THE FINAL THREE

MASTERPIECE

Woodbury

Note from the editor

There’s a palpable energy in the property market this spring, a season defined by new opportunities. We spotlight this dynamism with an exclusive look at a Braddon terrace development designed for owner-occupiers, aiming to bridge the gap for spacious, high-spec inner-city homes. From the brandnew to the beautifully renewed, we also step inside a gorgeous transformation of a Canberra classic in Griffith, showcasing how thoughtful design and material choice can breathe new life into an established property. Or for those with an eye on investment, we break down why now might be the time to review your strategy to identify opportunities before the market shifts again.

Space, comfort and refinement

When a home presents with manicured tiered front gardens and stone retaining walls against a backdrop of Mount Taylor, you know it’s something special.

The stunning house at 129 Gouger Street, Torrens, sits on an impressive elevated 1316-square-metre block and makes full use of every inch.

Independent Property Group South’s Jonathan Charles says the threebedroom home delivers space, comfort and refined family living, combining “timeless architecture with modern updates and an enviable position.”

The split-level design unfolds past the grand entrance. Raked ceilings and polished timber floors are a highlight in the main living area, which flows seamlessly into a light-filled formal dining area through large double doors.

The rear of the home is exceptional. Surrounded by irrigated gardens, with a salt-chlorinated pool, outdoor kitchen and ample space for al fresco dining, there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.

The October 25 auction has a price guide of $1.75 million-plus.

Settle in for the long term

In a suburb increasingly known for high-density apartment buildings, a new Braddon development is offering something more enduring: the feel of a house, with a clear emphasis on longterm liveability.

Ijong North, designed by architect Dane Kasunic of boutique developerbuilder Kasunic Group, is a collection of nine terraces in a leafy pocket opposite parkland in the light rail corridor. The development champions a vision of refined minimalism, with a powerful exterior of straight-edge forms and textured materials woven into a striking composition. A sophisticated and timeless monochromatic palette unifies the design, creating architecture that is both confident and enduring.

According to managing director and builder Tomislav Kasunic, the residences address a clear gap in the area for spacious, high-spec homes that prioritise comfort, functionality and longevity.

“We’ve intentionally designed Ijong North for people who want to live here, not the investor market,” he says.

This focus on liveability is evident in the terrace designs, which feature three or four bedrooms, expansive courtyards, and options for a dedicated study. The layouts are designed to appeal to a range of lifestyles, from professionals who need flexible space for hobbies or working from home to downsizers who can enjoy a high-quality home that’s closely connected to local amenities. For families, the appeal lies in the lowmaintenance living, ample outdoor space and impressive school catchment.

“To design the terraces, we imagined: if you had a 300-square-metre house in O’Connor, Braddon or Ainslie, what

would you want in the footprint?”

Tomislav says. “We then brought those elements into a smaller footprint.”

Inside is a level of detail not always found in off-the-plan homes. Think built-in wine cabinets, bar joinery, fullheight wardrobes, walk-in pantries and built-in studies – all part of the price.

“We include everything except window furnishings so you can move straight in,” Tomislav says.

The kitchens feature high-end finishes and European appliances, such as Bosch dual ovens, integrated dishwashers, built-in rangehoods, integrated fridges and induction cooktops. The luxurious feel continues with engineered wideplank oak flooring, woollen carpets, stone benchtops and porcelain tiles.

The open-plan living areas extend to external courtyards, with full-length windows, light wells and glass doors allowing in natural light and providing an easy indoor-outdoor flow. There are recessed pelmets for sheers and curtains.

In a market in which off-the-plan purchases can often feel uncertain, this project’s greatest asset is that it’s personal. The Kasunic brothers work together to ensure the design vision is executed flawlessly.

“Sometimes, the details that make projects architecturally sophisticated and well executed are lost in translation or a builder may cut corners to avoid cost implications,” Tomislav says.

“We don’t do that. As the architect, my brother is very particular on those design elements being built and delivered. Dane is there throughout the whole process from start to finish.”

This family dynamic helps to foster its own unique perfectionism in the Kasunic

Group’s projects. “He’s adamant on getting even the smallest details [right], which as a builder, can sometimes grind you,” Tomislav says, laughing.

The interiors of the Ijong North project embrace a Japandi aesthetic, blending Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality. Clean lines and a restrained palette of natural tones create calm, practical spaces, while the joinery is extensive, transforming some of the walls into working, living features.

“These details are something that you put your heart and soul into to make sure you deliver a good product,” Tomislav says. “We do it because we enjoy what we do. We want to give people good homes to live in.”

