Terry Ring-designed home for sale in Hughes with price hopes of $2.7 million-plus

When a home is given its own name, you can assume – for the most part – that said home must be pretty special. Enter The Art House, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom property situated at 8 Birdwoord Street, Hughes.

Designed by the acclaimed Terry Ring, this stunning property stands as a testament to contemporary architectural brilliance and was a finalist in a past HIA Housing Awards season for good reason.

Upon entering through the grand foyer, you’re greeted by an impressive gallery space that sets the tone for the entire home. Gear up for a journey through a series of beautifully crafted spaces that blend form and function seamlessly.

The gourmet kitchen is in the heart of the home and features a large island bench, walk-through pantry, and combined laundry.

Enjoy cooking or casual dining at the breakfast bar while overlooking the breathtaking views of Woden Valley and the Brindabellas beyond.

From the living room, step out to the first of two outdoor entertaining areas. Here, you can enjoy the same panoramic natural vistas as the kitchen, offering the ideal backdrop when entertaining. The private rear yard includes a second outdoor area, ensuring you have year-round options for al fresco dining enjoyment.

Upstairs is the exquisite parents’ retreat – a serene and private escape featuring a spacious lounge area, balcony, walk-through wardrobe, and a superb en suite.

The north-facing home is designed for comfort and efficiency and offers zoned in-slab hydronic heating and ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, along with solar panels, and double glazing throughout.

“The Art House is an exceptional architectural masterpiece that offers outstanding views. The thoughtful design of this home provides a refined layout that is perfect for couples and families alike,” says agent Brenden Blewitt from Blewitt Properties.
