#soldbyholly

Set gracefully at the front of the iconic "Broadway" complex, the cunningham.home is more than just a townhouse it's a piece of Canberra's architectural story. One of only two residences designed by Australian Government architect Cuthbert Whitley in the late 1930s, the home showcases early Australian modernism at its best. Whitley's forward-thinking vision brought European functionalist principles to local soil single-level, flat-roof design, asymmetrical cubic shapes, and clean lines emphasising horizontality and function.

Beautifully preserved, the historical dwelling has been thoughtfully updated throughout to retain its original character and craftsmanship while enhancing its liveability with modern comforts. Behind the simplistic white facade, the cunningham.home provides a harmonious single-level floor plan with luxurious formal and informal spaces.

Step inside, and you're met with a sense of calm and generosity. A broad entry foyer welcomes you into formal living spaces that feel warm and refined. The lounge is intimate and inviting, anchored by a gas fireplace and custom joinery, while the adjoining dining room and casual sitting space open into an updated kitchen a monochromatic moment of white cabinetry, sleek stone benches, tiled splashback and premium Smeg appliances. It's a layout made for connection, entertaining, and quiet everyday rituals.

Sunlight moves softly through the home, filtered through plantation shutters. Each room offers its own peaceful outlook gardens surrounding of pencil pines, English box hedges, and green softness that buffers the world beyond. Three generous bedrooms with plantation shutters and built-in robes provide comfortable spaces to relax and retreat.

The cunningham.home is for those who love design, who feel drawn to the quiet beauty of thoughtful architecture and the timelessness of good craftsmanship. This is a home that speaks to the heart of design lovers. A home of substance, simplicity, and soul.

Griffith is famous for its wide tree lined streets, parklands, and lovely combo of old and new homes.
