Personalised and custom details &quot;rarely found in the modern build&quot; are complemented by substantial living areas that complete the need for space and practicality.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/lisa-silberberg/">Lisa Silberberg</a> says intuitive flow and unique design elements are obvious the second you walk in the front door.“This home draws you in instantly. Indoor spaces centre around an expansive main living area and open-concept kitchen, ensuring that entertaining and family time is embraced and encouraged,” Lisa says.<img alt="181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-20230511001703501110-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-.width-800_sEY4wEp.jpg" width="800">That incredible black kitchen boasts no less than 5.6m of island bench space (!), complete with under-bench drawers, a walk-in pantry and utility corner.“The original build in the 1960s was designed by a group of architects and the current build is owned by a family of one of the original architects – they&#x27;ve retained the heritage of the home in a beautiful way while incorporating contemporary aspects,&quot; Lisa says.<img alt="181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-20230511001657163725-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-.width-800_JqFagiM.jpg" width="800">Bespoke features include original Canberra red bricks and a custom penny-round bathroom splashback.“The master bedroom features a complete walk-in dressing room and custom-built wardrobes,&quot; Lisa says.&quot;Inside the ensuite, there is an abundance of natural light, with the added benefit of heated towel rails and in-floor heating for the Canberra winter.”<img alt="181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-20230511001703154272-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-.width-800_d0IPXtc.jpg" width="800">A traditional breezeway links the front of the property with the rumpus and three further bedrooms, providing a separate wing for the kids or visiting guests.Outside, the garden is sectioned into &quot;spaces&quot; for a variety of outdoor activities, entertaining and gardening.<img alt="181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-20230511001651404323-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The backyard and covered patio are an entertainer’s dream. An expansive lawn offers plenty of open space for kids, pets and partygoers, all of whom will enjoy the pizza oven and fire pit,&quot; Lisa says.“For those looking to get away from the world, a secure, leafy front courtyard provides the perfect escape.”An ever-popular area of Woden Valley, Hughes offers great access to main arterial roads for convenient travel across the capital and is within catchments for some of the best local schools.<img alt="181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-20230511001706416517-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766-image-0-.width-800_ecWF9aS.jpg" width="800">“Hughes Primary School, Alfred Deakin High, Canberra College, and Saints Peter and Paul Primary School are all close by, as are plenty of dining and shopping opportunities,” Lisa says.“Anybody who values an aesthetically-pleasing, multifunctional home with plenty of space to grow should look no further.”Number 181 Kent Street, Hughes, will be auctioned at 11.30am on Saturday 3 June 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/181-kent-street-hughes-act-2605-79766/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/modern-design-and-contemporary-style-create-the-dream-entertainer-in-the-heart-of-hughes/660163" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>
