“The home borders reserve with its wildflowers and kangaroos and opens dramatically to embrace the trees, endless sky, stunning sunsets. You can step outside and meander bushland trails, heading up Mt Painter to take in views of the whole of Canberra. It feels pretty rare – to be so removed yet so close to the CBD.”
Alex Williams, Architect
The seamlessly renovated and extended three-bedroom (plus study) architectural residence manages to be both detailed and pared back, allowing the stunning bushland surrounds to take centre stage. Yet there is an artisan spirit at work, delivering a refined sensibility that pays homage to the mid-century modern delights of the home.
Upon entering, there is an unexpected sense of depth, precision, and craftsmanship. The material expression echoes the local flora-soft greens, terracotta tones and textured stone. High-end joinery, hand-forged brass hardware and bespoke lighting adds to the layering of the story, effortlessly weaving old and new to create a sense of quiet luxury which carries through into every room.
No. 62 is special for its position and architectural story. Original architect Michael Dysart added a fourth level with unique box windows. This frames the eucalypts and draws your eyes upward, providing an immersive and relaxing experience. The more recent renovation by the owner architect is considered and timeless, with seamless design choices informed by the native surroundings.
The open split-level design offers space for work, rest, and coming together thanks to the two living rooms, light filled study and spacious open plan kitchen and dining, all with expansive views. The renovation doesn’t stop there, with stunning terrazzo bathrooms, a welcoming mudroom lined with timber and an immaculate laundry.
The home emerges from the hilltop and features landscaped native gardens which naturally sit amongst the eucalyptus, looking onto the expansive reserve. This was the original vision of the famed architect, Michael Dysart, with organic forms that champion the 20th-century Sydney regional style, relaxing into 11 acres of bushland. Wybalena Grove is unique for its sense of place and warm community. It is not unusual to stop and chat to neighbours on bushland trails or around the pizza oven, shared vegetable garden, playground, or tennis court. The location, combined with this level of finish and design, is a rare find in Canberra.
