3/69 Blamey Crescent, Campbell, ACT 2612

An artful renovation honours the mid-century design by renowned architect Harry Seidler, ushering in a palette rich in colour and texture. The classic split-level arrangement maximises space and privacy, gifting an airy freedom - high voids and walls of glazing that spill to outside on both sides.

This super cool townhouse is perfectly located a few steps from George Cross Memorial and backed by green commons that wander all the way to Mt Ainslie. It is a short stroll to the ever-popular Campbell shops, moments to the War Memorial and within cooee distance of the CBD.

The street presence sings with retro chic: think a neat row of two-storey homes, blonde brick and clean linear lines. The roofline is flat with a white fascia to match the balcony railing, finished with a matt black balustrade. Breeze blocks line the single carport with the convenience of direct access.

Golden timber floors, timber-framed doors and windows and crisp white walls set the scene, with the home brimming with elemental architectural kudos. The yellow brick carport introduces an energetic autumnal feel and combines with splashes of blue. And we love the curve of the iron balustrade of the floating timber stairwell, connecting each level like a sculptural installation.

The kitchen is all timber cabinetry with a deep blue worktop and pale sky-blue glass splashback, reflecting the wealth of sunshine that pours through the glass wall. There is a vibe – social and convivial – with relaxed breakfast-bar seating for an open conversational flow back and forth from the dining area. Doors can be flung open, extending the space to the courtyard, where high walls enclose and privatise. Cycads grow in garden beds neatly edged in Corten steel, and there is direct gate access to the rear and endless green surrounds.

The second level is given over to an elegant living area with bespoke cabinetry for display and storage. Glass sliders welcome light and open to an elevated balcony that drinks in blue skies and leafy treetops. The master bedroom sits adjacent and drifts to the same balcony, so sleeping is informed by nature. Patterned blue sheers filter the light and there is lots of built-in storage, including open shelving. The ensuite bathroom is pretty in green with gorgeous mosaic tiling and playful storage in a pop of vivacious lime.

Two sunny bedrooms occupy the top floor, both with linear casement windows that frame leafy views. Built-in wardrobes take care of storage, and both rooms invite with their playful combo of aubergine and orange. There is also a delightful family bathroom - all sunlight and space with soaring ceilings. Mosaic tiling features on the floor, coalescing with the organic toned floating vanity and there is a deep relaxing bathtub.
