The renaissance of mid-century modern architecture continues with this original 1970s beauty designed by Sydney architect and National Gallery of Australia benefactor John Playoust.
A skillion-roofed double carport, timber-lined cathedral ceilings, sunken living areas and oversized penny bathroom tiles provide all the mid-century modern gravitas while idiosyncratic touches such as the large copper-clad hood vent in the kitchen, and the secret bar behind louvred doors add to the home's individual statement.
The kitchen and adjacent family room make the most of their north-facing orientation, with views over the large, flat rear garden, but the sunken living and dining rooms also provide access to the garden patio to the side of the home.
There are four good sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The master also has a neat shower and toilet ensuite while the main bathroom offers a separate bathtub plus shower.
Set in a quiet street with easy access to Belconnen town centre, markets, the University of Canberra, Radford College, Calvary Hospital, local schools, shops, playing fields and the Pinnacle Nature Reserve, this is a rare opportunity to own a character home in a convenient locale.
