Home of the week: A hidden gem nestled in Kingston

Modern comfort blends seamlessly with a stylish 1920s design at this Kingston family home. Tasteful renovation has maintained the home’s period charm, without compromising on comfort or convenience.

Visitors are greeted by a rolling front lawn, perfectly complemented by the elegant facade.

A formal entry opens onto a large living, dining and meals space, overlooking the gardens. A generous space, entertaining will be a breeze with room for a 12-seat dining table and a full family lounge setting.

The modern kitchen overlooks this space, a cook’s dream with stone surfaces, an extended pantry, and German appliances.

Flowing on from the family space, a covered outdoor entertaining area is the perfect place to relax on a long summer evening.

Picturesque cottage gardens embrace the house, with hedged borders making them a private oasis. Sitting on an 824-square-metre block, the gardens offer plenty of space to enjoy.

The three bedrooms enjoy privacy at the front of the home. Each features a built-in robe, with an en suite to the master bedroom.

The home is the epitome of modern comfort with ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling, and Rinnai gas plus solar gas hot water systems.

Small notes give the home a luxurious feeling, with hardwood flooring, bespoke light fittings and crushed silk curtains adding charm to the interior.

Sitting in the heart of Kingston, the home enjoys one of the best positions Canberra has to offer. Close to the Parliamentary Circle and the CBD, the home is an easy distance to some of Canberra’s best schools and employment hotspots.

“The renovation is so sympathetically completed, and the finishes are authentic and of the upmost quality,” says Louise Harget, agent for the property.

“Standing in the front garden, wandering past the rose gardens, you don’t feel like you are a five-minute stroll up to Kingston, or down to the Foreshore.

“These heritage homes in Kingston are truly very special.”

Surrounding area: One of Canberra’s oldest suburbs, Kingston sits close to Canberra’s centre. It enjoys the amenity of Kingston Shops, with a buzz added by cafes, bars and restaurants on Kingston Foreshore.

We love: An elegant design inside and out sets this Kingston home apart from the crowd.
