Selling Agent's Description
What you see:
A home rich in history and character, elevated with luxury finishes throughout; a rare opportunity never to be repeated. Built between 1959-1962, the Maisonettes were part of a pioneering housing initiative showcasing modernist design and urban planning ideals. These homes exemplify Post-War International Style, characterised by clean lines, functional layouts and integration with landscaped settings reflecting the optimism and social ambition of Canberra’s early development as a planned Capital.
What we see:
Among the last surviving examples of Canberra’s first modernist living, beautifully restored for contemporary comfort, everyday convenience and enduring architectural significance.
