Lavish industrial-style home in Deakin hits the market

Canberra’s inner suburbs are replete with modest homes hiding spectacular interiors behind a deceiving street facade. But driving up Carrington Street in Deakin and arriving at No.8, the building that graces the block makes a statement from the very first sight.

Intriguing is the first word that comes to mind as you walk up the driveway. The house is fronted by well-appointed landscaped gardens leading through to a kaleidoscope of textures on the building’s facade.

Vertical and horizontal timbers slot into place between rendered and natural precast concrete, framed by a metallic block design. Each texture stands alone, but together they provide a modern fusion of style and industrial flair.

This is only a sneak peek into the themes that are carried throughout the interiors of the home.

“The property was designed by architect Alex D’Ambrosio and constructed by Independent Constructions in 2017-2018 with very strong, contemporary external design features, complementary lighting and minimalistic landscaping to suit the overall aesthetic,” says Berkely Residential director Bill Lyristakis.

Walking through the oversized, custom front door, luxury surrounds you. From the zoned in-floor heating that adds warmth to the cool tones and finish of the polished concrete, to the void created by the bespoke matt black and glass staircase, the grandeur of the entrance sets the scene for what lies ahead.

The first floor plays with natural light and space. There is a private courtyard separating the lounge and family room. This natural element is balanced perfectly by matt black industrial ductwork, statement lighting in the kitchen and a natural precast wall.

Works of art in themselves, the kitchen appliances are worthy of a serial entertainer. The space is fully equipped with Wolf, Sub Zero and Miele appliances coupled with sensational Calacatta gold marble benchtops. There’s also a butler’s pantry, wine fridge and outdoor kitchen – whatever the weather, entertaining is a must!

In the warmer months, life will revolve around the pool, surrounded by a luxurious deck and cabana area. So whether you’re cooking up a feast in the outdoor kitchen or simply lounging with a book on a pool chair, the space is yours to define.

Escape from the world outside every night in the master bedroom. Complete with its very own fireplace, internal courtyard, large luxury bathroom and walk-in wardrobes, this is a luxurious space designed to help you unwind after a long day at the office.

But why escape? Upstairs includes three segregated large bedrooms, a games room for the kids (or that pool table you’ve always wanted) and a separate living area, all to ensure that home is a retreat for everyone.

Located in the beautiful Inner South suburb of Deakin, this property is a rare offering of convenience, style and luxury.

“Carrington Street has always been extremely popular due to its superb Chinese elm tree canopy and convenience to the local Deakin shops and transport links to Canberra City and Woden,” adds Lyristakis.
