Architectural gem by Laurie Virr uncovered in Farrer

It’s not every day that properties of architectural significance hit the market.

But the home at 9 Steinwedel Street – a masterpiece by Canberra-based architect Laurie Virr – is just that.

The home exudes Virr’s love for organic architecture, from stunning large glass windows that overlook Canberra’s iconic Black Mountain Tower to the unique wood-panelled ceilings lining the entire structure.

Virr executed the fluid integration between the indoor and out, situating the home to get the best out of the large, sloping block and surrounding flora and fauna.

The street view is relatively unassuming, but those who enter can see that this suburban home is anything but that.

The distinctive design offers living and entertaining on one side of the home, while the bedrooms – including a spacious main-bedroom suite – sit in their own wing.

Agent Steve Thomas of Edge Real Estate says the home is a real masterpiece.

“This home is arguably one of Laurie Virr’s finest works,” he says. “You will never tire of the exquisite architecture, views or central location.”

The entertaining quarter features an open-plan living and dining space with its own fireplace for the cooler months and direct access to the main terrace for Canberra’s long summer days.

With two additional terraces and an expansive pool and spa area, the home’s design ensures perfect al fresco spots to enjoy, with unmatched views over the mountains that surround the nation’s capital.

This home was meticulously planned and designed for enjoyment and practicality, and its new occupants will truly own a piece of history.
