8 Goble St, Hughes is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1965. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in June 2024.
Architect Neville Ward was a Canberra Architect widely recognised for his work as part of the design team for the Sir John Sulman award-winning Canberra Olympic Pool. He is known for a collection of visionary modernist homes full of ingenious details.
8 Goble Street is a perfect example of his exemplary work, designing this house originally for an academic family. With its simple rectangular planning, textural use of brick and Tyrolean render finish with expansive floor to ceiling windows facing the arboretum and capturing the warm North westerly sun. The house is balanced with oversized eaves to shield the summer rays whilst keeping the house cool with cross ventilation design.
It's current homeowners have lovingly renovated and updated this family home so it may be enjoyed for many years to come. This is a rare opportunity to live in a beautiful home filled with soft gentle light, views of stunning sunsets over the arboretum and peaceful neighborhood.
