A cleverly designed, modern home in one of Canberra’s most desirable suburbs, 216A La Perouse Street is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom separate title townhouse in Red Hill offering the best of the Inner South.
Spread across two levels, this four-bedroom property was designed for a young family or a downsizer seeking a more manageable layout while still providing enough space to spread out.
“The floorplan puts communal spaces like the lounge/dining room and kitchen in the centre,” McIntyre Property agent Scott Isaacs says.
“What this does is separate the more practical spaces, such as the laundry, mudroom, storage space and powder room, located next to the garage, from the master wing on the other end.”
The master bedroom is large and features a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite, and an adjacent study next to the main bedroom, which makes the wing a real retreat.
It’s a versatile space that can serve as a home office, library, or small living space.
Expanding the master bedroom’s space is a private rear deck, easily accessed through large sliding glass doors and benefiting from northerly light. The deck is set in the low-maintenance, easy-to-manage garden.
A large kitchen, fully outfitted with Miele appliances and featuring a walk-in pantry, serves as the property’s central hub, opening onto the home’s dining space.
“You could easily fit four people in the kitchen – it’s a real entertainer’s space,” Scott says.
What’s more, it opens onto an internal courtyard, a private space that would work perfectly as an outdoor dining area.
“This design is so seamless, you don’t really notice how well it’s been planned until you’re here. Everything has a logic to it, aimed at creating welcoming, entertaining spaces while giving people the privacy they want,” Scott says.
Secondary bedrooms are positioned on the first floor, creating an oasis of privacy in the master suite.
The property also benefits from numerous quality-of-life features and inclusions that make home management and daily living far easier, including multiple air-conditioning systems, a 4-star EER energy rating, storage space throughout, and an automatic door on the double garage, which features its own workshop.
A position on a walkable street in one of Canberra’s best-known blue-chip suburbs is the cherry on top.
“When families first come to Canberra, they always aim for suburbs like Red Hill. It has the best of the Inner South. Canberra Grammar, Red Hill Primary, St Bede’s, St Clare’s and Canberra Girls Grammar are all within a few minutes’ drive,” Scott says.
Families will see significant value in this proximity to the best schools in Canberra, especially since the home is on a bus route, making it easy for children to get to school.
“But of course this position means that the Red Hill shops are within walking distance, the Manuka shops are within cycling distance, and it’s a short drive to get to either Kingston or Civic,” Scott says.
“That means café culture, dining, pubs, national institutions are never far away, yet you still live on a quiet street in one of Canberra’s best suburbs.”
Offering a rare combination of location, design and space, 216A La Perouse embodies the best that Canberra living can be.
