The Macgregor home that stopped us scrolling in our tracks

With stunning natural timber finishes and a mix of rich textures, this Belconnen home has the entire Zango team in awe.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom architectural masterpiece is set on a 958sqm block at 58 Osburn Drive, Macgregor.

Badenoch Real Estate agent Symon Badenoch says the range of raw material and the use of glass, from terrazzo to natural timbers and polished gunmetal accents, is one of the highlights of the north Canberra home.


“58 Osburn Drive is a fully renovated and extended home that features immaculate attention to detail,” Symon says.

“It’s simply stunning.

“What catches your eye the most is the design and layout of the home. It features a parents’ retreat on the upper level with a huge master bedroom, walk-through robe, ensuite, private balcony and also a second living area which is ideal for the parents to relax away from the rest of the family.”

As you enter the 297sqm home on the ground floor, you're greeted with a formal lounge which leads to a huge open-plan living space.

“My favourite part of the home is the gourmet-sized kitchen with butler’s pantry as it overlooks the entire space,” Symon says.

“The colour scheme is also appealing - it's highlighted by natural timbers and a really soft palette with neutral tones all the way through.”

The butler’s pantry is fitted with stone benchtops, a separate sink, overhead storage, cupboards, fridge space and a storage nook.

“Another standout is the amount of natural light captured throughout the home by raked ceilings, multiple Velux skylights and double-glazed windows," Symon says.

All four bedrooms are large and feature built-in robes.

“The bedrooms are all double-sized and there’s also a second master bedroom with its own ensuite," Symon says.

The neutral tones and natural timber features extend through the home, including the two ensuites and generous main bathroom with separate toilet. An additional powder room on the ground floor services the family room and outdoor entertaining space.

The covered alfresco area is made from recycled hardwood and includes lighting and ceiling fans, with direct access from the open-plan living area.

Symon says the backyard is perfect for family gatherings and entertaining.

“The key standout has to be the recycled timber; it’s unique and uncommon to see in this area,” he says.

“Colorbond roofing, the beautifully landscaped garden and the feature lighting outside are also a nice touch to the home.”

The location of the home is almost a feature in its own right. It’s close to quality schools and Kippax Fair, which offers grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, and gym facilities, and is situated around parks, walking trails and bike paths.

“This elevated home in Macgregor is really well located and close to all of the arterial roads that link through to the city and into the Belconnen Town Centre,” Symon says.

“It’s perfect for families who want something that’s key-ready – meaning it’s simply ready to go. It's the kind of home that can stay in a family for generations, with all the hard work completed.”
