Mid-century classic up for grabs in Canberra's new "it" suburb

Idyllically situated in the leafy, green Radburn estate of Curtin is the hidden gem at 11 Philip Place.

This home, while modern, is completely unique. You’ll find nothing like it in the bush capital, and yet, somehow, it blends in perfectly.

Fronting the area’s stunning parkland, the home has been tastefully extended and renovated to blend into the natural landscape in keeping with the Radburn design.

The private single-level floor plan is ideal for modern family living.

The open-plan living areas comprise a family room on one side and a lounge on the other, separated by a dining space connected to the kitchen.

While recently updated, its style boasts a nod to the ’70s. It’s like an edgy, cooler version of grandma’s kitchen, minus the tea cosy and doilies, and equally as welcoming.

Agent Brett Hayman of Hayman Partners believes the leafy outlook is one of it’s major attractions.

“The outlook from the immense open-plan living room across one of Curtin’s green belts makes this Radburn Estate home a hidden gem,” he says.

The entire living area is surrounded by large double-glazed windows that capture the expanse of the beautiful parkland surrounding it.

On one side, it’s lined with a half-height bookshelf, a stylish addition to the room and the perfect place to settle in and get lost in a few chapters of a thrilling novel or catch up on some study.

On the other side, the lounge opens to a private entertaining deck overlooking the rear garden.

In summer, this area is cooled by the shade of the various deciduous trees plotted among the garden. In autumn, these same trees put on a most spectacular show.

Recent sales in Curtin throughout September include a four-bedroom home at 9 Dry Street which sold for $1.525 million and another four-bedroom home at 65 Dunstan Street which sold for $1.67 million.

Surrounding area:

Canberra’s new “it” suburb. Stroll to local schools, day-care centres, parkland and playing fields. Curtin’s shops are about a minute’s walk away and include great hospitality options such as Redbrick coffee and Two Blind Mice Italian-style dining.
