The home seems to float within the trees, perfectly angled on the elevated block with a long veranda so you can sit and gaze across the park, taking in the mountains and Lake Burley Griffin that encircle the CBD. There is a total vibe – think LA hills, film noir…where the architecture, lifestyle and the city become central characters. Delivering four bedrooms and oh so cool split level living, this modernist gem is perfectly poised and calling out for someone to imagine its heyday. After chosen tweaks you can move straight in, set up the stereo, unpack the vinyl and take your whiskey straight as you listen to the perfect jazz track, eyeing the city lights, the cascading sunset.

Ideally placed on one of Campbell’s most coveted loop streets, this 1090m² parcel of land and vintage flat-roofed home is a rare prize. Enclosed by wrap around gardens dotted with shady trees, flourishing roses, the home enjoys a wide frontage with twin driveways and lots of sheltered off-street parking. And please, can somebody revive the kidney shaped swimming pool that is oh so perfectly arranged on the upper garden terrace beneath the north-eastern sunlight.

A wall of timber framed windows frames the epic views and there is that wonderful combo of openness and privacy. The front living room generous and soulful with original timber panelling and glass pendant lighting. Open timber shelving frames the elevated dining space and floor-up windows welcome light and landscape within. The original kitchen retains its timber cabinets, set with silver handles and delivers updated granite worktops and an oven from Westinghouse. A second living or meals area opens straight onto the suspended deck so you can hang, cocktail in hand, beneath the shady tree canopies.

A gallery style hallway in gelato pink breezes past two bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate toilet. Then you step up to a north-east facing rumpus or home office with two additional bedrooms on each side, including the master. The rumpus opens directly onto the garden and feels glamourous with its golden influx of light and warm timber detailing.

The master is world unto its own, think fabulous flocked green wallpaper and doors that open to the matching green of the garden on both sides. There is a walk-thru-robe with inset dressing table and an ensuite bathroom. We love the ribbon windows that frame the bed, delivering exclamation points of light.

You can walk to Campbell shops and the dynamic Campbell 5 from here, explore Mt Pleasant Nature Reserve and enjoy the landscaped pathways that hug the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. It is an easy stroll to various significant parklands and the monuments that line Anzac Parade. The home is just moments from the dynamic Braddon scene and the ever-evolving CBD. The location perfectly in-tune with the architecture, serving up the whole package – cool inner-city pad, well connected with endless celebrated bars, restaurants and cafés at our doorstep.