Each terrace has a secure double garage with internal access – no shared stairwells or common lifts – along with custom-built cabinetry for storage.

Construction of Ijong North is already underway, with completion scheduled for December 2026.

HISTORY & HERITAGE

Words by Emily Power

Period rebuild in a class of its own

This 1950s Canberra classic has been meticulously rebuilt with polished European flair and a rare 8.6-star energy rating.

It is time for “Canberra classic” to take its place in the dictionary of fine architectural styles, with no better example than 1 Durville Crescent, a fourbedroom, period beauty in a tree-lined, old-world precinct of Griffith.

The elevated home offers a masterclass in contemporary renewal, following a meticulous three-year rebuild completed about five years ago.

The original, 1955 ruby-brick facade was retained and restored, and everything beyond is new, carrying a polished European flair.

So flawless is the integration of then and now, some prospective buyers believe the walls have been standing for several decades.

“It’s a Canberra classic, brought up to date for a 2025 lifestyle,” says agent Mario Sanfrancesco of Blackshaw Manuka. “The house is effectively a new build in a heritage precinct.

“You can tell it’s such a brilliant job, because I’ve had the odd buyer walk through and say, ‘It was quite a large home in its day,’ but little do they know.”

The house is understood to be the only heritage home in Australia with an 8.6-star energy rating. The eco-friendly efficiencies have been added with an understated hand, so the historic character shines.

These include triple-glazed, imported meranti hardwood windows and doors, ensuring the interior temperature is

comfortable and consistent no matter the weather outside.

Full-height windows in the meals and family area frame the solar-heated plunge pool in the entertainer’s terrace. The exterior is crafted from 12,000 Canberra red bricks – an iconic component of the capital city’s historic architecture. They were produced for 60 years by Yarralumla Brickworks, which ceased operation in 1976, and were used to build the Old Parliament House, the National Gallery of Australia and the Royal Australian Mint, among others. The owners looked far and wide for first-rate fixtures and fittings. They selected 100-year-old oak herringbone flooring from England, imported brass bathroom lighting by US designer Kelly Wearstler, handmade Moroccan tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms and Concordia marble for the main bathroom.

“You don’t see this level of finish unless budget is not an issue and you’re doing it for yourself. It has so many beautiful features.” Mario Sanfrancesco

There’s also breccia nera marble for the main bedroom’s en suite, and a bespoke jewellery armoire in the opulent dressing room by US lifestyle brand Aerin.

“You don’t see this level of finish unless budget is not an issue and you’re doing it for yourself,” Sanfrancesco says.

“It has so many beautiful features, but one that stands out to me is the en suite – the combination of the stone and the finishes, you’d think you’re in a luxury hotel.”

Vintage English charm is a signature throughout the home, from the deep farmhouse sinks in the butler’s pantry and laundry, to the claw-foot bath in the central bathroom and the barn doors on the four-car garage.

The outdoor areas have been just as carefully calibrated as the interiors. The chic, country-style kitchen flows onto the outdoor dining area, which is fitted with a pizza oven and a barbecue.

Sanfrancesco says buyers put a high value on well-resolved outdoor spaces.

“There is a lifestyle element that the home offers, so you can have your family or friends around in the living area and, when the weather’s lovely, that spills out to the outdoors,” he says. “It’s been a drawcard for prospective buyers.”

Car collectors will relish the clever use of space in the garage. Double electric auto-stackers that hold four cars beneath the cathedral roof were added at a cost of $12,000 each.

The property is a short walk from the Manuka village, in a pocket that is so highly sought after that Sanfrancesco has seen buyers move only a few streets to be closer to some of Canberra’s best cafes and restaurants.

“Because the house is quite new, you can buy with confidence, knowing that for the next decade or two, you will have very little to do,” Sanfrancesco says.

Falling rates reshape strategies

As rates slip, investors should review portfolios, rebalance debt and seize opportunities before the market shifts again.

With three cuts in the official interest rate so far this year and more expected, it’s the perfect time for investors to conduct a major review of their finances, tax liabilities and investment portfolios, and to revise buying strategies.

For some, the prospect of a further lowering of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cash rate down from 3.6 per cent means it’s the perfect time to consider buying more residential property, especially as prices have already begun rising strongly. For some, it could mean more stocks and shares. For others, it could be the recipe to sit tight and clear some debt.

“There’s no one size fits all,” says buyers’ agent and propertybuyer.com.au chief executive Rich Harvey. “If you’re 25 or 35 or 55, you’ll want a different strategy for your age, income and overall goals.

