The kitchen splashback we never knew we needed: mermaid tiles [insert love heart eyes emoji].After a long Thursday in the Zango office we’re flicking through the kitchens we dream of installing in our future homes. Here are our three favourites from deep within suburban Canberra.<h3 data-block-key="b07bi">Arthouse inspired</h3><img alt="6-33-forbes-street-turner-act-2612-89696-image-0-20231102034643421988-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-33-forbes-street-turner-act-2612-89696-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">One word to describe the incredibly dark heart of this home: loooooove. The wall-mounted knife set just hits harder on a black background, while the mermaid tiles are art deco luxe.<img alt="6-33-forbes-street-turner-act-2612-89696-image-0-20231102034643128750-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-33-forbes-street-turner-act-2612-89696-image.width-800_SnULKXU.jpg" width="800">The rest of this two-bedroom apartment on Forbes Street is equally as unexpected and stunning, including custom joinery in almost every room and a black chalk feature wall.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-33-forbes-street-turner-act-2612-89696/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing for 6/33 Forbes Street, Turner.</a><h3 data-block-key="1sthi">Scandinavian dream</h3><img alt="5-fitzgerald-street-yarralumla-act-2600-85286-image-0-20230825001631237737-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-fitzgerald-street-yarralumla-act-2600-85286-.width-800_nLKWkJ0.jpg" width="800">From its structured lines to its simplicity, this kitchen in Yarralumla is as minimalist and elegant as it gets.<img alt="5-fitzgerald-street-yarralumla-act-2600-85286-image-0-20230825001631567007-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-fitzgerald-street-yarralumla-act-2600-85286-.width-800_aw8vley.jpg" width="800">We’re loving the calacatta marble and the stunning Zug appliances, but mostly it’s about the thick timber highlight lines for us. Who wouldn’t want to cook Swedish meatballs in this kitchen?<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/5-fitzgerald-street-yarralumla-act-2600-85286/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing for 5 Fitzgerald Street, Yarralumla.</a><h3 data-block-key="f89k">Country luxe</h3><img alt="1-reliance-street-red-hill-act-2603-85655-image-0-20231025041639008245-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-reliance-street-red-hill-act-2603-85655-imag.width-800_C2PxPi1.jpg" width="800">It’s hard not to imagine this enormous kitchen in Red Hill packed with family members and friends at Christmas time (or just for a standard Wednesday night dinner at home really).<img alt="1-reliance-street-red-hill-act-2603-85655-image-0-20231025041639306885-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-reliance-street-red-hill-act-2603-85655-imag.width-800_qurnKQ8.jpg" width="800">Underpinned by a ‘Hamptons meets country’ style, we can’t decide if the windows or the arched bookshelves under the island bench are our favourite detail.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1-reliance-street-red-hill-act-2603-85655/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing for 1 Reliance Street, Red Hill.</a>

The dream kitchens we found deep in Canberra's suburbs

‘Buy me this.’I send this as a text message (with a Zango listing attached) to my husband/sister/mum/BFF almost every other day. But this time I mean it.Seriously: how divine is <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this three-bedroom apartment in Turner</a>?<img alt="604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159-image-0-20230911033152456161-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-861.width-800.jpg" width="800">As soon as I saw it listed by <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> on Monday it hit the top of my lust list. And I just had to talk to owner/seller Elle about the stunning space she’s created in the heart of the inner north. I mean, creating a bohemian oasis in an apartment on Canberra’s ‘main street’ – Northbourne Avenue – is no mean feat!<h4 data-block-key="f8obj">Bree: Your apartment is like a real-life dream! Which places inspire you?</h4><img alt="604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159-image-0-20230911033150933232-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-861.width-800_QK7OFB5.jpg" width="800">Elle: Oh! Thank you so much! Spending time on the Gold Coast and Byron Bay, my mum had a beach shack which she decorated and I admired, travelling to coastal settings and my brother’s love of the ocean have all inspired me.<h4 data-block-key="30f7q">Bree: What kind of feeling were you trying to evoke with the space?</h4><img alt="604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159-image-0-20230911033154067284-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-861.width-800_x8cxr5Y.jpg" width="800">Elle: A soft, welcoming and tranquil feeling. Most furnishings are soft or curved to emulate this feeling, and the use of lots of white creates a calm and relaxed feeling in my eyes and doesn’t compete with the beauty of nature just outside.<h4 data-block-key="aoi2c">Bree: What are the key design tricks you&#x27;ve used?</h4><img alt="604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159-image-0-20230911033154347700-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-861.width-800_6jV3t3t.jpg" width="800">Elle: Only choosing pieces I love and are comfortable. I wanted to be able to have people over and sit all night eating, drinking and laughing at the dining table while still being comfortable sitting there in the early hours of the morning.<h4 data-block-key="4og0s">Bree: What are your favourite items of furniture and where are they from?</h4><img alt="604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159-image-0-20230911033155876073-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-861.width-800_U4a7chS.jpg" width="800">Elle: I don’t have favourites :) Three Birds Renovations are a huge source of inspiration fir me! I also chose home.byholly specifically to sell the home as I find the way they present homes is also inspirational!<h4 data-block-key="8tmf7">Bree: What will the new owners love about living here?</h4><img alt="604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159-image-0-20230911033155645834-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-861.width-800_6G9qer6.jpg" width="800">Elle: I hope the new owners love the sense of community and connection that we have experienced in living in Space2. The happiness when the sun rises and comes through the sheer curtains, enveloping the lounge room and the ambient lighting that glows in the evening. I hope the new owners love the feeling of the apartment as much as I have loved creating it and experience many joyous memories!604/165 Northbourne Avenue, Turner, is for sale for $1.2 million+<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/604-165-northbourne-avenue-turner-act-2612-86159/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

