Note from the editor
When last weekend’s auction results landed, I audibly gasped –Canberra posted a 74 per cent clearance rate, the highest I’ve seen in years. Despite the RBA holding off on the interest rate cut many were expecting, buyer confidence is clearly building across the market. This week’s issue spotlights homes that span eras, from the best of contemporary design to the well-preserved past. Our Cover Story (p10) takes you inside an architect’s own Ainslie home, a project years in the making and packed with thoughtful detail. Then turn to page 12 for a rare mid-century treasure in Deakin by the celebrated architect Miles Jakl – an elegant reminder of the design legacy that continues to shape Canberra.
A spacious and sleek standout
With its warm timber, sleek concrete and angular roof, the facade of 27 Maymuru Way in Whitlam instantly catches the eye.
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with herringbone floors, timber accents and statement lights.
The spacious ground floor offers a dedicated lounge room separate from the open-plan living and dining areas, which flow seamlessly into the kitchen. Featuring a marble-look island bench, premium appliances and a butler’s pantry, it’s perfect for passionate cooks and entertainers alike.
Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a rumpus room and a main-bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and luxe en suite, which agent Alexander Smout of Belle Property Canberra describes as a “peaceful retreat”.
“Complete with twin vanities, a spacious shower and a spa-jet bathtub, what more could you need?” he asks. Surrounded by green space and an easy drive from the CBD, this listing is the whole package. The July 16 auction has a price guide of $1.8 million.

Luxe home is a family affair
Designed by an architect father and built by his sons, this sixbedroom Ainslie house boasts an impressive level of detail.
Building a home for an architect is no small task. It’s even more pressure when the architect is also the client. And when that client happens to be your father, living on-site, watching the build unfold, the stakes go up yet another notch.
The vision for the house at 53 Tyson Street in Ainslie came first, followed by a years-long search for the right block to house a home of its magnitude.
A sprawling 1280-square-metre lot proved just the right fit, and the existing small brick house was knocked down to make way for a brand-new home.
The result is a six-bedroom, sixbathroom, double-storey masterpiece, designed by its architect-owner and brought to life by his sons through their building company, Estate Constructions.
“They were all very personally invested in this project,” says listing agent Michael
Wellsmore of LJ Hooker Belconnen.
“When you go through the house, the quality of all the fixtures and fittings is very high-end. They’ve really thought about everything.”
From the formal entry, a two-storey void sets the tone for the scale and sophistication of what’s beyond. On the lower level are a formal lounge and a dining area with a fireplace. There are also more casual spaces, including the kitchen, meals area, family room, and rumpus room with a custom bar.
The design ensures that all spaces can adapt as needed.
“The living areas have fully hidden cavity slider doors … so you can pull them across and close spaces off or open them all up,” Wellsmore says. “This is the level of detail when there’s an architectowner who is executing a vision and wants to get it right.”
Lavish: The kitchen has two 600-millimetre ovens, two cooktops, an integrated fridge-freezer and stone waterfall benchtops. A butler’s pantry sits to the rear.

“This is the level of detail when there’s an architect-owner who is executing a vision and wants to get it right.” Michael Wellsmore
The kitchen is similarly impressive, with two 900-millimetre ovens, two cooktops – one induction and one gas –plus an integrated fridge-freezer, stone waterfall benchtops and a butler’s pantry. Step outside and you’re met with a private oasis. An outdoor kitchen features a barbecue, fridge and sink, all positioned alongside a six-metre pool that is heated and self-cleaning.
The first step of the project was the construction of a self-contained flat where the owner lived throughout the build. It’s now an impressive pool cabana, with its own kitchen, bathroom, laundry and separate multipurpose room.
The home’s accommodation is also expansive. On the upper level are four bedrooms, including a luxurious mainbedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe, an oversized en suite and a balcony overlooking the pool. At the other end is yet another bedroom and en suite.
There are thoughtful touches throughout, such as a large linen press providing additional wardrobe space,
and a laundry chute that runs straight from upstairs to the laundry.
Back downstairs, the guest bedroom enjoys privacy, a huge built-in wardrobe and yet another en suite, while a separate den could be used as a sixth bedroom and also boasts direct bathroom access.
Then there’s the garage. It houses five cars, and features a dedicated EV-charging point, a space for a boat or caravan, a wine cellar crafted out of bricks from the original home – some of which have been turned around to reveal the original Canberra brick stamp –and a gym area with its own fan.
Even with its prime Inner North location, Wellsmore says the home feels like your own little world.
“It’s exceedingly private,” he says.
“When you’re inside, you suddenly realise just how private.
“You can close the front door and just shut out the world.”
This feature is part of an Allhomes Deluxe package.
Thoughtful touches: The home has a sophisticated materials palette, and “the quality of all the fixtures and fittings is very high-end”, the agent says.
ARCHITECTURE

