Cover property: Spacious Yarralumla house a work of art

Expansive white walls provide the perfect backdrop for a series of colourful artworks that complement the modernist influence in the design of this two-level Yarralumla residence.

The sensitive selection and positioning of artwork and sculpture enhance a gallery style that never loses sight of its primary function: to provide the familiarity, warmth and security that turns a building into a home.

Striking minimalist design, highlight by geometrically crisp lines, is accentuated by a neutral palette of materials including steel, timber, glass and stone. This is sharply contrasted through vivid pops of colour from the hanging art to deliver an unfolding series of pleasant surprises.

This is a generously-sized home with 450 square metres of internal space, including the garage and a massive basement space that is currently being used as a gym.

A main bedroom on the ground level will appeal to those who appreciate single-level living, while a further three bedrooms upstairs offer plenty of options for family and guests.

There are two big living areas, and  the hub of the home is a superbly-equipped chef’s kitchen, highlighted by a solid jarrah bench.
