Note from the editor
What’s the most valuable part of a home? For years, the answer was always the kitchen. While that may hold true, a new report reveals that a more natural element is adding serious dollars to a sale price. As our Insights story (p16) explores, gardens can add 20 per cent to a Canberra house price. When you consider how greenery can create the feel of a sanctuary (like in our beautiful Home of the Week in Duffy), you understand the appeal. However, few have integrated green life into their homes quite like TV host Jamie Durie. I couldn’t resist including his nine-level Sydney marvel – with 3000 plants! – in this edition. The inspiring read goes some way to explaining the eye-watering asking price.
Modern with hints of history
From the outside, this architectdesigned, three-bedroom home on one of Googong’s best streets appears strikingly modern. Look a little closer and you’ll see pieces of history woven into its fabric, such as recycled Canberra red bricks and reclaimed timber supplied by the Thor’s Hammer workshop. It’s this elegant contrast of old and new, of crisp edges against soft rural vistas, that makes this property at 14 Borough Ridge so appealing.
Built just two years ago, each element has been carefully thought out, from the polished concrete floors warmed by a hydronic heating system to the covered outdoor eating area and the compact study with built-in cabinetry.
Upstairs, the main-bedroom suite includes a seating area, an en suite with double basins, an oversized walk-in wardrobe and two balconies.
Agent Dan McAlpine of Belle Property Queanbeyan describes the home as a true sanctuary for modern living. He gives a price guide in the high$1 million range.

Separate studio delivers versatility
Home office? Guest accommodation? A bonus building is an intriguing addition to this appealing lifestyle home in Cook.
This remarkable Cook home has a story that starts in the backyard, with a feature that will appeal to a wide variety of buyers – a bonus studio. These spaces can range from an old brick single garage with a basic upgrade, all the way to a dwelling that might qualify as a second residence.
The Cook property owners have certainly invested toward the upper end of the description, giving this studio its own defined space on an overall 832-square-metre block.
The building cuts an appealing silhouette through its cladding and Colorbond skin. Inside, it offers a living space, en suite and kitchenette that are ideal for extended family, guests, a home office, or perhaps a short-term rental.
There’s also an integrated storage space.
Agent Brenden Blewitt of Blewitt
Properties says the studio has impressed through its design style and the quality of its fixtures, fittings and finishes.
“It adds genuine versatility to the property and is a great addition to the home, offering a comfortable and private detached space,” he says.
“Homes with self-contained studios are certainly sought-after by a broad range of demographics – from intergenerational families to those after guest accommodation or an additional income source.”
The main two-storey home is, of course, the star of the show, and it clearly reflects the same design philosophy that inspired the studio.

From the street, it presents a striking facade of dynamic geometry, where contrasting materials in neutral tones are warmed by a pop of honeyed timber at the front door.
The entry leads into a gallery-style space that showcases a floating timber and steel staircase. There’s a formal lounge that offers a peaceful retreat, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, laundry and study in this node.
Blewitt says the home draws in abundant natural light.
“That’s amplified by high ceilings, a neutral colour palette and reclaimed solid-timber flooring to the main living areas,” he says.
“This is complemented by a very effective floor plan that provides quiet, private spaces and a hub that brings people together.”
The generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area forms the heart of
the home. The designer kitchen has an island bench with stone benchtops and timber highlights, a large oven, an induction cooktop, and a walk-in pantry.
There’s another bedroom and bathroom located beyond the dining area – ideal for a guest.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a spacious walk-through wardrobe and indulgent en suite with a double vanity, double shower and heated floors.
Beyond the walls, the landscaped grounds keep delivering surprises, with a golf putting green, a fire pit, a sparkling
in-ground plunge pool, and a covered entertaining area.
Blewitt says the design thinking has extended into the outdoor spaces.
“There are zones for entertaining or maybe just for conversation and a drink around the fire pit,” he says.
“But there’s no doubt the pool and the putting green will offer some summer fun – it just shows what you can do with space and imagination.”
An oversized four-car garage features extra-high ceilings, reinforced flooring (allowing for the installation of a hoist), internal access and a rear roller door.
“When we talk about lifestyle, this is exactly what we mean – a home designed for comfort, practicality and enjoyment,” Blewitt says.
“This home ticks all the boxes – and goes even further – when it comes to the inclusion of thoughtful extras that make it a joy to come home to.”

