In the heart of Deakin sits a mid-century icon that doesn’t need to shout to be seen — confident in its lines, warm in its textures, and timeless with its low-slung architectural silhouette.

Designed in 1967 by architect Miles Jakl, best known for Canberra’s Carousel restaurant, this home has earned its place in Home Beautiful and 100 Canberra Houses.

Let’s meet Bree, and take a look inside.
