Top 4 homes to inspect in Canberra this weekend
As someone who’s lived in just about every corner of Canberra, I like to think that I’m pretty well versed in our residential landscape.
However, even I am sometimes taken back by a previously undiscovered treasure – particularly in a relatively young city that’s constantly growing and reinventing itself.
Make an appointment to explore our list of must-inspect properties this week across Canberra, a mix of old and new properties that have caught our attention throughout the week.
Wherever you are in your property journey, we hope these top picks spark some inspiration.
Chapman
Positioned on a 1146-square-metre block, this four-bedroom home has been renovated over 15 years by the owner-builder to become a modern masterpiece.
With two garages – each with its own workshop space – study, media room, family room and separate living area, the home easily accommodates large families.
Children will love exploring the garden and playing in the state-of-the-art cubby house, while adults will love curling up by the fireplace in the oversize lounge, or relaxing in the private main bedroom suite.
Every detail is considered and well-designed, from the cedar ceiling in the formal entrance to the bamboo carpentry concealing the media room.

Deakin
Built in the 1960s, this house has had a series of renovations, restorations and extensions, all so cleverly designed and executed they’ve resulted in a one-of-a-kind home perfect for the modern family.
Retro features like a wood fireplace are balanced with new finishes such as European oak floors and even bespoke door handles, all sympathetic to the home’s era.
Upstairs are the main living spaces and a stunning kitchen – with Italian marble, feature wood panelling and a multifunctional butler’s pantry – the main bedroom suite with walk-though wardrobe and en suite, another two bedrooms, a bathroom, a powder room and a home office.
Another new addition up here is a rear deck that nestles under an idyllic Chinese elm tree. A quaint and cool place to host gatherings or simply watch the world go by, especially in the depths of summer when you’re surrounded by a lush garden of mature deciduous plantings.
Downstairs almost doubles as a separate unit with another bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, laundry and rumpus room.
Price guide: $2.5 million +
