House description

“Architectural Masterpiece in Prestigious Embassy Belt Location - A Statement in Sophisticated Living”

First time offered on the open market, architecturally designed and crafted by bespoke builder Todd Constructions in 2004, then meticulously refurbished to the highest standards in early 2025. This exceptional 6-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the ultimate blend of contemporary design, flexible living spaces, and luxury finishes. Perfect for multigenerational families incorporating modern design spaces to accommodate everyone with ease, including a fully self-contained studio ideal for independent living, a home office, or guest suite.

Nestled within Yarralumla's coveted embassy precinct, this stately two-storey residence sits proudly on a quiet street, capturing the essence of prestige and privacy. Designed to embrace its prime north-facing orientation, the home features full-height windows that draw in natural light and warmth, perfect for Canberra's crisp winters.
From the moment you step through the Antarctic-inspired airlock entrance with integrated coat storage, you're greeted by a formal foyer leading into a luxurious lounge and dining area. Here, high-end finishes, custom joinery, a gas fireplace heating lounge, dining areas with ample efficiency to heat the upstairs wing, it truly sets the tone for sophisticated living.

Throughout the residence, exquisite timber craftsmanship adds warmth and character at every turn. A striking central staircase, masterfully constructed from recycled Thor's Hammer spotted gum, serves as both a functional feature and architectural statement. Every skirting board and architrave is crafted from solid maple timber, subtly limewashed to highlight the grain and celebrate the home's refined connection to nature.

The heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen with richly veined Angelico Palazzo expansive stone benchtops and splashbacks, a beautifully detailed Tasmanian oak benchtop face anchors the space, offering natural texture and timeless appeal. The kitchen is appointed with premium appliances, an oversized gas cooktop with dual electric ovens, and a generous walk-in pantry. This area combines an ideal setting for both everyday living and elegant entertaining with a large 10+ seating meals area.

Upstairs you'll find a generously sized master retreat of 30m², complete with a beautifully appointed ensuite and a spacious walk-in wardrobe, then through double French doors a private balcony to enjoy uninterrupted views across the Brindabellas, Black Mountain and Red Hill. Also off the landing area is a large sized separate bedroom.

The ground level offers three generously sized bedrooms, a new family bathroom, a linen room, a dedicated study nook, a large laundry room with ample bench space used as butler's servery, wine cellar and separate powder room. All three main bathrooms have automated heated floors.
The residence has three independent fully ducted air conditioning systems with automated control, Network distribution Hub for internal security surveillance, external CCTV, smart door camera and monitoring, with fully hard wired Cat6 throughout home, and smart tri-switch LED lighting. Integrated LED strip lighting enhances practicality while lending a refined, understated ambience.

There has been no expense sparred on the main house and striking self-contained studio and alfresco area, the design and modern features are breathtaking with a north facing aspect drenching with natural light. Studio's high vaulted ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen, hidden bathroom door and wall hides large storage areas and laundry facility. A spacious living area of 52m2 that opens directly to a paved 36m² alfresco entertaining area, and surrounding established gardens.

At the rear of the home surrounding the studio is a tranquil oasis blending modern expansive areas with a Vergola opening roof and very private high walls with established gardens. The overall design emphasises a sense of privacy and connection with nature, utilizing natural materials, recycled timbers, pathways and feature waterfall, pond, fire pit area and large garden storage shed to the rear.

Off the formal space is a private north facing area with privacy hedging and automated awning, there is another area on the south that can be used and for easy secure off-street entry to the studio.

This is more than a residence; it's a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of Canberra's most prestigious enclaves-where elegance, privacy, and superior craftsmanship converge.