“Whatever your aims, you need to optimise your structures ... and get the right team around you.” Rich Harvey

If you’re looking at retirement, some people are happy to retire on $80,000 a year; others want $350,000.

“I am seeing a lot of people scared to embrace debt, though, and when the bank offers them $1.2 million, they say they’ll buy for $600,000 instead. But the bank has already been conservative in assessing their borrowing capacity, so they should spend that $1.2 million on the best possible property they can buy.”

The new lower interest rate cycle has already seen a resurgence of property investor activity, and conventional wisdom has it that it’s usually the early movers who fare best. So, now is the time, Harvey says, to rebalance portfolios and strike out afresh.

“If you’re after cash flow, you might like high-yielding properties like multidwellings,” he says. “But whatever your aims, you need to optimise

your structures, whether borrowing personally or through a trust or SMSF, and get the right team around you of a broker, buyer’s agent and tax advisor to build your portfolio.”

Falling rates mean cheaper funds and a higher borrowing capacity, which translates generally into higher demand and rising property prices, says Ben Nash, founder of Pivot Wealth and author of Virgin Millionaire.

“We’ll also see property shortages persisting for quite a long time, and historically that’s supportive of increases in property values and cash flows,” he says. “So, try to buy at the front end rather than the back end.

“We’re seeing quite a lot of volatility in the share market and probably the worst area for investing when rates are falling are cash-type products, like high-interest savings accounts, long-term deposits and

fixed-interest securities, unless you’re an older investor. But know that the RBA is watching the data closely and not what the government or investors want.”

Falling rates can also make it a good time to catch up, maximise super contributions and clear debt, believes Helen Baker, a financial planner and founder of On Your Own Two Feet.

The share market has also been going well, she argues, but you also have to remember that what goes down can come back up.

“There are a lot of wars and issues around the world and if interest rates suddenly go up and people start losing jobs and businesses falter, then debt can become a problem,” she says.

We’re partnering with Brodburger to bring you a year’s worth of burgers, valued at $2000 and redeemable within 12 months of issue.

Texture, warmth and soul

Every detail in this Taylor house seems designed to stop you in your tracks. From the facade – a striking blend of reclaimed brick and Colorbond cladding, with an oversized cedar pivot door – to the unexpected touches of terrazzo, concrete and brass inside, this 2021-built home is an architectural statement with a sustainable soul. The split-level design is anchored by two staircases constructed from reclaimed brick that lend both texture and warmth. At the front, 3.7-metre ceilings crown the living room and a

bedroom, where vast windows pull in light and views of the grassland opposite.

The main living zone is all about connection: sliding glass dissolves the divide between inside and out, leading to a terrace with an impressive floating fireplace.

At the centre, the kitchen shines with waterfall stone benchtops, brass tapware and practical storage.

What look like twin pantry doors open to a butler’s pantry (with two dishwashers), effectively doubling the size of the kitchen.

Both bathrooms take on a sculptural quality with terrazzo floors, concrete basins (one in a glorious shade of blush pink), and brushed brass accents.

The four bedrooms are arranged for family life, with the main offering a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite, while the front bedroom doubles as a workfrom-home hub thanks to a custom desk built from reclaimed brick.

Sustainability is integral to the home, with a 12.24-kilowatt solar system supported by a Tesla Powerwall 2, and zoned climate control via Google Nest.

“Designed for those who appreciate bespoke architecture, this home blends quality craftsmanship and tailored interiors, delivering a residence that is functional, stylish and exceptional in every detail.”

DESIGN

Words by Paul Best • Photos by Zella Casey Brown

There’s something cinematic about Babylon – and not just because the house shares its name with a film about the Golden Age of Hollywood.

On the northern tip of Sydney’s Bilgola Plateau, it sits on a ridge between Pittwater and Avalon Beach.

Among giant boulders and eucalypts, fortress-like sandstone walls tower at one end and form an eccentric rotunda with a performance stage at the other.

Up this high, the sunrises and panoramic water views are to die for.

Designed by architect Edwin Kingsberry in the early 1950s – and given a new lease of life by Casey Brown Architecture – the house has an undeniable Gothic majesty, earning it the nickname The Castle.

“The house has a magic difficult to find even in the best architect-designed houses,” says interior designer Fiona Spence, who bought the property with her husband, one-time concert production manager Morris Lyda, in 2015.

Stone-walled wonder

This 1950s architectural masterpiece, called Babylon, has been given an award-winning renovation that honours the eccentric design of the original.

Some of that mystique stems from the house’s backstory, which could have also been lifted from a Hollywood script.

