A home without compromise We don’t like to throw the word “flawless” around too often, but 21 Stella Young Way, Denman Prospect, deserves the accolade. From the white curves and wood panels of the exterior to the custommade Tasmanian oak staircase, herringbone flooring, and kitchen in the perfect shade of mint green, there’s not a thing you would change. It’s practical as well as pretty. This new house offers more than 250 square metres of space across two levels. On the first floor are four bedrooms (including a main-bedroom suite that wouldn’t be out of place in a five-star hotel), two bathrooms, two living areas and a terrace with a built-in barbecue. The ground level has a one-bedroom studio with separate access and its own kitchen. A lift connects the two floors. “The home is a statement in contemporary luxury and has been executed to an uncompromising standard,” says agent Eva Bono from Hive Property, who is handling the private sale.

OUR COVER The Eastbourne, 62 Constitution Avenue, Parkes, listed by LJ Hooker Project Marketing Page 12
Canberra homes have always had to work a little harder. Our four distinct seasons mean good design isn’t just about what looks beautiful, but what makes daily life more comfortable year-round. In this edition, we ask local agents and designers what the perfect Canberra home actually needs. Their answers are refreshingly practical: smart orientation, adaptable spaces, seamless indoor-outdoor living and plenty of storage. It’s a reminder that the features we value most aren’t always the showstoppers in listing photos. Often, they’re the thoughtful details working quietly in the background, making a home warmer, cooler, calmer and easier to live in every day.

Private sale Agent: Agent Team, Steve Lowe 0489 276 122 This striking Spanish mission-style home in leafy Hawker certainly stands out from its neighbours, with bright white walls, terracotta tiles, arches and wrought iron accents. Held by the same owner since being built in 1974, the house retains the charm of its era and style (like the classic amber glass doors to the living room), with extensive updates that suit modern living. Landscaped gardens, established trees and multiple courtyards invite you to spend more time outside. Schools, shops and parklands are all nearby.

COVER STORY Words by Jil Hogan
Where downsizing feels like a luxury upgrade
F
or generations of Canberrans, Parkes has been somewhere to work, visit or wander through on a weekend, but rarely somewhere to call home. The Eastbourne is a development that has introduced a new residential address to this traditionally civic part of the capital, with five apartment buildings now sitting among the parklands between Constitution Avenue and Lake Burley Griffin. “The Eastbourne is a genuinely rare address,” says LJ Hooker Project Marketing’s Keenan Veraar. Apartments here range from onebedroom to two and three-bedroom configurations and penthouses, with a variety of layouts still available.
12 | Allhomes
The apartments have been designed for people who want the ease of apartment living without giving up space, privacy or a connection to the outdoors. “The idea was to create apartments people could comfortably live in for many years, particularly owneroccupiers moving from larger homes who don’t want apartment living to feel like a compromise,” Veraar says. “The floor plans prioritise generous living areas, storage and flexibility, with no awkward or wasted space.” That approach continues through the interiors, where engineered timber flooring and granite benchtops are complemented by Miele kitchen appliances, double glazing, and ducted heating and cooling.
Generous storage is integrated throughout, with the quality of the finishes remaining consistent across the development. “The interiors were designed to feel premium but also easy to live with over time,” Veraar says. Depending on the residence, the outlooks take in some of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks, including Lake Burley Griffin, the National Carillon, Parliament House and Mount Ainslie.
Nature nearby: Residents are moments from Lake Burley Griffin and expansive parklands, ideal for walking, cycling and recreation.
At a glance The Eastbourne 62 Constitution Avenue, Parkes Developer: Amalgamated Property Group Architect: DBI Design Number of dwellings: one, two and three-bed apartments and penthouses. Prices: $635,000-$2.75 million Expected completion: Complete and move-in ready Sales: LJ Hooker Project Marketing, Keenan Veraar 0402 914 037 Open homes: 62 Constitution Avenue, Parkes. Open seven days.
“The location means it’s so convenient to enjoy the outdoors with the lake and parklands right there.” Keenan Veraar The development’s facilities introduce another layer to the lifestyle. Residents arrive through a grand lobby with a concierge service, storage for grocery deliveries and a secure parcel room. Then there’s the 25-metre indoor pool, spa and sauna, two gymnasiums, landscaped gardens and a business lounge. And then there is what lies beyond the development itself, with Commonwealth Park and Lake Burley Griffin effectively on the doorstep. “The shared spaces, private lobbies and pedestrian links into Commonwealth Park help it feel connected to its surroundings. The location means it’s so convenient to enjoy the outdoors with the lake and parklands right there, as well as Canberra’s best events such as Floriade and Sky Fire,” Veraar says. “There’s a real sense that the parkland and broader precinct are part of the residential experience.” Residents also get to call East Traders Hall their local. The vibrant
hospitality precinct brings together venues including Lava Coffee, Sliceria, World by Chairman Group and Lager House by Capital Brewing Co., putting coffee, dining and places to meet right downstairs. For recent retirees Clare and Stephen, living at The Eastbourne has changed the way they experience this part of Canberra. “At a local level, we find we need to use the car less,” Clare says. “Civic is a 15 to 20-minute walk away, and there’s a nearby bus stop. We find we are more likely to walk to the shops or to one of the many local cafes for a coffee with friends than when we were living in South Canberra. There are more cafe and dining options within a very short distance.” The couple also value having Canberra’s national cultural institutions within walking distance, while the security and low-maintenance nature of the apartment gives them greater freedom to travel regularly without worrying about their home. “We have a smaller footprint without
compromising style and space,” Stephen says. “And we have access to a more attractive environment within easy walking distance.” While it’s one of Canberra’s newest neighbourhoods, Veraar says The Eastbourne feels surprisingly settled. “Because it incorporates new pedestrian pathways to connect directly to the lake and with the added vibrancy of East Traders Hall, it really feels like an established residential neighbourhood here.” he says.