BEHIND THE LISTING
Words by Chris Pearson • Portrait photo by Peter Rae
The “hanging gardens of Avalon” is what affable landscape designer and TV host Jamie Durie calls his luminous living room overlooking Pittwater on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. With around 330 plants, including philodendrons and ivy, reaching upwards, downwards and sideways in the soaring double-height void, it could well be one of the wonders of contemporary Sydney architecture.
When Durie bought the Avalon Beach property in 2015, it was occupied by a scruffy mid-century weekender, enveloped in bush on a site tumbling down to its own prized beach and jetty. His original vision for the property was a series of prefabricated cubes crouched among the eucalypts and clinging to the 37-degree slope, with an anticipated build time of three months.
But, with 20-plus spotted gums to retain and negotiate, that plan wouldn’t cut it. In something of an understatement, the project grew like mad and now extends over nine levels from the road down to the water’s edge, with many pockets of low-maintenance garden along the way.
Durie met his wife, singer-songwriter Ameka Jane, in 2020, and they have since had two children, daughter Beau, 4, and son Nash, 2. Durie’s aspirations grew with his family, and something more lavish formed in his mind.
To help him navigate those spotted gums as well as tricky DAs, he recruited architecture studio Silvester Fuller.
Paradoxically, and perhaps the biggest wonder of all, something so large and luxe remains kind to the planet.
The terraced levels accommodate six bedrooms and six bathrooms, with a child-friendly rooftop garden on the
top floor, an entry level with study and mezzanine, living areas below those on the ground floor, sleeping areas on the lower ground, a “wellbeing level” with Pilates studio, sauna and steam room, a separate guest house below the main house, and, finally, a boathouse with the water lapping around it.
“It’s like a waterfall,” Durie says, “but with gardens tumbling down instead; the balconies draped with flowering native pandorea and hardenbergia vines.”
While most of the spaces sit in the tree canopy and enjoy water views through expansive glass, the “hero of the show” is an open-plan area approached from the entry-level mezzanine and down a spotted-gum staircase with sculptural shelving. It’s a match for the everchanging natural spectacle before it.
“That beautiful open, lofty space, drenched in sunlight, makes my heart sing,” Durie says. “We call this Belah House, after the local First Nations people’s word for sun. West-facing, it enjoys that rarity on the east coast – gorgeous multicoloured sunsets over water.”
Every airy and light-soaked space meets Durie’s brief for “a functional forever home that treads lightly on the planet”.
In tandem with those oxygengenerating plants immersing the living room in waves of foliage, Durie embraced all things eco-friendly, resulting in a home that is powered by solar and geothermal energy, and has the potential to go off-grid.
Sustainability and zero volatile organic compounds were watchwords when selecting the materials. Low-carbon concrete was used in the construction, while the inside boasts sustainable

Environmentally friendly: The interiors boast sustainable spotted gum, recyclable silica-free stone and carpets made from recycled plastic.
spotted gum, recyclable silica-free stone for the monolithic kitchen island bench, and carpets made from recycled plastic.
To ensure his masterpiece melds seamlessly with its bushland setting, Durie planted around 3000 native plants, with automatic watering via rainwater tanks totalling 57,000-litres, and clad it in sandstone.
“I love turning waste into wonderful,” he says. “On the north and south sides facing the neighbours, I created 330 square metres of vertical gardens with natives planted in geotextile blankets made of recycled plastic bottles harvested from the ocean.”
He articulated the facade in sandstone to create a flowing, organic form.
Now, despite this long-time labour of love, Durie and his family are decamping
to their 30-hectare farm in the Northern Rivers, while the children are still young.
“This was to be our forever home, but unexpected door-knocks from potential buyers made us ask where we wanted to be right now,” he says.
“There, the children are connected to the earth, growing their own veggies and looking after the chooks. But we will eventually return to the Northern Beaches – I love its sense of community.”
With interest at around the $33 million mark, he could soon receive an offer too good to refuse.
“We built the most sustainable house we could, at this point in time,” Durie says. “This is my life’s best work. I hope it goes to someone who understands it and is going to be its custodian. It’s a legacy house.”

Leafy spaces offer long-lasting value
Canberra home owners are reaping the rewards of the capital’s leafy reputation, with new research revealing gardens and green spaces are adding significant value to local properties.
According to the Plant Value Report, conducted by Greener Spaces Better Places in partnership with Domain, Canberra leads the country with 49 per cent of house listings featuring greenery – the highest proportion nationwide. This reflects the city’s distinctive character, defined by its established gardens and carefully landscaped streetscapes, which have become central to its identity.
The financial benefits are substantial. Houses with greenery achieve a 19.9 per cent price premium, translating to significant additional value for sellers. Beyond price, green features also help properties sell faster; Canberra homes featuring gardens selling four days faster than those without.
“Canberra leads the country with 49 per cent of house listings featuring greenery.” Olwyn Conrau
The trend extends to the unit market. In the ACT, 22.5 per cent of unit listings feature green elements, such as balcony gardens or communal green areas, providing a 13.7 per cent uplift for owners.
These apartments sell significantly faster, spending an average of eight fewer days on the market.
According to the report, greenery is emerging as an essential element of liveable design, one that elevates both lifestyle and property value, as cities grow taller and outdoor space becomes increasingly scarce.
Nationally, about a third of houses for sale feature greenery, selling for 17.4 per cent more or adding an average of $140,000 to the median sale price. It is a similar case for units, which record a 16.1 per cent premium, or roughly $100,000 more.

