Forrest

View property

A dramatic multilevel facade, an abundance of space and perfectly manicured gardens come together to set this extraordinary house apart. The award-winning Adam Hobill design features full-height windows throughout the property, always allowing a connection to the leafy 1350-square-metre block.

Elements of luxury abound in the five living spaces – which include a formal 12-seat dining room – such as the cedar-framed sash windows, granite hearth open fireplace, temperature-controlled wine room and rain-sensor Vergola covering the outdoor entertaining terrace.

Listed by Mario Sanfrancesco of Blackshaw Manuka, the home has a price guide of $5 million-plus.

Turner

The sophisticated exterior of this townhouse sets the scene for what lies beyond the front hedges. A refined material palette unfolds across two levels, with the open-plan kitchen’s stone benchtops and matt-black tapware echoed in the two bathrooms.

A space-saving study nook and European laundry maximise the floor plan, while a front porch, two balconies and the enclosed backyard provide opportunities to experience the delights of the home’s leafy setting in the heart of Turner.

Listed by Belinda Riding of Blackshaw Woden, the home has a price guide of $1.25 million-plus.

Fisher

This beautifully renovated family home will wow at every turn. The statement kitchen showcases unique concrete benchtops with a built-in drink dispenser, along with dark-toned cabinetry that complements the blackbutt timber flooring throughout the living areas.

Pull aside the stacking doors to step out to the large entertaining deck wrapped around the established backyard tree. A stylish self-contained one-bedroom unit includes its own laundry and private access, offering options for guests, older children or as an income stream.
