Architecture, Nature & a Home with Soul

Auction Location: On Site
Designed by renowned Australian architectural homebuilders Pettit & Sevitt, this is a home with a character and warmth that simply cannot be replicated. Pettit & Sevitt pioneered contemporary residential design through the 1960s and 1970s, highly regarded for drawing natural light into bright, open spaces and their brilliant use of glass and timber, indoor-outdoor connection and architecture that harmonises beautifully with its natural surrounds. At 5 Don Place, those principles remain wonderfully evident today.
Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac and framed by established greenery and florals, the home feels private and peaceful from the moment you arrive. Its elevated position captures expansive outlooks towards Black Mountain Tower and the Brindabellas from the rear, while a northerly orientation to the front allows the home and its inviting patio spaces to embrace the winter sun. Looking around, you can feel the friendly and inviting nature of the location, and see how every neighbour cares for their flourishing gardens.
Inside, there is an immediate sense of warmth and individuality. Western Red Cedar panelling, timber-framed windows and expansive glass celebrate the home's architectural origins, while almost every window frames a different garden or distant outlook. Light-filled, airy and wonderfully spacious, the floorplan offers three distinct living areas and an abundance of flexibility for family life.
At its heart, the generous living and dining spaces flow around the practical kitchen, equipped with electric cooking and dishwasher. Beyond, the family room is a clever and sympathetic extension of the original home, complete with Jarrah flooring, its own fireplace and separate access. An incredibly versatile space, it could just as easily become a fourth bedroom, artist's studio, home office, retreat or second family room.
Accommodation includes three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, with the main bedroom enjoying its own ensuite. The family bathroom includes a separate bath and shower, while a generous laundry adds everyday practicality. Ducted gas heating keeps the home comfortable through Canberra's cooler months. Paved off-street parking provides room for multiple vehicles.
And then there is the garden. Opening from the rear of the home, the expansive elevated deck feels like a retreat amongst the treetops, taking in beautiful views across the established garden and beyond towards the mountains. Mature trees provide welcome summer shade, while layered greenery, a pond and cubby house create a garden sanctuary alive with birdlife and visiting wildlife � all without a lawn to mow.
There is an unmistakable creativity to this home. Lovingly held as an artist's home, its use of timber, light, outlook and garden has been embraced. It is interesting without being impractical, character-filled without sacrificing space, and above all, a wonderfully welcoming family home.
With reserve access at the top of the street and a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, 5 Don Place offers something increasingly difficult to find: original architectural character, generous family living and a genuine connection to nature.
