8 Flanagan Street, Garran

There are homes that stand apart, and then there are those that are truly irreplaceable. Privately positioned against the reserve in one of Garran's most desirable locations, 8 Flanagan Street is a distinctive residence that combines architectural character, natural materials and a wonderful connection to its surroundings. Designed as a private residence by the people behind Preferred Builders, the home reflects a considered architectural vision, with an emphasis on space, light and the relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, the design responds to its setting, capturing views towards the Brindabella Ranges and making the most of Canberra's spectacular western sunsets. Its individual character, generous proportions and established landscaping create a home with a strong sense of place. Natural stone, grey ironbark timber flooring, polished concrete and extensive glazing give the interiors a distinctive combination of warmth and texture. Spacious living and dining areas centre around an open fireplace, while expansive Vitrocsa glazing opens the interiors to outdoor entertaining areas and the adjoining swimming pool. A striking four metre cantilevered roof creates a sheltered terrace and frames the outlook, while extended eaves and considered rooflines reinforce the home's distinctive architectural style. The flexible floorplan offers accommodation across multiple levels, with four bedrooms on the upper levels, including a private master retreat filled with natural light. A separate office features a Huon pine desktop and bespoke joinery, while an additional fifth bedroom or rumpus room provides versatility for family living, guests or recreation. Extensive garaging, integrated storage and a range of heating, cooling features add to the home's practical appeal. With its individual architecture, generous entertaining spaces and private reserve side setting, the home presents an opportunity to enjoy a distinctive Garran residence with outstanding lifestyle appeal.
