Here’s our pick of the best buys in Canberra and the surrounding region. Let this be your guide to which open homes are a must-see this weekend.

Weston

24A Bunny Street (also pictured above)

Price guide: $1.25 million +

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces

Unlike anything offered in Weston, this home has a striking facade and the amenities to match. The modern house occupies a prime position in a neighbourhood renowned for contemporary design.

Its exterior detailing makes an architectural statement and is just a glimpse of the magnificence found inside – matt black fixtures, exposed brick walls, and timber panelling which accentuates the high ceilings and angular roofline.

Inspired by the owner’s travels, the home showcases an incredibly open layout with a focus on light and spaces that connect together.

The designer kitchen, dining and lounge are combined, flowing out onto a sun-drenched terrace, making it the ideal space to effortlessly entertain while enjoying the breathtaking views.

The spacious master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a large en suite complete with a concrete vanity, and bath.

18 Etheridge Street

Price guide: $700,000 +

5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 car space

Buyers will love this beautifully renovated home with a clever architecturally designed extension, which has been lovingly cared for by its live-in owner.

The flexible floor plan with multipurpose living options is a highlight, as are the established garden and multiple outdoor entertaining spaces.

The house is separated into three sections: four bedrooms and the main bathroom are located at one end, while the kitchen, living and dining areas, and the main bedroom with its separate ensuite are located in the middle. At the rear, the large family/multipurpose room with raked ceilings could suit a multitude of options, and a separate rumpus room or home office has its own external entrance. It could also be repurposed into a self-contained space as the plumbing is already installed for a kitchenette.

Outside, the home is surrounded by mature plantings.

Yass

21 Meehan Street

Prive guide: Above $500,000

This renovated home sports a wonderful position with sweeping views over the river and valley from the large north-facing deck.

The new kitchen is complete with stone benchtops and an induction cooktop. Entertain from the meals area straight onto the deck through stacker doors.

It has also been re-wired and the plumbing is new. The gyprock was completely stripped and renewed as part of the renovations.

Bursting with wonderful experiences, Yass boasts a fabulous sense of community, spectacular natural scenery, and a laid-back country lifestyle.

Just under a one-hour drive to Canberra CBD, the home presents the opportunity to get away from the rat-race yet be located close to all amenities.

Berry

9 Cambewarra Lookout Road

Price guide: $1.2 million–$1.25 million

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car space

If there was ever an opportunity to turn a holiday home into an actual home, would you take it?

Bringing this opportunity to life is Tree House, a home set high on Cambewarra Mountain that – while hidden among giant gumtrees – enjoys vast views through remarkable Kangaroo Valley. It’s both literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air.

Recently renovated, the bright and cheerful home is built to not just complement the surrounding landscape, but truly make the most of it.

Every room boasts numerous windows that look out to the overly green vistas and dapple the home in natural light. Even the kitchen splashback and bathroom showers look out to the mountains beyond.

The upper level contains the open-plan living area and kitchen, which features Corian benchtops and modern stainless steel appliances. Eye-catching design features include impressive polished timber floors and a fireplace.
