15 Frome Street, Narrabundah, ACT 2604

Skilfully updated with a design-forward sensibility, this delightful family home sits within meandering gardens that are not only impressively productive but provide a fragrant and colourful surround for the heated pool and neighbouring sun-drenched terrace.

Character has been fused into the thoughtful renovations, from the leadlight in the maple-framed front door which gives a nod to art-deco style, to the cocooning lounge room with its wood-burning fire, Canberra red-brick hearth, and a picture-rail gallery wall.

Yet this is also a forward-thinking and ergonomically designed home, with smart locks, hydronic heating to the ground floor, thermally broken double-glazed glass, wide hallways and a removable staircase balustrade that allows for large furniture to easily be manouvered to the upper floor.

Forming a functional L-shape, the kitchen and dining area spill out to the rear deck via sliding doors. The dining room can accommodate a 12-seat table, while the kitchen is a glamorous engineering marvel, sleek and classic with bespoke wine drawers having been fitted under the stairs. The remaining joinery seamlessly incorporates integrated appliances.

The primary bedroom on the ground floor has access to a designer bathroom that features a large shower and a 3m vanity with double sinks.

Upstairs, a large family bathroom services a further four bedrooms, three of which are queen-sized and one, king. The bedrooms open onto an expansive second living room with through-and-through views. Tucked away in a walk-in linen cupboard is a chute to the laundry below, providing practical benefit for busy families.

Positioned in a friendly neighbourhood and known locally for its wildflower nature strip, this striking home is just a 5-minute stroll from the Griffith shops' exceptional cafes and restaurants, 7 minutes' walk from St Edmund's and St Clare's colleges and close to Manuka Village, Kingston Foreshore and the Fyshwick Markets.
