Rich in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern family comfort, this remarkable residence offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, built-in character and a beautiful connection to nature.

Originally designed by architect Michael Dysart and constructed in 1962 from solid six-inch Sydney sandstone bricks - later featured in The Canberra Times - the home has been comprehensively rebuilt and refined, with a full structural renovation completed in 2023 and further enhancements in 2025.

Set on an expansive 1908m² parcel, the home offers exceptional flexibility, with multiple living areas and up to four bedrooms, easily adapting to families, guests or work-from-home needs. Natural light pours through extensive glazing and skylights, illuminating warm bamboo flooring and creating a flow to the surrounding gardens from every room.

A private front courtyard provides a welcoming entry, offering an additional space to relax or entertain in complete privacy.

The main bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a dedicated study area and terrace access overlooking the pool and grounds, while beautifully renovated bathrooms and curated finishes reflect a consistent focus on quality, warmth and character. Central to the home is the kitchen and dining which are both functional and expressive - featuring a substantial Euromaid gas cooker with three ovens and framed by light-filled living areas ideal for congregating and entertaining.

Outdoors, the north-facing rear garden presents a truly unique, fully organic environment with abundant birdlife. A richly productive landscape of established fruit and nut trees is complemented by a mature olive grove, and a flourishing raspberry patch, along with vegetable gardens designed for sustainable living. A striking 10-metre saltwater pool forms the centrepiece, surrounded by multiple areas perfect for children to run around and play and enjoy the privacy of this expansive setting.

The home is also extremely energy efficient - with seventeen solar panels providing an average of 16.95 kWh per day resulting in free electricity for 9 months of the year.

Positioned moments from Mawson shops, schools, Woden Town Centre and The Canberra Hospital, and surrounded by parkland and recreational facilities, the home offers both convenience to many services and popular attractions.
A residence of warmth, versatility and charming appeal - where space, lifestyle and substance come together in a truly special way.
