Light, bright, modern and homely. From the outside, 9 McPhee Street is everything you could wish for in a brand-new home.
Custom-built in 2022, its contemporary, timeless design is spread across one splendid level, with space, style and innovation front of mind.
The curved exterior’s Japanese shou sugi ban (charred timber) cladding and Bowral bullnose bricks set the tone and will intrigue you to find out what lies beyond.
Take a peek through the double-glazed windows and you’ll catch a glimpse of the eco-conscious materials used inside, including Carrara marble, Fibonacci terrazzo, Balmoral bluestone and durable burnished concrete floors.
Make your way indoors and you’ll be captivated from the get-go by its solar-passive design, which allows plenty of natural light to permeate the internal spaces and create a cosy ambient temperature.
An open-plan living space with raked ceilings will lead you to a covered outdoor entertaining area.
When needed, simply open the sliding doors for a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Essentially, you can double the size of your living area, so be prepared to host family Christmases here indefinitely.
Thankfully, this is made easy by the ultra-modern kitchen with butler’s pantry, large island bench, two Smeg ovens, induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher and stylish built-in liquor cabinet.
A separate media room is where the family can retire from the day to watch a quintessential Christmas classic such as Elf or Die Hard.
“The home is sustainably sophisticated with a north-facing aspect and solar passive key design features, making it ideal for Canberra’s four seasons,” says agent Martin Faux of Hayman Partners.
“With its unique design and well-positioned orientation, this home takes full advantage of its view overlooking Curtin’s enviable green space.”
