All display homes are designed to inspire and to show off the best of what’s possible, but some raise the bar altogether, like 13 Nelson Terrace in Bungendore.
Crowned the region’s 2024 display home of the year by the Housing Industry Association, this architectural standout is quite the showpiece and is now ready for someone to call home.
Set on more than 1000 square metres, the house balances bold design with comfort. The striking exterior – all clean lines and rich textures – opens to a layout that’s expansive and cleverly zoned.
Downstairs, a formal lounge hides the main-bedroom suite, with its own courtyard, walk-in wardrobe and elegant en suite, while a separate study will entice you to work from home.
PRD Bungendore & Queanbeyan agent Ben Lee says ‘The Contempo’ display home is one of the most outstanding homes in the region.
“This as-new architectural marvel embodies contemporary design, boasting sleek lines, innovative materials and forward-thinking concepts,” he says. “It’s all ready to move straight into.”
The spacious kitchen is worth lingering in.
Fully integrated appliances, a built-in fridge and dishwasher, and a butler’s pantry that mirrors the main kitchen in size make it an entertainer’s dream.
Open-plan living and dining areas wrap a central deck, linking seamlessly with the outdoor entertaining space and full outdoor kitchen. This comes with heating for year-round use and is positioned to take in sweeping rural views.
Upstairs, a rumpus room sits alongside the hidden retreat: a second main-bedroom suite with its own lounge, a walk-in wardrobe, a private balcony and a free-standing bath angled perfectly to catch the views.
It’s the kind of space that feels like a boutique getaway – just one you never have to check out of.
Blending country warmth with creative energy, Bungendore is known for its thriving arts scene and strong sense of community. The village is a popular spot for those seeking a tree change.
Think cafes, wineries and weekend markets, with Canberra just a short commute away.