News

Taking inspiration from chic townhouses in New York City and London, the brand new Tempus townhomes are like nothing Canberra has ever seen.In fact, <a href="/agents/sam-mcgregor/">Sam McGregor</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mcgrath-north-canberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McGrath Estate Agents</a> says the largest home in the 19-home complex, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18c-david-street-turner-act-2612-41946/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18C David Street</a> in Turner, is “the most premium townhouse currently on offer or ever sold in Canberra in recent years”.The striking four-bedroom home packs a punch before you even walk through the front door, with its stunning natural copper facade rising from fully landscaped gardens.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image6_b.width-800.jpg" width="800">“From the outside in, the architect-designed finishes are absolutely outstanding,” Mr McGregor said.“The raw and natural elements, such as copper, concrete, steel and Italian stone take inspiration from New York townhouses – you’ll see nothing else like it in Canberra.”Mr McGregor says he has fallen in love with the development as it has been constructed over the past two years, but the premium townhome, set over two levels, has taken his breath away upon its completion.The grand home boasts two master suites and multiple living areas with a huge, private entertaining terrace and four-car basement garage.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image3_X.width-800.jpg" width="800">Mr McGregor says the outdoor terrace is a stand-out feature and is perfect for year-round family entertaining.“The terrace is as big as a backyard in Gunghalin,” he said.“It’s really private and it has a beautiful aspect with views over the landscaped gardens to Black Mountain Tower,” he said.The basement garage has also been designed as a flexi-space, with room for all the toys, or you could convert part of the space into a rumpus room or home gym.“It’s huge and there’s so much you could do with the space,” he said.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image2_8.width-800.jpg" width="800">The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home and features Italian stone finishes that perfectly complement the gleaming polished concrete floors on the lower level.The living rooms and spacious lower master suite flow seamlessly to the terrace area.Upstairs, a second master or guest room with ensuite and two additional bedrooms take in majestic city and mountain views, while another family room, opening onto a balcony, is an ideal teenage retreat or office space.Mr McGregor says it’s rare to find off-street parking in Turner and the four-car garage is “incredible”.And to find an apartment of this quality and 182 square metres of living space just five minutes from Canberra’s CBD, he says, is “unheard of”.“This high-end home will suit people looking for great access to the city with an easy lifestyle, or downsizers that don’t want to sacrifice space and quality,” Mr McGregor added.“It’s a 10-minute walk to the city, three minutes to the light rail and just 400 metres to Turner shops with great cafes and restaurants.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image5_5.width-800.jpg" width="800">Of solid concrete construction, the townhome features ducted heating and cooling throughout and is extremely energy efficient with double glazing and solar passive design.This is a limited opportunity to live in a prestigious residence in a city locale unparalleled for plentiful, modern and peaceful amenity.To arrange an inspection of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18c-david-street-turner-act-2612-41946/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18C David Street</a>, Turner, contact <a href="/agents/sam-mcgregor/">Sam McGregor</a> on 0401 097 907 or <a href="/agents/craig-chapman/">Craig Chapman</a> on 0408 118 519.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/new-york-inspired-living-ups-the-ante-in-turner/463959" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>
