The Campbell home that's 'like living in a tree house'

A sought-after location, city and mountain views, and the bonus of a self-contained apartment all add to the unique appeal of this two-storey Campbell residence with a European heritage.

The home sits on a 1442-square-metre block and is characterised by four striking, two-storey brick pillars and a skillion roof.

The ground floor is home to a large, self-contained apartment with its own access, a laundry, sauna and garage.

An entry foyer, highlighted by an indoor garden, accesses stairs to the main living areas that open onto a covered balcony.

There are four bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The master has an en suite.

Owners Bhama and Chris Parish (Professor Parish was the 2014 Canberra Citizen of the Year) were attracted to the home by its location and the potential of the ground-floor apartment.

“We bought it in 1988 – we just liked that it was a bit different,” Bhama says.

She understood the previous owners had a Latvian background, which influenced the extensive use of timber and exposed brick.

“It’s a very cosy, light-filled home with a very tranquil feeling. It’s like living in a tree house,” Bhama says.
