Step inside a transformed red-brick classic in Narrabundah

You might think you know what’s behind the front door of a classic Canberra red-brick duplex.

But 55 Sturt Avenue in Narrabundah would likely suggest otherwise.

The five-bedroom home has been beautifully reimagined and extended.

While a classic front entrance welcomes you, step inside, and you’ll find light, volume and carefully curated interiors.

The kitchen leans heavily into warm timber tones.

This is balanced by stone surfaces and clean lines, with an accompanying oversized walk-in butler’s pantry.

The space opens into expansive living and dining zones, where soaring ceilings and walls of glass invite natural light to pour in, while sliding doors peel back to connect seamlessly to the rear entertaining deck.

Then there’s the staircase. Wrapped in a rich golden hue, it’s a design statement in its own right.

It leads upstairs to three bedrooms, including the main with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Another bedroom sits on the ground level, along with a fifth that could serve as a rumpus room or second living area.

Custom joinery features throughout, from the entry mudroom to the wardrobes and a dedicated home office. Ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, coupled with double-glazed windows, enhance the comfort factor.

Outside, a lush lawn anchors the backyard, while fully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens feature mature olive and lemon trees. All of it sits behind automatic gates with a video intercom, keeping things private and secure.

Agent Steph Hoss of Purnell says this is Inner South perfection, fully reimagined and flawlessly executed.

“It’s rare to find such thoughtful design where all the hard work is already done, and you can simply move in and love it,” she says.

The May 23 auction has a price guide of $2.1 million-plus.

While it may have started as part of Queanbeyan, Narrabundah now enjoys a prestigious Inner South position, with many original cottages enjoying modern reinventions.

It’s also home to the Canberra Cavalry baseball team. And if you’re a night owl, Canberra’s only after-hours cafe, Kita, kicks off its day at 6pm and runs right through until 6am.
