18 Bannister Gardens

Griffith ACT 2603

When the original family built the home in 1947 they engaged the services of award winning architect Albert Henry Alfred Hanson. Securing a large allotment, previously set aside in the Gardens for a tennis court, the home is one of the few privately built residences in the Gardens. A family home for nearly 70 years, the house delights in stories of an emerging city, the early days of Canberra, bustling Manuka and the local Centre of Griffith.
As the saying goes 'if only the walls could talk' the most luxurious gold embossed wall paper adorning the dining room says it all. A family trip to the Gold Coast in the late 1970s staying in a luxurious penthouse, inspired a home makeover on their return, resulting in the 'must have' European designer wall paper.
If the spectacular large garden allotment doesn't get you, or the most coveted Inner South position of Bannister Gardens, then the coolest wallpaper in Canberra definitely will!
