We’ve rounded up our pick of the best homes in Canberra and surrounds to add to your inspection planner this weekend.

Forde

View property

Commanding its corner block position of nearly 900 square metres, this incredible six-bedroom home offers the dream family lifestyle in a convenient pocket of Gungahlin.

One wing of the contemporary two-storey dwelling includes a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, plus a separate family room, all with easy access to the entertaining deck, in-ground pool and backyard. The other wing includes multiple bedrooms, bathrooms and a rumpus room, while parents can enjoy their own suite and private balcony upstairs.

Yass

View property

With its refined coastal palette, curved motifs and resort-style pool area, this architect-designed house wouldn’t be out of place among trendy new Gold Coast homes.

The stylish, bright facade and materials selection are complemented by a functional floor plan and an eco-friendly solar and Tesla battery system. Highlights include the calacatta Borghini stone benchtops and Venetian plastering in the spectacular kitchen, and the steel arched front door with fluted glass crafted by a local artisan.

Pearce

View property

Offering estate-like proportions behind established hedges, this elegantly renovated five-bedroom gem on more than 2200 square metres in the heart of Pearce will be hard to beat.

Whispers of European influences flow throughout the property, from the classic windows and polished floorboards to the living room’s statement fireplace and French doors. Step past the modern kitchen onto the travertine pavers outside and you’ll find grapevines adorning the pergola, an in-ground solar-heated pool, a tennis court and a reserve just beyond.
