Before and after: 10 renovated homes for sale in Canberra

If the last year taught us anything, it’s that our homes have become our place of work, our playground and our own little sanctuaries, with many home-owners renovating their properties to accommodate the changing household dynamics brought on by the pandemic.

Data from the ABS showed the value of loans for alterations and additions was up 66.7 per cent in the three months to April 2021, compared with this period a year ago.

“Households have diverted funds that would have typically been spent on overseas travel into buying a new home or improving their existing one,” said Housing Industry Association economist Angela Lillicrap.

Whether you’re looking for a revamped gem or inspiration for your own project, we’ve rounded up the top 10 homes that are on the market having gone through a stylish renovation in the capital.