hat features does the perfect Canberra home actually need? It has frosty winter mornings, hot summer afternoons and everything in between to contend with, not to mention Canberrans who want to work, entertain and live under one roof. However, local agents say some of the features that matter most aren’t necessarily the ones that make the biggest impression in listing photos. For Hive Property Director Josh Morrissey, it starts with something much more fundamental: aspect. “It’s a small detail, but it has a huge impact on the home’s liveability, thermal performance and the optimisation of its design,” he says. “Given that Canberra is cold for four months of the year, orientation is a critical element in enhancing ... comfort and value.” Stone Real Estate Gungahlin principal Jess Smith agrees, pointing to northfacing living areas, double glazing and effective window coverings as features that can make a noticeable difference throughout Canberra’s distinct seasons. Many of the city’s best-designed homes embrace these principles through passive solar design, carefully positioned glazing and outdoor spaces that make the most of winter sun while providing shade during the warmer months.

unwind throughout the year.
“A usable al fresco area should be covered, protected from the wind and include good lighting.” Jess Smith Of course, buyers still appreciate a little wow factor. Smith says homes that blur the line between indoors and out consistently create an immediate reaction, particularly when large sliding doors extend the kitchen and living areas to a covered al fresco area. This is the case at one of Smith’s current on-market properties, 30 Grenfell Avenue, Taylor, which boasts an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living. Due to our weather, however, making that outdoor space usable beyond a perfect spring afternoon requires a little more thought. “A usable al fresco area should be covered, protected from the wind and include good lighting, heating or ceiling fans,” Smith says. Grenfell Avenue puts that advice into practice, with a sheltered outdoor entertaining zone designed to be enjoyed across the seasons, whether it’s a summer barbecue with friends or a cosy winter gathering close to the kitchen.
On the market: 30 Grenfell Avenue, Taylor, has an easy transition between indoor and out, with an al fresco area suited to all seasons.
Working from home has added another consideration, although Morrissey says that doesn’t necessarily mean every Canberra home needs a dedicated office. “Advances in technology mean most people are happy to create a simple, functional study space rather than requiring a dedicated home office,” he says. Instead, Morrissey sees value in usable internal space that can be adapted into “rumpus rooms, games rooms, gyms, theatres or other flexible spaces”. Flexible layouts remain highly sought after, with buyers gravitating towards homes that offer multiple spaces in which to work, study or retreat, along with living areas that can evolve as family needs change. Then there are the decidedly less glamorous essentials. Smith nominates good storage as one of those details that “makes an enormous difference to everyday living”, pointing to linen cupboards, walk-in pantries, builtin wardrobes and garage storage as particularly useful. Because if there’s one thing a Canberra home definitely needs, it’s somewhere to stash all those big coats and bulky woollen blankets.

Mario Sanfrancesco Blackshaw Manuka
Where family life takes flight
T
his Yarralumla home is ready to take the whole family under its wing. Or, more accurately, wings. Designed by architect Paul Tilse, the home is cleverly divided into a series of zones, giving everyone their own corner while beautiful spaces connect it all. There’s the main bedroom wing, where an oversized skylight illuminates the boutique-style walk-in robe, while the designer en suite includes a free-standing tub. Nearby, two more bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe, flank the main bathroom.
Another wing can be closed off for extended family and has its own lounge and en suite bathroom. Yet another, sitting privately at the front of the home, is essentially a second main-bedroom suite, with a walk-in robe and en suite. The spectacular open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is where everyone comes back together. A soaring timberlined ceiling adds warmth overhead, polished concrete runs underfoot, and highlight windows draw in natural light. The kitchen is designed for a crowd, with extensive timber joinery,
marble surfaces and a large island combining stone and timber. At the other end, bespoke shelving and a gas fireplace make the living area feel equally considered. Five living areas include a rumpus room and downstairs media room, while outside, a covered terrace overlooks the north-facing lawn, with plans and plumbing in place for a future pool. Downstairs, there’s a four-car garage and two large storage rooms, plus a 20 kilowatt-hour solar system and a 48 kilowatt-hour battery.

