Top 4 homes in Canberra to inspect this weekend

This job has given me the opportunity to browse properties every day and there’s nothing like searching for a home that ticks many of your own boxes.

I’ve been spoilt for choice these past few weeks, adding homes to my watchlist like I’m adding items to my shopping wishlist.

It’s a treasure trove at times, and this week’s selection of properties has truly been a good bunch.

So, make an appointment to explore our list of must-inspect properties this week across Canberra.

Wherever you are in your property journey, we hope these top picks spark some inspiration.

If you want a home that feels like a 24/7 holiday, then look no further than 17 Rouseabout Street, Lawson.

Panoramic views from almost every room and an award-winning pool should be enough to seal the deal, but the reality is, that’s only just scratching the surface of this home that combines incredible amenity with luxurious design.

Be prepared to be the “halfway house” for all of your kid’s friends. Or rather, the house where everyone around you will spend the majority of their time throughout the weekends and holiday periods.

It could have something to do with the premium cinema room with theatre-style seating, Dolby Atmos built-in speakers, a kitchenette, acoustic walls and blackout curtains.

Then there’s the fully equipped gym – with built-in speakers – that overlooks the atrium or the oversized rumpus with a custom built-in bar and ample space for a pool table.

The kitchen is equipped to easily whip-up epic feasts for the masses and the pool area is made for lounging away summer afternoons.

I’m sure I’ve seen something very similar on a recent episode of The Kardashians. Only this home isn’t located in Calabasas, it’s in our own backyard.

Price guide: $3 million – $3.5 million

The main residence includes a light-filled, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area and spacious bedrooms with views of the well-maintained backyard.

Any of the bedrooms could easily be converted into a separate rumpus room or a dedi

cated study space. The second dwelling could be used as a teenager’s retreat or a potential source of rental income.

It’s fitted with a self-contained kitchen with an induction cooktop and has its own separate access and parking space.

The shared backyard has ample green space for those with a green thumb and looking to create their own veggie patch or flower garden. If gardening isn’t your calling, the landscaping offers low-maintenance living for the next owners.
