillion_S080_INT_Kitchen_FINAL_2500-960x640.width-800.jpg" width="800">The location on Northbourne Avenue is ideal, within walking distance of the light rail down to the city centre, as well as restaurants, cafes and schools. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better place to be for work, leisure and convenience.“It’s a perfect location. Transport, amenities, cultural activities and food are all close, but it’s still a quiet place without the noise associated with the city,” Rita says.Already under construction, Vermillion is a one-of-a-kind opportunity: a planned, architecturally designed, unique building with a great diversity of offerings for all family types and sizes. It is an ideal location for both work and play, with plenty of communal living space. The development is backed by an established firm with a 20-year reputation for quality buildings designed and built for Canberra.Vermillion, at 280 Northbourne Avenue, Dickson has properties ranging from $440,000 to $1,890,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/developments/vermillion-dickson-act-2602/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/space-and-comforts-abound-at-vermillions-unique-stylish-apartments/839136" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Vermillion at Dickson: Art Group's latest masterpiece redefines urban living

A three-bedroom cottage with a stunning garden and what can only be described as simple provincial charm has hit the market in a suburb of Canberra that’s a little surprising.Number <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1 Wirria Crescent, Ngunnawal</a>, is not like most other homes in 2913. With a simple layout and pastel colour palette, the home is 1990s Canberra floorplan meets Martha Stewart.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093212028776-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">And just to add to the cuteness — it comes with a French-speaking agent!Sales agent Damien Neron from Luton Gungahlin says he saw the potential in the property the second he saw it, mostly because of its enchanting gardens, which he describes as “a haven”.The established gardens are home to multiple outdoor entertaining areas and a series of mature fruit trees, including cherry, peach, apple, and lemon trees. The enclosed, gated backyard features a double carport, a workshop shed and additional storage sheds.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093217404110-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_drPUaVD.jpg" width="800">“The garden is just beautiful,” Damien says.“There are several ponds, ways to entertain, a cubby house for the kids that matches the main house and my favourite, the gazebo.“The entire property has been meticulously looked after by the current owners and it shows in every detail.”Built in 1993, the north Canberra home has been modernised to include wooden floorboards and wood design features, and an upgraded kitchen and bathroom.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093214412738-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_YCiRgJ2.jpg" width="800">“You can tell that the upgrades were really considered and executed well,” Damien says.“The heart of the property is its light-filled open-plan living area, where natural light pours in.“The renovated kitchen is stylish and practical; it has a Bosch dishwasher, and modern appliances, including a gas cooktop and electric oven.”LED downlights, evaporative cooling and gas heating ensure the home is comfortable year-round.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093215072768-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_Y6cgIL6.jpg" width="800">Though it’s located “in the heart” of Ngunnawal, the small pocket of Wirria Circuit that the home is located on is “whisper quiet”, according to Damien.“It’s also opposite a park, which is perfect for families with small children,” he says.“Convenience is another standout feature.“The home is a four-minute walk to Ngunnawal Shops and a 10-minute walk to Ngunnawal Primary School. It has easy access to Gungahlin Drive and Mirrabei Drive for commuters.”<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093215740809-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_qtlUWla.jpg" width="800">If you love the charm of this property though you’ll need to act quickly. Around 20 groups went through at the open home last weekend.“It’s incredibly popular because it’s simple and you can move in with nothing to do,” Damien says.Number 1 Wirria Circuit, Ngunnawal, is for sale by negotiation.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

Gorgeous country cottage in a secluded spot now available in … Ngunnawal?!

