Design purists will appreciate and celebrate the original low-slung late-modernist lines of this 1970s work of Sydney architect John Playoust while families will simply fall in love with the sequenced spaces, all of which have the luxury of beautiful garden views.
Originally one of just eight homes built in the street as a showcase for Playoust's work, it exhibits the natural materials so common to the era: timber doors and window frames and slate flooring create a mellow vibe that speaks to the spirit and logic of the time.
The kitchen, ensuite and a third toilet have had bright updates over the years, but the family bathroom remains in immaculate largely original condition and glories in a flooring of earthy green penny tiles.
The more-recent addition of an elevated deck off the family room extends the entertaining options into the garden that wraps the eastern and northern sides of the
home while double doors off the open living and dining space flow to a covered terrace, offering the quintessential indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
With four bedrooms and situated in a coveted street close to the local primary school, Hawker shops and excellent commuter access to the Belconnen Town Centre and Canberra CBD, this home has rare architectural and location pedigrees.