A fusion of form, function and vision
Blending inspired mid-century modern design with purpose, Vidovic House is a statement in Canberra’s architectural history.
It’s not often that a home of architectural significance comes to market. But when it does, well, a fortunate buyer will become the new custodian of a rare piece of Canberra history.
That will be the case with 14 Beauchamp Street in Deakin, also known as Vidovic House, which set a standard for mid-century modern design when it was built in 1967, authored by celebrated architect Miles Jakl. Jakl was born in Patek, Czechoslovakia, in 1923 and studied in Prague and Paris, but graduated as an architect in Melbourne in 1960.
You could say Jakl came to Deakin by way of Red Hill, where he earlier designed the iconic Carousel restaurant in 1963 for restaurateur Peter Vidovic. Jakl’s design philosophy was influenced by European modernism, a philosophy that emphasised that architecture should be both functional and inspirational.
After his Canberra achievements, Jakl moved to Los Angeles and continued to work until his death in 2010.
However, he left a legacy in Canberra, writ bold in Vidovic House through a strong geometric approach to its architecture – sharp, clean lines, big windows, the organic warmth of timber, and an intimate connection to the environment and location.
It has been a media darling in terms of coverage over the decades and is also prominently featured in the book 100 Canberra Houses by Tim Reeves and Alan Roberts.
The residence is set on 852 square metres in one of Canberra’s most tightly held locations.
It appears pavilion-style, set deep on its block, the approach softened by complementary landscaping that settles the home into its environment.
Above: Big windows draw light into the interiors. Right: The house has a strong connection to the environment.
Space and style: The floor plan celebrates open-plan living through the common areas.
The residence now offers 317 square metres of living space, much of it featuring distinctive parquetry flooring and custom timber highlights. It charms with delightful touches such as Japanese silk wallpaper in the main living area.
Janae McLister of Belle Property Canberra says it’s the attention to detail throughout that elevates the experience.
“There’s so much to take in, some of it subtle like a suspended ceiling segment in the living area,” she says.
“That conceals lighting that adds immeasurably to the ambience in the evening hours – it just goes to the thought that has gone in.”
The floor plan celebrates open-plan living through the common areas that bring people together, contrasted by
the sense of space and privacy in the bedroom wing.
The main bedroom features a dressing area, while the en suite contains a sunken bath and original Italian fixtures and fittings. There are two further generously sized bedrooms.
The core of the home offers plenty of space, centred on a kitchen and meals area that flows into a spacious family, dining and living zone. Adjacent is a fourth bedroom or home office.
The upgraded kitchen offers classic white benchtops, designer fittings, brand appliances, and an integrated dishwasher and fridge.
A heated in-ground pool and a dining zone under the roofline highlight the outdoor space. A lower level delivers a
spacious living area that offers many options, and a bathroom.
There’s also access to another outdoor area and a double garage, with additional parking next to the driveway.
McLister says the home has been a drawcard at inspections.
“We’ve had big numbers through and amazing feedback,” she says. “That’s ranged from comments on the play of light [to] the home’s warm and welcoming ambience – even the home owner’s careful selection of furnishings.”
The home is ideally located near top schools, the Deakin shops and the Red Hill Nature Reserve.
Vidovic House represents a high watermark in mid-century modern design, shaped by a visionary designer.

