Home to renowned and award winning architect Cynthia Breheny, who has helped shape Canberra's building landscape for over 40 years, 3 Bungey Street is a fine example how a modest ex-govie can evolve into a charming home which capitalises on elevated vistas and north-facing sun. Nestled on a generous 927sqm block opposite Elliott Place's playground this is a residence which has grown over time to the practical and beautiful family residence we see today. While it is perfect for families seeking both space and comfort, it's also a home which affords space for those seeking a studio space to paint or create with delightful inspiration out every window. Indeed this is a home designed to blend into its natural surroundings - a peaceful haven in which to relax and unwind.
A mix of exotic and native gardens envelops a winding path which leads you to the front terrace, the perfect spot to breakfast with birds. Continue indoors and be drawn to the capacious and light-filled upper living room designed specifically to take advantage of the tree top views, and it's here that you will also find the cast iron fireplace recessed into a curved feature brick wall for added thermal mass. The master suite is segregated downstairs and is distinguished by floor to ceiling windows which invite the gardens in, a wonderful way to start each day, while the dedicated sauna room is just the remedy to unwind at the day's end. All remaining bedrooms (three or four or five) retain garden vistas while another living space, provides that all important versatility for a growing family.