GARDENING Words by Tammy Huynh
4. Prepare the soil Dig a few small holes around the garden to see what you’re working with. You may find loose, sandy soil, sticky clay or compacted fill mixed with rubble and building debris – especially around a newly built home. Remove any debris and loosen compacted ground with a garden fork. If little usable topsoil remains, bring in quality screened topsoil or garden soil from a reputable landscape supplier. Be wary of “free” topsoil from unknown sources – it may arrive with weeds, contaminants or other unwanted extras. Adding organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, helps sandy soil retain moisture and improves the structure of heavy clay. A simple pH test will also reveal whether the soil suits the plants you hope to grow. If it needs adjusting, garden lime will raise the pH, while garden sulphur will lower it, but make changes gradually and follow the product directions.
Five must-dos for your garden
5. Sort out watering
TRUDY PAGDEN
Before you fill your garden with plants, get the foundations right with these steps that could save you time and money.
W
hen you move into a home with a blank backyard or an established garden that doesn’t work for you, a trip to the nursery can seem like the obvious choice. But plants should be one of the final pieces, not the first. Sorting out the garden’s conditions, soil and framework now can prevent poor plant choices, wasted money and harder work later.
Tammy Huynh is a horticulturist, author and presenter on Gardening Australia, and the owner of Leaf an Impression.
3. Put the framework in place
Trusted formula: Deciding what plants to add should be one of the last steps.
2. Get weeds under control Clear out weeds so they’re not competing with new plants for nutrients and space. Take extra care with persistent weeds such as couch grass, oxalis and onion weed, ensuring you remove their underground stems, roots or bulbs. Any pieces left behind can reshoot, so you
Check the drainage before installing paths, retaining walls or raised beds. Dig a hole about 30 centimetres wide and deep and fill it with water. If water remains after 24 hours, the soil drains poorly. If it drains away, fill the hole again and check the level after an hour. A drop of less than 2.5 centimetres indicates slow drainage. Raised beds can lift plant roots above wet ground, while more serious waterlogging may require changes to the levels or the installation of drainage. Once any drainage issues are resolved, complete the paths, steps, edging, retaining walls and screens. Make the beds narrow enough to reach from the paths, leaving room to move. Good access may not be the most exciting part of landscaping, but you’ll appreciate it every time you garden.
ROWENA NAYLOR
Begin with the garden’s aspect – the direction it faces – and note where sun and shade fall throughout the day. Look for areas exposed to strong winds, reflected heat or frost, as well as spots that stay wet after rain. Once you understand how conditions vary, you can follow the “right plant, right place” principle and choose plants suited to each spot. Check labels for light, water and soil needs, and consider each plant’s mature height and width – not just how it looks in its nursery pot.
may need to hand-remove or spot-spray regrowth with a suitable herbicide.
GETTY
1. Understand your conditions
Think about how you’ll water the garden and how much time you’re willing to spend doing it. A small space may be easily managed with a watering can or hose fitted with a watering wand, while larger areas may be easier to maintain with drip irrigation. Group plants with similar water needs so you’re not trying to keep thirsty and drought-tolerant varieties happy in the same space.
Shower with love: Plants with similar water needs should be grouped together for convenience and longevity.

COMMERCIAL Words by Ray Sparvell
An iconic address with income to match
F
ew buildings in Canberra wear their history as confidently as the Sydney Building. Its colonnades, arches and textured facade anchor the top end of Northbourne Avenue and deliver a sense of place that newer developments simply can’t replicate. Today, that heritage charm is paired with renewed energy thanks to Verity Lane, a buzzing strip of bars and eateries that has breathed new life into the precinct. This is the CBD at its most characterful, particularly when you add proximity to retail, bus and light rail services, and thousands of daily commuters, shoppers and tourists. All of that adds to the appeal of this 380-square-metre commercial property, leased to Hey Show Karaoke until 2030 with a further five-year option. It has two floors and features a highquality fitout that includes 12 themed

rooms, kitchen facilities and restrooms. Annual net income sits at about $147,000 plus GST, with annual rent increases of three per cent. Steven Shang of Ray White Commercial says the opportunity is likely to appeal strongly to investors.
“It’s a rare opportunity in a unique setting,” he says. “But the major appeal comes through a long-term lease that provides immediate returns.” Shang says a further bonus is that, with a tenant already in place, the property is exempt from stamp duty.
