Canberra’s 1925 Forrest estate hits the market with a $4.3m-plus guide

Built in 1925, just 12 years after Canberra’s first house went up, 44 Dominion Circuit, Forrest, has been with the city from the beginning.

Set on a 2270-square-metre block and surrounded by glorious landscaped gardens, this palatial estate captures the elegance of Old Canberra.

Heritage features have been beautifully preserved and are complemented by contemporary upgrades, including a chef’s kitchen, modern bathrooms and ducted heating and cooling.

There are five bedrooms in the main house and a self-contained suite above the double carport, ideal for extended family or visiting dignitaries.

If you ever want to venture beyond the manicured hedges, you’re just minutes from the CBD and in the catchments for some of Canberra’s best schools.
