Reid residence with six-car garage and pool listed from $5.075 million

From the street, this five-bedroom home is every bit the gracious Reid residence, with its heritage brickwork and terracotta-tiled roof. But step through the front door, and you’re served up a masterclass in contemporary design, where heritage charm and contemporary luxury manage to complement one another beautifully.

Natural light pours through oversized glazing, illuminating European oak floors, soaring ceilings and a restrained palette of marble, timber and stone.

The bulk of the living is at ground level. In the kitchen, elegant marble wraps a sculptural island bench, complemented by integrated appliances, a butler’s pantry and custom joinery that keeps surfaces beautifully uncluttered. Alongside it, open-plan living and dining are anchored by a gas fireplace. Sliding doors connect the spaces outdoors in every direction, including a terrace with an outdoor kitchenette and a heated mineral salt pool.

In the accommodation wing, the main suite features a custom dressing room, dedicated makeup station and a luxurious Carrara marble en suite with fluted glass detailing, while the remaining bedrooms are spacious and serviced by equally refined bathrooms with underfloor heating.

Head downstairs and you’ll find a level of amenity rarely found in inner-city homes. There’s a sprawling 180-square-metre basement, housing a garage for up to six vehicles, a custom wine cellar, an expansive games and rumpus room, another courtyard, and an additional bedroom and bathroom. Even the mudroom, with its curved cabinetry, is like a work of art in itself.

Need to know

Right next to the CBD, Reid is home to several of Canberra’s original garden-city streets, with many homes protected by heritage controls dating back to the capital’s earliest years.

What the agent says

“This is the second collaboration between Papas Projects and Thursday Architecture, following the Inner North record-setting sale of 36 Elimatta Street in Reid. For buyers who admired that home but missed the opportunity, this is a rare second chance,” Josh Morrissey, Hive.
