In a 'league of its own': Grand residence in Hughes hits the market

It’s rare to encounter a home that captures not only your attention but your imagination. From the moment you enter 15 Goble Street, you get the impression of being transported to another destination entirely.

You might think that the soaring 3.7-metre-high ceiling or floating staircase would seize your focus, but they’re momentarily abandoned in favour of the direct eye line to the turquoise pool in the expansive al fresco area.

Immediately, your mind wanders to idyllic afternoons lazing by the water or hosting get-togethers around the outdoor entertaining area. A closer look through the home’s expansive interior, including the main suite with walk-in wardrobe and free-standing bath, only enhances the fantasy.

Sophie Luton of Luton Properties Manuka has seen her fair share of exceptional homes, but says 15 Goble Street is in a league of its own.

“It really is one of those properties that you don’t see very often at all – it’s one of the best that I’ve ever seen,” Luton says.

It isn’t the first time Luton has worked with the sellers, having previously sold their home in Coombs.

“They’re very good at working together; one is more building-minded and the other is more interior design. They love very good quality and they have exceptional attention to detail which is conveyed strongly in the house,” she says.

Every centimetre of the three-storey property has been meticulously thought out to maximise its northerly aspect, space and living potential. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s also cleverly designed to be as functional as possible.

There are automated features throughout the interior, as well as outdoor heaters and automatic plastic awnings to protect the al fresco area from bitter Canberra winters.

With five bedrooms, the home is large enough to comfortably accommodate a family; but it’s the spa-like sanctuary of the main suite that will surely draw the eye of parents.

“It’s one of, if not the best, master suites I’ve seen. It allows parents to have that retreat where they can go up and have a moment to themselves,” says Luton.

When it comes to preparing family meals, the luxurious kitchen is as well-equipped as it is elegant, with quality appliances and gas burners fitted directly to the Carrara marble benchtops.

Oenophiles will cherish the generous wine cellar with the recycled timber cladding on the walls from Sydney’s former Pyrmont wharf.
