I’ve always advocated for refurbished homes as opposed to knockdown-rebuilds. The result is always something totally unique, where the home’s originality is woven through contemporary styles.

The home at 6 Howchin Place epitomises this concept, bringing about a statement design and layout beyond imagination. Described as a combination of harmony, mystery and intrigue, your senses will be roused as you make your way through this home.

Take the main bedroom, for example. Sitting on the first floor of the home, it exemplifies everything a main bedroom suite should. Sunny-ready nooks sit alongside easterly views towards Isaacs Ridge. Or take your reading onto the balcony while overlooking the enchanting back garden. Luxury comes in the form of an enormous walk-in wardrobe and stylish bathroom capped off with clerestory windows.

Every finish in the home has been chosen with the utmost care. Original wave-pattern cornices give a gentle nod to the mid-century residence. Plantation shutters, black subway tiles, and concrete and timber flooring propel the home to the modern day.

But the piece de resistance is the al fresco barbecue area with a pizza oven, electric share screen, concrete paving and timber deck seating.

This three-bedroom, separate-title townhouse is vacant and ready for someone to call “home, sweet home”.

As you enter, you’re greeted by a wide hallway that leads to two bedrooms, each with its own built-in wardrobe, and a living room that could easily be the kids’ playroom.

Upstairs is where you’ll find the open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, fitted with contemporary features, quality appliances and plenty of storage space.

The space enjoys a wealth of natural light thanks to the expansive windows throughout, with outlooks towards the tree-lined streets.

The main bedroom – also on the first floor – comes with a sizeable en suite and walk-in robe. Both the main bedroom and living room spill seamlessly into the balcony area for indoor-outdoor living.

Price guide: $1.1 million

Located in the Inner North, 11 Bonney Street is not only conveniently close to the hustle and bustle of Canberra city, but it also has many perks on offer.

With multiple living areas, a cellar, a kitchen with butler’s pantry and an entertainment area covered by a Vergola overlooking the pool and established gardens, a summer soiree here will be divine.

All the bedrooms are spacious in size and hug the living areas with the main bedroom boasting a large walk-in robe, a parent’s retreat and an en suite with a fre-standing bath and double shower.

Price guide: $3.5 million+

Picture perfect comes to mind when looking at this address.

The recently renovated home has plenty of light-filled spaces thanks to a number of Velux skylights throughout, while the main bedroom has an electric fireplace and access to the deck that boasts views of the capital and beyond. 

The open-plan living includes a built-in entertainment unit and a kitchen that runs the length of the dining and living area that spills onto the deck.

There’s much to love about living here.