Kingsberry, who owned the land, sold it to a couple on the proviso he could build the house he wanted – before taking up (and off) with the wife.

Its reputation grew during the hippiefuelled ’60s and ’70s as a wild bohemian party house run by the owners’ son, a member of the Bilgola Bop Band.

One of those party-goers was Spence herself, who’d long eyed the property.

“I was stunned by the journey up the [96] stone stairs from the car park through the arched passageway,” she recalls. “It was like entering a castle.”

When the opportunity arose to buy it, the couple pounced. It had been let go and in need of love.

“That was the beauty of getting it … in its raw form,” says Spence, who rechristened the property Babylon, after the Tower of Babel.

Kitchen: The new kitchen is five times bigger than the previous one.

Entrance: The stairs were restored with wrought-iron handrails.

“No one had messed with it. We just needed to coax it into the 21st century.”

The couple approached Rob Brown of Casey Brown Architecture. He had to work with a mix of styles – modern and the Sydney School (known in architectural circles as Nuts and Berries) – as well as the quirks of the operaloving Kingsberry, who dubbed the house Gotterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods) after Wagner’s The Ring.

He also collaborated with Spence and Lyda, who were keen to lend the design process their own expertise.

“The owners, drawn to the original character, wanted something in that character, not a copy but in the spirit of the original,” Brown says. “They wanted to marry the aesthetic and design language of old and new.”

Initially, a cable car was installed for easier access from a new solar-powered carport. The stairs were restored, with handcrafted wrought-iron handrails and recycled timber steps added.

The project’s early stages also focused on revamping the existing threestorey apartment (with a trapdoor to a basement bathroom) and an oval-shaped “grand room”, with an unusual gravitydefying, bowstring truss ceiling.

This included repointing sandstone walls, restoring a fireplace and replacing the roof that spanned both wings and the patio in between.

In keeping with Babylon’s eccentric nature, a dramatic four-metre pivoting wall was added to the east wing as well as a guillotine-style steel shutter between the bar and terrace.

However, it’s the major additions – a new southern wing and a kitchen (five times bigger than the previous one) – that play most to the whimsical, offbeat nature of the original architecture.

The new wing’s bedroom, en suite, wardrobe, study and powder room were built around the trees and boulders, so “live” rock reaches into the rooms.

“When we removed the soil, we exposed this fantastic rock, which we decided to include,” Brown says of the idiosyncratic design. “It was a chance to enhance and respect the place, to integrate it with nature.”

Equally bonkers are the terrazzo floors inset with recycled marble and granite chunks in the new wing and kitchen.

This is where Spence stepped up. She drew inspiration from Canberra’s Monster Kitchen and Bar and the house’s original bathroom, arranging stone pieces as if she were creating an abstract artwork, after which the terrazzo was poured.

Spence worked with a fiery Patagonian quartz, as well as black, white and redcoloured stone.

“Like art, it took time to place and put together,” she says.

The eye-catching floors also worked with the broader material palette, like the black-painted ceilings and Tasmanian blackwood walls that Spence “pickled” with a vinegar-and-steel-wool-based treatment she created.

It should be no surprise that Babylon has been eyed by the design community. It won the John Verge Award for Interior Architecture and an alterations and additions award at the recent Australian Institute of Architects NSW Architecture Awards. It has also been shortlisted for this year’s Houses Awards for alteration and addition under 200 square metres.

“It’s a place where life is lived to the fullest,” Brown says.

Investors clean up in every single aisle

There’s one thing better than a local shopping area, and that’s having one with an anchor tenant like an IGA supermarket.

It serves as the daily hub for residents, capturing a constant stream of customers for everything from lastminute dinner solutions to weekly grocery needs.

That continual consumer demand is music to the ears of any investor, and that’s why the sale of the IGA supermarket building in Bruce is likely to be hotly contested.

Located at 1/27 Thynne Street, the 201-square-metre property anchors the newly developed Ives mixeduse precinct, serving high-demand demographics like university students and healthcare and government workers.

This securely leased IGA generates net income of about $346,000 a year, with fixed annual 4 per cent rent increases.

Nic Purdue of CBRE Canberra says the local supermarket sector is one of the strongest asset classes around.

“Typically, we see them site in highdemand locations, and operators usually take long-term positions with multiple options,” he says. “Lease terms often see

them take on all outgoings, which maximises investor returns.

“It’s a blue-chip asset in a tightly held location, enhanced by proximity to the University of Canberra, Canberra Stadium and the future Northside Hospital,” Purdue says.
