From the street, 30 Chowne Street in Campbell stops you in your tracks – its sharply pitched roofline and storybook silhouette are unlike anything else on the block, with character, charm and a little eccentricity in equal measure.
Step inside, and it makes you pause all over again.
Behind that distinctive facade is a crisp, contemporary renovation: herringbone timber floors, bright white walls, and clean, pared-back finishes that instantly shift the home’s mood from quirky to refined.
The ground floor unfolds with a sense of balance between function and flow.
A generous living area sits at the heart of the home, filled with natural light and anchored by warm timber floors underfoot. To one side, a study nook provides a quiet corner for work or reading.
Hive Property’s Samantha Linsdell says the home is rare and irreplaceable.
“Unique in its appearance, a true definition of a one of one, with amenities on your doorstep within the C5 precinct,” she says.
A renovated kitchen, fitted with Miele and Bosch appliances and boasting abundant storage, connects seamlessly to the dining room.
The sleek main bathroom – with a free-standing bath, separate shower and heated towel rail – offers a daily touch of luxury, while a separate powder room and full, updated laundry add practicality.
Then there’s the circular staircase. More than just a link between levels, it’s a sculptural centrepiece that winds upward to reveal three spacious bedrooms, each enjoying leafy outlooks, and two with built-in storage.
The backyard offers ample space with minimal upkeep, while a separate 35-square-metre studio presents a blank canvas of opportunity.
Meandering through the wide, leafy streets of Campbell, you’d never know you’re just one suburb away from the city centre.
The suburb has a foot in both worlds – the buzz of the new C5 precinct with its cafes and dining, and the calm of being nestled between Mount Ainslie’s walking trails and the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.
