Finalist in the Medium Density Townhouses and Villas category of the 2023 Master Builders and Asset Construction Hire Excellence Awards!Highly choreographed and considered design has engendered a light-filled, contemporary home, brimming with exemplary finishes and heartfelt touches that pay respect to the past.
Resting at the end of a quiet enclave, with full street frontage, bordering manicured reserve, The Lodge, Deakin shops, Manuka Precinct, Capitol Hill, and the CBD, is this beautiful four-bedroom home. Designed by award winning architect, Tony Trobe, with sustainability in mind, including ideal solar orientation; the home resonates with its natural surrounds and enjoys multiple flow to landscape. Number 3 is the last townhouse remaining, within this exquisite, intimate development.
The form is a stylish mix of simple white, offset by dark grey fascia and warm spotted gum with curving wall in iconic Wee Jasper blue stone. Original pavers have been painstakingly re-laid and vintage roof trusses milled to create a central timber inlay. These poetic touches combined with a high-end material palette and serious environmental consideration, engender a home that feels fresh, relevant, soulful.
Pathways usher past meandering lawns, sugar maples, to sheltered entryway, set with blue stone, privatised by handsome timber baton work.
A small antechamber/mudroom introduces to voluminous, open living, dining, kitchen with banks of glass sliders, softened by billowing sheers, inviting to warming northern courtyard and garden. Notable interior designer, Sonia McAuliffe, has utilised an exquisite combination of high-quality natural materials throughout the interior, including brushed brass fixtures, warm timber, and stone. Spotted gum flows underfoot and high ceilings, custom architectural doors maximise a sense of airy spaciousness.
At the western end of the home, sits a pretty parlour room, sunlit and ideal for cosy connection or repose, with easy drift to the courtyard garden.
The soft marbled white stone countertops, complimented by soft oak breakfast bar, set against crisp white cabinetry, gorgeous golden kit-kat tiling, creates a rich and clean aesthetic within the generous kitchen. Luxe inclusions include, Miele oven and MW Grill, integrated fridge and freezer, adjacent butler's pantry, and dedicated wine room.
The well-proportioned master bedroom extends a peaceful calm with glass doors that usher to paved terrace, enveloped in stonework, and beautifully planted with rhododendrons, jasmine. Set with freestanding cast stone bath, rainwater shower, wall hung oak double vanity, the ensuite entreats with spa-like indulgence and soothing tranquillity. While a generous walk-in-robe with banks of soft grey shelving gifts seamless storage.
On the first floor three sequestered bedrooms, all with built-in-robes and stunning private ensuites bathrooms, take in lovely, elevated views across treetops. A study nook frames the vintage oaks that line the crescent.
Emerald green lawns, spotted with Japanese maples, softly edge silvery French Travertine, and rendered walls privatise and enclose. An outdoor kitchen is set with barbecue, sink, and double under-bench fridge, idyllically setting the stage for alfresco entertaining with family and friends, the table set for plenty.
Deakin is centrally located within the stunning inner-south, close to the Manuka and Kingston hubs and minutes from Capitol Hill. Surrounded by green spaces and reserves, it is an easy stroll to the local independent Deakin shops. The home is also close to a variety of schools, and it is a mere 9 minutes to the CBD by car.
