High-end in Hughes: New build offers premium living and sweeping mountain views

New, architectural homes aren’t the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Hughes.

But 49 Kitchener Street makes a strong case for why they should be.

Completed in 2024 and set high above Woden with views stretching to the Brindabellas, the home hits all the elevated notes, from its commanding position to its impressive inclusions and thoughtfully zoned design.

In the living spaces, natural light pours through floor-to-ceiling double glazing, illuminating engineered timber floors and crisp, contemporary finishes.

The kitchen is as substantial as it is beautiful, with a hidden butler’s pantry effectively doubling its size.

Stone flows across benchtops and backsplashes, alongside premium appliances and a 50-bottle wine cellar.

An eye-catching gas fireplace anchors the adjoining living and dining spaces.

It all extends seamlessly outside to a covered al fresco area complete with a built-in barbecue and outdoor kitchen.

Next to it, a 5.9-metre dual-zone swim spa offers a relaxing spot for a dip, no matter the season.

And the accommodation sits segregated at the front of the home. The main-bedroom suite, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite, enjoys Brindabella views, while three more bedrooms sit nearby.

Tucked downstairs, a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment could be used for extended family, potential rental income or just the endless stream of guests you’d no doubt have, keen for a dip in the swim spa.

“Newly built and elevated to capture Brindabella views, this rare Hughes residence pairs high-end finishes with flexible family living and superb entertaining, all in one of Canberra’s most desired suburbs,” says agent Jack Wilson of Cream Residential.

Just tucked inside the outer Inner South, Hughes is that sweet spot of established and ultra-convenient, yet just a little removed from the bustle.

Days often unfold to a soundtrack of birdsong, there’s plenty of green space and nature close by, but it’s just a quick nip down to the shops for Hughes Takeaway or Common Ground Cafe.