It’s the kind of property that makes you immediately start daydreaming about the possibilities.‘I could have one as an Airbnb and one as my retreat for offering tarot services,’ I thought, the second I stumbled across the listing for <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">34 Jacobs Street, Evatt</a>.‘Or my two teenagers could live in one tiny home each, and I could have the house all to myself.’<img alt="34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0-20250107031955263244-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">Number 34 Jacobs Street seems like a standard three-bedroom, one-bathroom home in the middle of Evatt. But it’s the two tiny homes, designed to look like old Gypsy caravans and set out on a huge 945sqm block, that make it a very unique offering.Both tiny homes are handcrafted from cedar and fully equipped with a bathroom, waterless toilet, kitchenette and heating. One tiny home is located at the front of the property, for easy access, while the other is tucked under some trees behind the main house for privacy.<img alt="34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0-20250107031952628868-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0.width-800_Qi5uPaq.jpg" width="800">“The property is currently owned by an urban artist who lives a somewhat alternative lifestyle,” says sales agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/treston-bamber/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Treston Bamber</a> from Ray White Canberra.“From the mural on the double garage to the tiny homes themselves, there’s an opportunity to do something different with this property.“The current owner has had one of the homes as an Airbnb and made around $30,000 last year.”<img alt="34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0-20250107031940113118-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0.width-800_fTF5Ekg.jpg" width="800">On the flip side, it would be relatively easy to pare back the quirky features at 34 Jacobs Street and live in a cosy home set in stunning surroundings.“The battle axe block means there’s no noise from the street,” Treston says.“And the property backs onto a reserve. There’s a gate that opens and takes you immediately into parkland. It’s beautiful.”<img alt="34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0-20250107031945796273-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0.width-800_vElIkTC.jpg" width="800">The listing describes what it’s like to sit outside on the property during the day: “Relax over a long brunch while finches, cockatoos and friendly magpies sing in the gardens. Plus a stunning view of colourful Rosellas, flowering raspberries, strawberries, boysenberries, blueberries, kiwis and citrus trees supplying abundant quantities of delicious fresh fruit for the new owners. The large yard is fully fenced with grassy space for kids and pets.”<img alt="34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0-20250107031946924292-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0.width-800_smHiiK2.jpg" width="800">Treston expects the home will be bought either by someone “looking for something very different”, or by a young professional or a couple looking to renovate.“There wouldn’t be too much to do as the bathroom has been modernised and the huge back deck is ready to go for entertaining,” he says.<img alt="34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0-20241121051945653908-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617-112674-image-0.width-800_HWDpKDc.jpg" width="800">Evatt itself is undergoing somewhat of a renaissance, Treston says, with lots of first home owners buying the suburb’s affordable 1970s and 80s homes and giving them major upgrades.Number 34 Jacobs Street goes to auction on Sunday 2 February 2025 as part of Ray White Canberra’s Summer Showcase Auction Event at the Hyatt Hotel. The event will begin at 9.30am, and a more indicative time for this particular auction will be provided closer to the date.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/34-jacobs-street-evatt-act-2617/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing for this property.</a>

'Definitely different': Evatt home comes with two gypsy-style tiny homes

This classic Ainslie cottage has been given the contemporary touch and offers the chance to take up residence in a coveted inner-north locale with everything on your doorstep.Selling agent <a href="/agents/holly-komorowski/">Holly Komorowski</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.byholly</a> said while the location of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">70 Wakefield Avenue</a> is a highlight, it’s the elegant and clever finishes that will also stand out to buyers.<div>

