If you're like me and can always imagine what is beautiful and inspiring about a home and lifestyle, then you will be enthralled by 18 Bannister Gardens Griffith. A picture perfect 1947 red brick cottage, with nuances of Art Deco and an abundance of original and eclectic features we all love and adore!
Quintessentially Canberra with its red bricks, sash windows and terracotta roof tiles, the two bedroom, impeccably maintained, largely original cottage is a precious offering.
When the original family built the home in 1947 they engaged the services of award winning architect Albert Henry Alfred Hanson. Securing a large allotment, previously set aside in the Gardens for a tennis court, the home is one of the few privately built residences in the Gardens. A family home for nearly 70 years, the house delights in stories of an emerging city, the early days of Canberra, bustling Manuka and the local Centre of Griffith.
As the saying goes 'if only the walls could talk' the most luxurious gold embossed wall paper adorning the dining room says it all. A family trip to the Gold Coast in the late 1970s staying in a luxurious penthouse, inspired a home makeover on their return, resulting in the 'must have' European designer wall paper.
If the spectacular large garden allotment doesn't get you, or the most coveted Inner South position of Bannister Gardens, then the coolest wallpaper in Canberra definitely will!
