15 Hotham Cres, Deakin is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 3 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 1658m2 and floor size of 224m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last transferred in June 2025.
When one of Canberra's noted architects and an engineer homeowner come together, design magic will surely follow. This stunning property in Deakin emerged in the 1970s from architect Tony Pegrum's design.
All intriguing, angled lines from the outside, the home opens to reveal immaculate sculptural rooms that you'll rarely see elsewhere. There's the spacious classically retro lounge with gas fireplace, long hearth, hidden dry bar and access to a serene courtyard garden dotted with tree ferns and a spectacular Japanese maple that gives the room a claret view in autumn.
A sunken dining room adjoining the lounge is an impressive space with abundant natural light from a wall of windows to the courtyard, convenience from a servery to the kitchen and architectural interest from a slick raked ceiling.
Not to be outdone, the sunken family room a few steps down from the kitchen has a supersized raked ceiling and provides the perfect setting for a cosy wood fireplace. One of the many highlights of this home is through sliding doors at the rear to a sunny, elevated terrace with a tranquil cascading water feature and reflection pool.
Beyond that is a simply enchanting backyard where a second alfresco space is shaded by the welcoming canopy of a mature ash which conjures images of festive, food laden tables beneath festoon lighting.
The bedroom quarters reveal an array of distinctive and thoughtful details.
The primary bedroom of this home benefits from a generous walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms feature a built-in desk and shelving to each, skylights to two of the rooms and one room with a concealed door from its generous wardrobe into the nearby hall. At the far end of the bedroom wing, a spacious studio provides the flexibility to serve as an independent fifth bedroom, an inviting retreat for guests or a private, self-contained suite.
Also noteworthy is an enormous laundry a space that is currently serving dual function as a sewing room and could be reimagined for a number of purposes.
Well-known among neighbours for its spectacular front garden azalea displays, this home is in a lovely walkable location close to Canberra Girls Grammar junior and senior schools, Parliament House and the vibrant Deakin shops and not far from Manuka and Kingston.
