Resort living at home: This impressive Deakin residence makes getaways obsolete

Not many homes in Canberra feel like a private holiday destination.

No. 22 Beauchamp Street in Deakin comes with the soundtrack of water cascading down your own private waterfall.

Set beside a resort-style pool and framed by lush greenery, the dramatic water feature transforms the backyard into something that feels more like a boutique retreat than a suburban garden.

The adjoining terraces are made for easy entertaining or relaxing, where lazy lunches stretch into evening swims.

Agent Jason El-Khoury of Hive Property the residence is “move-in ready”.

“This family home offers generous living, seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining and a resort-style pool,” he says. “It’s perfectly suited to buyers seeking space, lifestyle and everyday comfort in a premium setting.” 

The five-bedroom home itself has been designed to embrace the connection between indoors and out. Upstairs, main living spaces unfold beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, while floor-to-ceiling glass draws in light.

The statement kitchen is finished in black granite, complete with integrated Smeg appliances and generous storage, while an electric fireplace anchors the open-plan living and dining zone.

Step outside to the unique glass-floored balcony, offering unobstructed views down to the waterfall and pool.

Three of the bedrooms are tucked upstairs, while the main-bedroom suite sits on the lower level, complete with a bespoke walk-in wardrobe, an en suite with underfloor heating and direct access to the pool terrace, making an early-morning swim delightfully convenient.

A rumpus room that opens onto the pool, a fifth bedroom or study, a wine cellar, extensive storage, and a double garage complete the lower level.

But it’s that backyard – waterfall, pavilion, pool and all – that truly sets this Deakin residence apart. Who needs a plane ticket for a tropical getaway?
