Braddon

I wish the word cool hadn’t been so overused that it has almost totally lost its meaning, because this terrace home is as cool as it gets – and is located in what is arguably Canberra’s coolest suburb.

Backed by a team of experts – SPACELAB, Dept. of Design and Judd Studio – this terrace home is the epitome of stylish, modern living in luxury.

The striking facade pays homage to Braddon’s industrial origins with sawtooth factory roofing and Bowral brickwork, but the interior is much more opulent and sophisticated.

There are four levels: the basement garage; the ground floor, with the main living area; the first floor, housing the main bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and en suite; and the top floor with the second and third bedrooms.

Thankfully, there is also a personal lift, in case you decide the trip up to the top is a little too excessive at times. (Also, you have a lift in your home – how cool is that?)

Tall windows and a void through the three levels of living mean the whole home is bathed in natural light, highlighting the sophisticated finishes found on every surface of the home.

My personal favourite is the lavish en suite – a private oasis designed to be an escape from the world. Even the most anxious of personalities will feel their stresses elevate during a tranquil soak in the free-standing bath.

The basement is large enough to fit three cars or, alternatively, a couple of cars and perhaps a workshop or extra storage space.

Price guide: $1.63 million

Tura Beach

View property

From the moment you pass the custom-built front door, this home exudes coastal chic.

The home features a pleasing palette of textures, including Venetian plaster in the entry, micro cement in all bathrooms, timber hardwood floors in the living area, and a pink clay-toned tile splashback in the kitchen.

There’s an arch motif that echoes throughout the home, from below the built-in bench in the entryway to the recessed shelving in the bathroom.

With crisp white walls and custom finishes throughout, the overall effect is equal parts luxurious and laid-back.

The large backyard and proximity to the beach make it the ultimate coastal escape.

Price guide: $1.299 million
