The sidaway.home is the epitome of an ‘all-in’ home. It’s a space where thoughtful renovations have amplified the liveability, functionality, and grandeur of an impressive family residence. Extended and renovated by Future Building, award winners for innovative design, the home cleverly separates living and sleeping zones across its single-level floorplan. The result is a space lovingly balanced between hints of original architecture and modern refinement.

Like many classic Canberra battleaxe homes, this residence is cleverly designed to incorporate the green space at the rear, turning away from the street and embracing a private, leafy outlook. It’s all about peace, privacy, and letting the light in. Living areas are perfectly positioned to soak up the sun and offer uninterrupted views of established trees, open lawns, and bushland. This considered approach to site planning is part of what makes these homes so effortlessly liveable today.

Secluded at the end of its unassuming driveway, secure electric gates enclose a spacious driveway that’s perfect for scooters, safe play, boat storage or a parked caravan. From the soft slope of the entry ramp to the elegant, no-reveal thresholds, it’s clear that ease of living was central to the redesign. Accessibility blends seamlessly with the connection to the extensively landscaped 1,273m² block. Every finish has been carefully selected to support the way families grow and change, without ever compromising on style or comfort.

At the heart of the home, the central kitchen, dining, and living space is grounded in a sophisticated palette. Extensive custom joinery, a massive stone island, high-end appliances, feature tiling, and a full butler’s pantry come together in a kitchen that is both beautiful and deeply functional. Entry from the garage flows through the laundry to mudroom space.

Floor-to-ceiling window dressings add softness to the entire home, while the open plan living areas connect naturally to the alfresco entertaining area and the resort-style pool just beyond.

Frosted glass doors offer just the right level of privacy to the second living area. When open, they invite cross-ventilation and a true sense of connection, ideal when the home is full and friends or family gather. Closed, the space becomes a quiet retreat, perfect for movie nights or hiding the toys. Like everything else in this home, it’s practical and purposeful without compromising on style.

Hidden within vertical joint panelling, the first master suite is cleverly positioned away from the bedroom wing. It creates an ideal space for multigenerational living or a quiet sanctuary for privacy and calm.

Down the hallway, a second master delivers its own kind of luxury with a generous layout and a dual rain shower that feels more like a spa experience than a morning routine. Three additional bedrooms, opulent family bathroom with soaker tub, and seperate pink hued water closet complete the home, each featuring built-in robes and plush wool loop carpet that’s soft, grounding and indulgent.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the home and form outdoor rooms designed for all seasons. Summer days unfold around the pool, complete with a cabana, BBQ and wine fridge on the covered deck. Stepping stones lead around to the lawn, perfect for playful summersaults or evenings by the firepit. The backyard opens directly onto the adjoining reserve and playground, framed by a chainlink fence ready for future hedging.

This isn’t just a renovation. It’s a complete reinvention. Award-winning ACT builder Future Building has crafted something truly rare, a home that is as practical as it is architectural, and as refined as it is inviting.

Accessible, elevated and in a class of its own.