“An avenue of glass connects the new extension to the original cottage and provides some real flexibility in terms of living space. The floorplan offers an opportunity for both connection and retreat,” Holly explains.“It could be a multi-generational home because you could really take advantage of the two wings if you wanted to as the main bedroom has its own living area and is separate from the other two bedrooms, which are on the opposing side of the home.”<img alt="70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008-image-0-20240927011820643191-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008-im.width-800.jpg" width="800">Holly said the entire three-bedroom, two-bathroom property has a “monastic calm” about it, and the external brickwork adds a little touch of Art Deco into the mix.“I really love the way the red brick has been integrated with the render on the exterior of this home,” she said.“There are some clever design touches in the way they have used the red bricks around entryways and windows and it gives it quite a distinct look. It’s a lovely contrast.“Another very nice finish inside is where they have incorporated several recessed wall niches where you could place vases or special ornaments. This is a great way of displaying flowers or figurines without additional furniture being needed.“The home has a neutral and organic palette, and its orientation to the north with lots of east-facing windows means a very light-filled footprint.”<img alt="70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008-image-0-20240927011812758829-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008-im.width-800_ZIMi8Rt.jpg" width="800">Originally built in the 1930s, the double brick cottage is nestled behind tall green hedges, softened by the colour and texture of its gardens. There’s an outdoor deck as well as a covered pergola which has been finished with heritage terracotta tiles and marries in with the look of the house.The property features high ceilings, polished original timber floorboards and new hardwood floors, a kitchen with banks of timber cabinetry and a laundry with bespoke timber shelving. One of the bedrooms boasts a wall of custom shelving and another opens out to merge with the outdoor decking area.<img alt="70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008-image-0-20240927011811832617-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008-im.width-800_yHgwvSJ.jpg" width="800">Famously a part of Marion Mahony Griffin and Walter Burley Griffin’s original <a href="https://www.griffinsociety.org/urban-planning/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">garden city design</a>, Wakefield Gardens is a quiet loop street that encircles parkland. The home is within walking distance of the bustling Ainslie shops, home to Edgar’s gastro pub, the award-winning IGA and hatted <a href="https://www.pilotrestaurant.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pilot Restaurant</a>.“There’s only a small amount of properties that sit within these protected areas, and the advantage of that is you aren’t going to get a towering new home built next to you or something that impinges on the look and feel of the streetscape,” said Holly.“There’s a lot of people that will be very attracted to that, given there’s so much redevelopment happening in these older areas. Heritage is valuable, and I see this as a real advantage for this home.“To find a home like this, in this area, that’s already had improvement to an original cottage and investment made is going to draw some interest.“The location is fantastic, it’s a real epicentre, and there’s accessibility in every direction.”Many of Canberra’s best schools are at your doorstep here and the ANU is not far. The home is close to transport, including the light rail, which will whisk you straight into the CBD.The property is open for inspection on Saturday, 28 September, from 10:15 am to 10:45 am and Wednesday, 2 October, from 4:15 pm to 4:45 pm.70 Wakefield Avenue, Ainslie goes to auction 11:00am Saturday 19 October.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/70-wakefield-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-109008/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/a-cottage-with-a-contemporary-touch-in-the-coveted-sanctum-of-ainslie-offers-connection-and-retreat/812313" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Classic Ainslie cottage has been given the contemporary touch

News

On a plane somewhere between Australia and Fiji, Cristina San Martin was thankful she’d “worn the brown undies”.It was 2008, and the Palmerston public servant was taking an unbelievable risk. The kind of risk most people never take.She was on her way back to Fiji just six weeks after holidaying with her best friend in Nadi. On the final day of her vacation, she’d very briefly met a tall and handsome Fijian staff member. They’d smiled at each other and shaken hands. The moment was fleeting but Cristina just knew: he was the one.<img alt="IMG_3093" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1016" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3093.width-800.jpg" width="800">Now, she was on her way back to the resort to find him. To marry him.He, of course, had no idea. As Cristina flew over the Coral Sea, a million questions filled her head: What if he was already married? What if he had sworn religious vows never to marry? What if he was gay?“I can happily say he was single,” Cristina laughs.“Was he shocked when I came back and declared my love? That’s an understatement.”Cristina and Tomasi dated on and off, flying between countries, over 12 months before marrying in an “unusual” ceremony in Tomasi’s home town, Korovuto Village. Cristina realised that marrying one Fijian meant marrying them all.<img alt="The Wedding Day (167)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="535" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/The_Wedding_Day_167.width-800.jpg" width="800">“There’s a ‘what’s yours is mine’ part of the Fijian culture that I had never known about,” she says.“And that means everything: including money, food and cars.“An hour into my wedding reception, everything had been taken. The buffet was bare, there was empty space where the Margarita-fountain had been and my wedding cake was nowhere in sight.”Living in an island paradise was bliss but the need for stability, security and to be near Cristina’s family meant the couple packed their suitcases and headed back to the capital to make a permanent home.Back in north Canberra, Tomasi got his first taste of Australian life. Despite visiting family in Sydney occasionally and connecting with the local Fijian community, he found life in Canberra hard.<img alt="The Wedding Day (110)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="535" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/The_Wedding_Day_110.width-800.jpg" width="800">“He hated the cold because life in Fiji was always warm and nice, and the island weather was amazing,” Cristina says.“It was hard for him to adjust. He found it hard to adapt to the independent way we live in Australia, and couldn’t understand that we didn’t even know who our neighbours were.“Fiji is all about communal living. Everybody is in each other&#x27;s lives and living in a communal way.“He found it isolating and often commented about the big disparity between having people to talk to and visit all the time in Fiji, versus our lives in Australia where it was just me and him, or my immediate family.”<img alt="IMG_3091" class="richtext-image full-width" height="611" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_3091.width-800.jpg" width="800">Cristina and Tomasi’s story is at the core of her debut novel, Married to Fiji. The novel uncovers the cultural clashes between island life and a ‘built on purpose’ city in Australia.Did the couple manage to stay together despite the massive differences of where they were raised?“Let’s just say our surroundings influence our happiness, and our happiness influences how we are with our partners,” Cristina says.“But it was more about where we were as individuals and as a couple. We were both quite young when we got married. We were a lot younger then, and now, we have the insight that we&#x27;re all responsible for our own happiness.”Married to Fiji is available <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Married-Fiji-Tale-Based-Story-ebook/dp/B0CQRKXNJF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1SDAJMOQOBR48&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4gO58NrCocLuaqXAybxYZnZKwVjEtFhlIPUkOiODvBsDc9G_E-yCX9s-1Xzu2LrbXTcrQ25e6Dimc8LptOJMxLM6hBnRmx75h00rYbNXQxBKasYaU_lvwvzXdfBVSJVJ-No_msUBoPEe7_3xyfGyvHNUODwxnXMXIoqbo-xmalkbYY_wefyzAXYLfbAc00Dq.Af5Z9ptFkxuTlcXi_GmgGMH2V0eieEHO_k9aWWOgtjg&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=married+to+fiji&amp;qid=1727312622&amp;sprefix=married+to+fiji%2Caps%2C652&amp;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in the Amazon store</a>.

