Durack Street takes you back. If you grew up in suburban Canberra this is a place where you'll feel immediately at home. You can't help but be reminded of your childhood, where your neighbours looked out for one another, summer backyard barbeques and riding bikes on the street till dusk.

13 Durack Street has been a home to this couple for 14 years, the place where they raised their family. Renovated and extended over time, the home is functional and practical, while also aesthetically beautiful blending modern interiors with the original charm and character.

The gourmet kitchen connects seamlessly to the living and dining area, making it the heart of the home. Cooking, chatting and homework can all happen in the same space, making sure the family chef stays connected. The expansive glass windows offer a garden aspect and allow home to be filled with natural light.

Three generous bedrooms are positioned at the front of the home, each with built in robes and beautiful main bathroom that you will find in a home built for a large family. The segregated master bedroom features a walk-in robe, ensuite and access to the rear deck. The fifth bedroom is perfect for a nursery or home office.

The front and backyard has been designed by Cedric Bryant to create a low maintenance garden that requires minimal water and has texture and colour all year round. The irrigation system looks after the raised vegetable patches and mature fruit trees for you. A large grass strip and merbau deck with colorbond roof is perfect for the kids to play and you can entertain guests all year round.

13 Durack Street will remind you of days gone by and will inspire you to rediscover, recreate and share these times with a new generation.
