This remarkable Turner residence, originally designed by Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medallist Alexander Tzannes and comprehensively renovated by MMM Interiors in 2019–2020, delivers a rare fusion of architectural pedigree, contemporary refinement, and everyday liveability. Anchored by a striking two-storey mural inspired by Walter Burley Griffin's 1910 vision for Canberra, the tri-level design masterfully balances light, space, and function throughout.
Two generous living zones provide flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living, while the chef's kitchen-appointed with premium appliances, a five-burner gas cooktop, dual ovens, and abundant storage-flows seamlessly to the rear garden, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.
Accommodation is equally versatile, comprising four bedrooms plus a rumpus room (easily reinstated as a fifth bedroom), all with built-in storage, alongside a fully self-contained studio with private access and ensuite-ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or additional income. Outdoors, a heated saltwater pool, expansive enclosed courtyard, and lush irrigated gardens with a striking green wall create a private, tranquil retreat.
Enhanced by underfloor heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, and extensive storage throughout, this is a home of enduring quality and comfort, positioned in one of Turner's most tightly held, leafy streets-moments from the ANU, Civic, and an array of local cafés and amenities.