<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White</a> licensed agent <a href="/agents/samuel-fitzsimmons/">Samuel Fitzsimmons</a> says the detail and love put into the house is unlike anything he’s ever seen.“The home was built in a way that it feels like a home rather than a spec home,” Samuel says.“They have just thought about everything, from a double study to make working from home as easy as possible to the underfloor heating.“It’s a newly built house, but they have already made it a home.”<img alt="43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094-image-0-20240604024834019195-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094-imag.width-800_McsTwDT.jpg" width="800">From the second you walk into the house, you will feel welcomed by the sun-soaked warmth, while a commanding raked ceiling gives it an air of light and space that is instantly relaxing.The kitchen offers enough room to make all your cooking dreams come true, complete with gorgeous 40 mm stone waterfall benchtops, Bosch applicants, generous plumbed fridge space, masses of pantry space and a large double sink with spray-brushed nickel pull-down mixer.The island bench even has an LED colour change lighting feature that can take you from bright work lights to calming ambient lights for evening and entertaining.<img alt="43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094-image-0-20240604024835116027-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">Samuel says the location of the laundry has also been perfectly placed.“The fact that the laundry is located next to the kitchen and is so well thought out, it could even be used as a butler’s pantry for when you want to entertain,” Samuel says.Another exceptional feature of the lower level are the double-glazed sliding doors that take you from the kitchen and inside living area directly out to the secluded backyard, making entertaining a breeze.The master bedroom features a luxurious ensuite, a walk-in robe and jaw-dropping views of Mt Majura from the sizeable double-glazed window.The second bedroom has views to Black Mountain Tower and beyond.<img alt="43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094-image-0-20240604024839556635-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094-imag.width-800_SkZNkzb.jpg" width="800">Downstairs, the third bedroom, a king-sized bedroom on its own floor, is the perfect abode for teenagers looking to have their own space, or it would make a great home office.A double study located upstairs provides plenty of space for working from home and studying in the same room, complete with built-in desks and cabinetry, ample charging points and connection to the NBN.The builders, New Style Build and Contrust, and Adhami Pender Architects, have gone above and beyond to ensure comfort and convenience all wrapped up into one humble home in Canberra’s north.Samuel says that, above all, the location is hard to beat.“You’re smack bang between the Hackett and Watson shops, less than a 10-minute drive to the city and a 20-minute bike ride to the Australian National University.”43 Gilbert Street, Hackett goes to auction Saturday 29 June at 2:30pm.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/43-gilbert-street-hackett-act-2602-102094/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/built-by-our-family-for-yours-beautiful-home-in-hackett-awaits-you/775366" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
