Tucked quietly within Blandfordia 5 widely regarded as the most coveted pocket of Griffith and one of Canberra's most exclusive residential enclaves. 6A Stokes Street is a refined architectural residence that balances privacy, light and timeless design just 150 metres from Manuka, and within 2km of Parliament and five of Canberra's best schools
Originally designed by renowned Canberra modernist Enrico Taglietti, the home embodies his enduring principles: strong geometry, a deep relationship with landscape, and spaces shaped by light rather than excess. Thoughtful contemporary updates now elevate the home for modern living while remaining faithful to its architectural lineage.
From the moment you arrive, tranquillity prevails. Mature, established gardens wrap the home in privacy, complemented by serene ponds and a peaceful outdoor entertaining zone, designed for year-round enjoyment. An internal courtyard with a dwarf maple draws natural light deep into the home, creating a constant dialogue between indoors and out.
Inside, soaring ceilings and generous glazing deliver an uplifting sense of volume and calm. Multiple living zones and flexible work-from-home spaces-including a large mezzanine study accommodating four desks, additional studies/rumpus options and extensive attic storage-make the home as practical as it is beautiful. A dedicated studio with custom 384-bottle wine storage offers a refined retreat for creatives or collectors alike.
Accommodation is generous and well considered with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The master suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite, while a separate guest bedroom with its own ensuite provides privacy for visitors.
Sustainability has been seamlessly integrated through a solar-passive design, grey-water system, and a premium energy suite including an 8.6kW SunPower solar array with Enphase micro-inverters (25-year warranty) and a 16kWh Sigenergy battery with full-home backup. Hydronic heating with DeLonghi radiators ensures winter comfort, complemented by two fireplaces; one wood-burning and one Rinnai gas-for warmth and ambience.
With garaging, additional off-street parking, garden shed storage and future-ready architectural plans available to purchasers, this is a residence of rare depth and provenance-an oasis of calm in one of Canberra's most tightly held addresses.
