With its dramatic cantilevered architecture and metal-clad facade, 16 Musgrave Street is a home that immediately commands attention.

Set in the heart of Yarralumla, just moments from Capital Hill, this is an award-winning architectural masterpiece with a blue-chip address.

Inside, there’s something distinctly Japanese about the elegant, pared-back aesthetic.

Sitting at the kitchen island, looking over the cream kitchen and leafy trees beyond, you could almost be at a high-end omakase restaurant.

“Every material, system and finish has been carefully selected to deliver a home that is visually powerful, technologically advanced and effortlessly liveable,” says agent Frank Rasouli from Illustrated Properties.

That translates to natural timber flooring, leathered marble benchtops, integrated V-Zug appliances (including a coffee machine), Kohler smart toilets and a Meridien sound system.

The main-bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat, with a spectacular walk-in wardrobe including custom cabinetry and an elegant stone bath in the en suite.

The sparkling heated swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and landscaped gardens make the most of the 853-square-metre block.

Rasouli expects the March 14 auction for this one-of-a-kind property to reach over $5 million.
