This Deakin residence is more than mid-century elegance – it’s timeless design reimagined for modern living.

Originally crafted by Moir and Sutherland, and later extended by award-winning Peter Collins, the home pairs architectural integrity with contemporary comfort. Polished Tasmanian oak floors, soaring ceilings and vast windows frame leafy garden vistas, while stone finishes, designer lighting and a Belgian Stuv fireplace bring warmth and that MCM refinement we all love.

Desert-inspired landscaping flows to private courtyards and alfresco dining zones, offering both retreat and connection. All you need is a late 60s car in the garage, a martini on the table and you’re set.

This home is a rare modernist Canberra treasure.

Let’s meet Louise from Belle Property and take a look inside.
