Last Listing description (January 2020)
With panoramic views and award-winning design, this unique home, more commonly known as Blue House, sits high on Fadden Hills and is a rare opportunity for those looking for something special.
Featured in multiple publications including 100 Canberra Houses: a century of capital architecture Blue House is described as an example of late twentieth century organic style. This bespoke home features recycled timber from the wool stores and wharves of Darling Harbour and a front door from St Augustines convent in Balmain. The use of warm timbers and exposed brick provide contrasting textures on the interior and the plethora of windows and glass used throughout enable the light to flow to every room.
Flowing across three levels, the home has a connective energy suited to a creative family, largely due to the main and upper levels being open to each other. The upper level has three bedrooms, a bathroom, music room or second living room and a mezzanine study that looks over the living space below. The main level includes the master bedroom with ensuite and private patio, kitchen, dining space and a living room that opens onto a huge wraparound deck. A large ground level office has its own bathroom and private entrance and could be converted into a flat.
Designed to fit into the environment, the home steps down the hill taking advantage of cooling summer breezes and the amazing views. A curved colourbond roof and deep eaves provide shade from the summer sun whilst allowing winter sun to flood the upper level. The surrounding gardens are mostly native and provide privacy from the adjoining reserve.
