Grandeur and gardens make Mugga Way a little slice of paradise

It’s not just a sense of grandeur that you’ll notice as you drive down Mugga Way. Residents Paul and Vicky Papas say the street is also one of Canberra’s best kept.

Rows of neatly manicured hedges and picture-perfect gardens have been lovingly attended to by owners who love their properties.

Paul and Vicky moved into their Terry Ring-designed house in 2013 and Paul describes it as his dream home.

They chose to build on Mugga Way as they wanted a large, flat block that could accommodate a single-level living without compromising entertaining space.

Most properties on Mugga Way are nestled behind high hedges and established gardens, which Vicky says creates a feeling of tranquility.

“It’s a busy street, but you can’t hear a thing and you forget how central it is,” Vicky says. “We’ve all enclosed ourselves in this little paradise.”
