Mawson

With Rosalie Iannelli

View property

Sophisticated, spacious and luxurious – the home at 16 MacRobertson Street, Mawson, is nothing short of a triple threat. 

Having recently received an elegant renovation, it’s part of an exclusive club of Canberra homes – ones that have their original quirks thoughtfully integrated with their modern makeovers, resulting in the most unique of houses. 

Feel the weight of the world lift off your shoulders as you step inside and discover its expansive floor plan, high ceilings, generous bedrooms and open-plan living and dining. 

Allow the fresh air to roll in from the outside via a huge, covered al fresco area with polished concrete at the rear which overlooks the inground pool. It’s practically an extension of the indoor living space and currently houses an entertaining suite and gym. 

The kitchen and bathroom finishes are jaw-droppingly good. Strangely, you’ll be equally as excited to cook a roast in the Miele oven as you are to soak in the incredible above-ground bath.

What makes this home extra special is its position among the leafy, hospitable streets of Mawson, where weekends are spent strolling to the local shops for a panini at Tutto Deli or the famous buns at Under Bakery. 

Price guide: $1.61 million

This entry-level home has been recently renovated and boasts new floorboards, fresh carpet, LED lighting and quality appliances in the kitchen.

Nothing draws family and friends like having an open-plan dining and living area that’s drenched in natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The front courtyard is both private and easy to maintain, and the bedrooms offer ample space to lounge in.

The main bedroom has access to a north-facing balcony, and if the price tag isn’t alluring enough, the property is also conveniently located in the heart of Cook, with the local shops only a stone’s throw away.

This is a home for the growing family.

With six bedrooms and about 600 square metres of living, a large kitchen with a walk-in pantry, and multiple living spaces, this property will surely leave a good impression on visitors.

The new home owners could easily head to the covered alfresco area and watch daylight dissolve.
