There’s something warm and comforting to be found in this Hamptons-inspired house in Turner.

Though its architectural influences are drawn from the other side of the world, the five-bedroom home’s elegant design is the perfect fit for its position overlooking Haig Park.

Architect Terry Ring says his clients loved the idea of a Hamptons-style home – a classic design that would stand the test of time.

“It brings back memories of older houses – the verandah, the decoration, the trimmings around the window – and that will be exactly the same in 20 years time,” Ring says.

The interiors also embody that classic Hamptons style, enhanced with solid timber flooring, a marble gas fireplace and grand staircase, yet they’ve been given a modern twist.

“The design still allows the sense of space internally for a flowing floor plan as well as all the mod cons,” Luton Properties Canberra City agent James Carter says.

The formal and informal living areas boast tranquil garden and courtyard views and enjoy an effortless flow to the alfresco spaces, making it the perfect entertainer.

The kitchen is well-equipped for catering with stone benches, a butler’s pantry and Miele appliances.

Agent James Carter says it’s hard to put a price on such a distinctive property, however, bidding is expected to commence from $2 million.
