Nestled at the foot of Mount Taylor, a hidden wonder of Canberra Modernism is on the market for the very first time. Built by the same family who are offering it for sale this is a home with well-loved modernist characteristics that are uniquely composed to suit the needs of family life today. An enchanting front garden flows to a residence with a distinctively horizontal modernist roof line.

You will discover every desirable midcentury feature: high ceilings, timber beams, built in joinery, feature brick fireplace, timber flooring and large scale north facing glazing. The McCay house fulfils the essential needs of modern living with four large bedrooms, segregated master with ensuite and walk in robe, two living areas, central kitchen, secure established rear gardens and a double lock up garage.

Calm, clean lines hint at flow and flexibility of life in this home. In keeping with modernist traditions spaces compress and expand, cleverly allowing for segregation of the master bedroom and giving you the option of connecting or separating multiple living areas. Floor to ceiling glazing provides glimpses into the established garden, bursting with character in all seasons, and filling the house with sunlight.

The home’s private outdoor spaces are similarly flexible with a central courtyard flanked by an original box gum standing from Pearce’s first settlement. A cascade of plants in a rockery leads to the rear garden with productive vegetable beds. This space offers a private retreat and possibilities.

McCay house offers a direct connection to some of the most beautiful natural spaces in Canberra. This a modernist sanctuary on a low-traffic street (a cul-de-sac), amongst homes with established gardens and amazing proximity to Mount Taylor and Woden Valley.
