Artfully concealed, intimate yet open, awash in glorious light. This special home is the work of architect Wal Kostyrko. Each detail is meticulously crafted, resulting in an elegant and cohesive design that merges form with function. Pure lines, travertine, marble, wood and high-end craftsmanship are hallmarks. The home is perfectly balanced across two levels and effortlessly delivers flexible family living with a glorious natural immersion.
Despite its wonderful location, on the very edge of the city, a few steps from Glebe Park and moments from the Braddon Precinct, there is a decided hush. The home kept secret, at the end of a battleaxe block, enclosed by high garden walls, shaded by stunning landscaped gardens. A covered walkway hints at what is to come, as Blackwood joinery and laser cut screens build intrigue and mood.
Green marble, stainless steel, rich timber, and terracotta combine in one fluid language. A touch of design wizardry nods to the past while celebrating a timeless contemporary elegance. Clerestory windows, walls of glass and raked ceilings create a cathedral of natural light. And there is a feast of creativity, from the bespoke plant stands, bedheads and matching picture frames to the custom rattan furniture.
The social spaces feel epic and celebratory, spilling to the north and the alfresco terrace, bordered by colonnades that deliver a formal symmetry while remaining open to green walls and big skies. Garden paths traverse the edges of the home so you can journey beneath the trees, delighting in the dappled shade and the beautiful plantings.
Faux walls delineate the kitchen and include an inset bar and wine fridge – all glass shelving and seamless storage. The kitchen itself is warmed by laminated Blackwood timber worktops, softened by garden views and a clever indoor herb garden with self-drainage. There is a breakfast bar for relaxed gathering, the perfect merge to alfresco dining and a commercial rangehood, so you can utilise the Miele Combiset and grill indoors.
The master suite incorporates a study nook, fantastic storage and an ensuite bathroom that echoes a Roman bath house with its use of decorative stone and timber columns. There is a second bedroom downstairs with a private ensuite or guest powder room and a laundry room that opens to the garden.
Upstairs houses the third bedroom, a flexible apartment-like space, designed for sleeping, lounging and cooking. There is an ensuite bathroom, a kitchenette and enough room for comfy couches arranged beneath the window. Think guest accommodation or escape for an older child, oh so private with dreamy treetop views.
Reid is synonymous with village life steeped in the qualities of another era -shared pathways and recreational areas, verdant gardens, community and cohesion. Known for its lush garden feel and ample green spaces, Reid is a coveted, heritage-listed, enclave, a short walking distance to the CBD, Braddon and Campbell precincts. Handy to schools, colleges, the ANU and CIT, the home is also close to transport, including the new metro city station, connecting you to all of Canberra.
