Modern comfort meets heritage: 1930s Manuka gem on the market

Built in 1930, this stunning Griffith home has been reborn through a flawless modern transformation.

Nestled on leafy Murray Crescent , it’s one of the few remaining residential properties in the Manuka Housing Precinct, giving the next custodian a rare opportunity to own a delightful piece of Canberra’s history.

From the kerb, you’re met with a two-storey, lightly toned rendered brick exterior, with picturesque windows setting the scene. 

Step inside to a living space defined by an original Canberra red-brick fireplace with high, detailed ceilings and natural light infiltrating the interiors.

The kitchen and large dining room feel fresh yet provide a snapshot of a bygone era. A stunning wood-fired oven in green draws the eye, complemented by a similar aesthetic in the kitchen cabinetry and splashback tiles.

Three bedrooms – two with built-in wardrobes – a bathroom with elegant, period-style brass fittings, and a separate toilet form the upper level.

New carpets, fresh paint, a ducted and split-system air conditioning, and a new hot water system round out the latest improvements to the 141 square metres of internal living space.

The separate-title 621-square-metre block is located just moments from Manuka Village’s fine restaurants, cafes, pubs and boutique shopping.

The home is currently leased at $1050 a week until mid-2026.

Agent Luke Lindley says it represents “a secure investment and a once-in-a-generation chance to be part of Canberra’s living heritage in one of its most exclusive and timeless locations”.