Resort luxury for everyday life
It’s a rare thing to find a home that can host a dinner party, a family holiday and a tennis match – all in one day. But there is one in Duffy that manages it with ease.

The butler’s pantry adds even more luxury with twin Vintec wine fridges, another oven and abundant storage.

“It’s not just a home, it’s a private resort for everyday living, where every space has been designed to elevate how a family lives and entertains.”
and a spa en suite, while the guest suite and three additional bedrooms cater effortlessly to family life.
Beyond the walls, a 12-metre heated mineral pool with a cabana, a full-sized tennis court with a basketball hoop, a playground and lush lawns create a private family resort. From out here, you can also enjoy views stretching across the Arboretum, Black Mountain and Parliament House.

The banquette makes a comeback
A stylish breakfast nook can help make the most of tight kitchen and dining spaces.
When you dine out, most people gravitate to the banquette seating around a table. What if you could bring this feature in-house?
What does a breakfast nook look like?
The breakfast nook lends itself to flexibility with an infinite range of styles from which to draw inspiration.
The classic feature can be built-in or free-standing, to fit the space you’re working with.
“It can wrap around to flow with your dining table or walls, and could even be backless for a more minimal approach,” says Yvonne Li, design manager at interior design firm Tom Mark Henry. She recommends adding throw cushions and pendant lighting to create ambience and personality.
Which spaces are breakfast nooks best suited to?
Breakfast nooks can help home owners to make the most of smaller areas, acting as a functional solution for tight kitchen or dining spaces.
“Primarily designed for space efficiency, they optimise compact areas where traditional dining tables and chairs might not fit,” says Alicia McKimm, director at GOLDEN.
Dimensions for banquette seating in a dining room.
Height: 45 centimetres and depth: 45 to 50 centimetres, depending on preference. Li says you can vary the cushion depth depending on your planned use of the space.
If you’d like to use the breakfast nook for casual lounging, you may want to opt for a deeper cushion if you have the space. Don’t forget to account for the backrest depth in your calculations.
What design function does a breakfast nook serve?
Kylie Buhagiar, director at GOLDEN, says breakfast nooks go beyond providing a place to eat.
“Rather than the formal structure of a dining room, breakfast nooks offer a casual, cosy alternative,” she says. “A place for quiet morning coffees, a childfriendly zone for homework, or simply a restful space for shared meals away from bustling central kitchen areas.”
Where do breakfast nooks go?
Li adds that the breakfast nook can bring a unique design personality to gathering spaces.
She says the studio has seen banquette seating in a variety of areas, like enclosed patios, main bedroom suites, living spaces, dining areas.
“It’s a seamless and beautiful solution for areas where it’s a bit smaller and awkward for seating access,” says Li.
“Rather than the formal structure of a dining room, breakfast nooks offer a casual, cosy alternative.”
The perfect fit: A barn-style home was restored by GOLDEN, with banquette seating inviting connection.

A warehouse-home with room to grow
Fyshwick still holds the crown as Canberra’s most in-demand light industrial precinct, for one good reason – it’s worn that title for much longer than any wannabe rivals.
That’s why it continues to offer options like this recently renovated property, comprising a 585-square-metre warehouse on a 1219-square-metre site.
It also has office accommodation and a caretaker’s residence, built to residential home standards, with a living area, quality kitchen, bathroom and laundry, and featuring bespoke cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling tiles.
The site also carries an approved DA to expand the warehouse by a further 360 square metres. A wide range of industrial activities is permitted.
“This kind of offer, one that presents a quality warehouse with a high-end caretaker’s residence and plenty of parking, just doesn’t come along very
often,” says Chris Antos of Sentia Real Estate.
“It has that immediate scope to expand, making it a perfect option for owneroccupiers, investors or developers looking to stake a place in Fyshwick’s continued growth.”
The property is partially leased, delivering a passing annual gross income of around $131,000.
An additional 339 square metres is available for lease or to occupy. The site stakes 32 metres of Geelong Street frontage and is about 38 metres deep.
