With travel restrictions beginning to ease right before the long weekend, Canberrans made every effort to head down the coast for a brief getaway. But imagine being able to experience your holiday home every single weekend.

That’s exactly the kind of lifestyle you’d live while residing at 145 Samaria Street. Connecting elegance, functionality and amenity, the home is a small piece of paradise.

Take the open-plan dining and family room, for example. Sophisticated interiors and high ceilings offer a luxurious place to rest and relax. Sliding glass doors provide a seamless flow to the outdoor entertaining area, and the pool.

Hot summer days will roll into each other, as family and friends drop by for a dip in the pool, an impromptu barbecue or a few cold drinks in the spa. That will keep the holiday feeling going every day.
