Bushland surrounds are just one of the standout features of this property in Aranda.

Designed by renowned local architect Roger Pegrum, it has won a number of awards including the ACT Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects’ C.S. Daley Medal in 1974.

Ray White Belconnen agent Andrew Lonsdale says Pegrum was the architect behind each renovation and extension over the years, which has helped achieve the home’s seamless design.

“It really is an architectural masterpiece of the ’70s and to have the same architect involved throughout every renovation is  special,” Mr Lonsdale says.

The additions have been consistent with the original concept of wrapping the house around the outdoor spaces, creating garden and bushland outlooks from each room of the home.

Native gardens carry the bushland onto the property, while the use of natural materials, including ash floors and timber details, invite the tranquil surrounds into the home.

The main bathroom was renovated in 2014 and features a curved vanity, freestanding volcanic limestone bathtub, skylights and under-floor heating. It won the Master Builders of Australia’s bathroom of the year award and received a Institute of Architects’ commendation.

Nature parks bound two sides of the home, which is close to both Belconnen and the city.

Lonsdale says it is difficult to price such a rare find in Aranda, however it is expected to exceed the suburb record of $1.187 million. 

INSPECT: Saturday and Sunday, 11am-noon