Enduring charm … with a twist
There’s something so satisfying about a good surprise, especially when it’s the kind that makes everyday life a little easier.
At 61 McIntyre Street in Narrabundah, that surprise comes in the form of a self-contained one-bedroom unit, tucked behind the renovated family home.
Set on an 821-square-metre corner block just a short stroll from the Griffith shops, it’s a home that blends timeless charm with modern flexibility.
Step in from the front verandah, and you’re welcomed by the formal lounge.
Just beyond, a spacious dining and family room features built-in cabinetry and a fireplace.
A generous meals area flows into the kitchen – recently updated with stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, and a walk-in pantry area that actually fits the weekly shop – with direct access to a large entertainer’s deck.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and desks, as well as a separate study for work-from-home ease. The mainbedroom suite enjoys its own courtyard
access, beautiful bay window and an en suite, making it a private retreat at one end of the home.
And then, the twist: a separate onebedroom unit – with its own kitchen, living and dining space, skylight, bathroom and fenced yard – perfect for multigenerational families, independent teens or guests.
With freshly landscaped gardens, floating timber floors, ducted gas heating, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles, this turnkey home delivers a full serve of both comfort and character.
“This is timeless character seamlessly reimagined with modern versatility. A turnkey opportunity situated on a premier corner parcel featuring an additional one-bedroom unit, perfectly tailored for ... versatility.”
Narrabundah’s appeal lies in its quiet streets, leafy outlooks and top-notch proximity to the best of the Inner South. Griffith shops, Fyshwick markets, Lake Burley Griffin and Manuka are all minutes away.

‘Good people’
Who Natalie Kokic Schmidt, Jason Anasson, Rachel Anasson, Lucia Marzano, Stephanie Lee and Eva Bustamante Gonzalez Agency Goodhaus Property • Where Belconnen
Establishing a new brand in Canberra’s competitive real estate industry is no small undertaking. It takes a distinctive offering to cut through the noise and resonate with the public.
This, however, has not daunted Jason Anasson, Natalie Kokic Schmidt and Rachel Anasson, the founders of Goodhaus Property, a firm providing boutique property management and sales services across Canberra and its surrounding regions.
With an aligned mindset focused on elevating trust and authenticity in the real estate experience, the trio have funnelled their energy and passion for property into building a team – and reputation – that puts people first.
Rachel Anasson says they work hard to make Goodhaus Property synonymous
with a positive and results-driven property journey.
“We have a client-centred approach first and foremost,” she says. “We’re heavily invested in our team, which, as a result, ensures our clients have the best representation and assets behind them.”
If the rising number of sold listings, leased properties and online testimonials of happy vendors are anything to go by, the dynamic group is clearly hitting its mark.
Armed with extensive market knowledge and insights – particularly across North Canberra – and decades
of collective business expertise, the Belconnen-based firm is going from strength to strength 12 months after its official launch.
As many home owners can attest, selling property can be a stressful time. Rachel says the Goodhaus team aims to alleviate that pressure by creating a supportive and transparent environment. Its approach is agile, but centred on “taking real estate back to basics”, where open communication and care underpin the entire real estate experience.
“We listen, we observe, and we dedicate our strategy to ensuring our clients are heard and understood every step of the way,” she says. “Our agents focus on what the client’s ultimate goal is, working strategically to place them in the best possible position to achieve it within the market conditions.”
The ambition for Goodhaus is farreaching. With a clear vision for the future, the high-performing agency is poised to introduce innovative changes.
“Goodhaus Property is here to revolutionise the industry,” Rachel says.
“We have huge goals and some incredible elements to the business we will be rolling out.”
For now, when Canberrans see the Goodhaus brand, they want you to associate it with “good people”.
“We want our vendors to feel good about real estate when they think of Goodhaus Property,” she says.
“We are dedicated to ensuring the property journey is a positive experience for our clients.”
This feature is part of an Allhomes package.

A slice of city nightlife with secure returns
There’s been a lot happening in and around the heritage Sydney Building in recent years, including big-ticket items like the Verity Lane redevelopment and the light rail.
However, beyond the infrastructure, there has been a distinct cultural shift, with a lot more night-time activity that has drawn in, principally, a younger crowd.
One address that packs them in over three levels houses the popular Fun Time Pony, One22, Bada Bing Dining Club and Al’s Diner. That building, with all those secure leases, is now looking for a new owner.
It’s going to require some deep pockets, but it’s not often that nearly 1200 square metres of city space comes to market – particularly a space that has benefited from more than $5 million in refurbishment and fitouts.
Tim Grosmann of Savills Sydney says the opportunity is likely to appeal to a (very) high-net-worth individual or property syndicate.
“The Sydney Building is a Canberra icon and it’s rare to see an address within it come to market offering this volume
of floor space,” he says. “It’s a timely opportunity to stake a place in the new buzz … around the city centre.”
The property generates more than $800,000 in net annual income, boosted by yearly rent increases. Tenants pay all of the outgoings.
