Canberra's most beautiful bathroom just hit the market in Kambah

What if your bathroom needed modernising but you were so in love with its mid-1970s tiles you couldn’t bear to part with them?

Well then you’d do what the owner of 6 Schubert Place, Kambah, did: painstakingly remove, clean and then retile the bathroom with them. Talk about a huge job, but just look at the result: a beautiful, sunshiney, retro space that would make you feel happy every morning, even on the greyest of days.

The bathroom is gorgeous but as we explored more of this unassuming two-storey home in Canberra's biggest suburb, it just kept giving and giving.

Here are a few of our favourite things:

The spiral staircase.

Nothing says early 1980s glam like a set of winding stairs. Spiral staircases feed our inner child and we can see the bottom floor of this home turned into a magical children’s haven.

Vintage amber bottle glass doors.

Designed to give privacy between the front door and the rest of the home, amber bottle glass is a definite throwback to heading to your Nan and Pop’s house for Sunday night dinner.

Bright bedrooms (there are six!)

With a yellow bathroom at the centre of the home, the owners of 6 Schubert Place haven’t been afraid to splash colour throughout the bedrooms. The result is a happy vibe, and a series of spaces perfect for both sleep and play.

The Secret Garden.

The landscaped garden is full of little areas to discover; veggies and flowers are scattered throughout and we can imagine kids exploring outside for hours.

Number 6 Schubert Place, Kambah, goes to auction at 10.30am on Saturday 3 February 2024.
