Note from the editor
This week, I’ll be moving with my family into our newly built property after a lengthy construction period. With an almost blank canvas, I’m busily determining how to achieve the perfect interior aesthetic. For the record, I’m leaning into the neutral tones of coastal chic because in this phase of my life – juggling career and kids – I crave minimalism and calm! However, after reading about colour drenching, this technique has now piqued my interest. Flick to our Style story (p14) to see how designers are using it in their projects. We also showcase a Forrest property that screams ‘old Canberra’. This grand dame makes a worthy cover; the grounds alone offer a wealth of inspiration.
Some homes seemingly sweep a leg and beckon you inside, but the stunning home at 4 Keyar Street in O’Malley offers more of a trumpet fanfare with its double-height glass entryway. Inside, you’re met with gleaming tiles, expansive formal dining and living areas, and swaths of glass providing glimpses of the established gardens. Belle Property’s Oumaya Escribe says the gardens have been “meticulously maintained to provide a serene setting for relaxation or outdoor dining”.
The open-plan kitchen is modern, featuring stone benchtops, a breakfast island, premium Miele appliances and a generous walk-in pantry.
Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys an en suite, walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony. Three other bedrooms, all with built-in robes, share a second bathroom, while a loft area provides a convenient recreational space. A fifth bedroom or study downstairs includes built-in storage and a desk. The March 12 auction has a guide of $2.9 million-plus.

There’s plenty to love about this stylish townhouse. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with sliding-door access to a front courtyard. This space is afforded privacy from the street thanks to established hedges. The upper level includes the main bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe, and two further bedrooms that share a main bathroom. It’s located close to the University of Canberra, Northside Hospital and Belconnen Town Centre.

A country manor in the city
While this Forrest house may whisper “old Canberra”, it also delivers contemporary grace through extensive renovations.
Style never goes out of fashion, and this classic Forrest home has plenty of it – and even more to spare. Its story begins on a rolling block of 2474 square metres on Tennyson Crescent, arguably one of Forrest’s most exclusive streets. This stately house more than earns its place there. Behind high hedging and elegant wrought-iron gates, it’s set perfectly amid manicured formal gardens.
This home whispers “old Canberra” through an understated but emphatic architectural expression that combines art deco influences with the countrymanor style more often found in the Southern Highlands.
If it were a drink, it would be a Scottish single malt, no ice, no water, with a hand-rolled cigar to go with it.
This is a classic that absolutely oozes historic grace – a step back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. But it hasn’t been left behind. This home has been cared for and brought along through the ages.
It retains its character and ambience through period features such as high ceilings, French windows and doors, polished hardwood floorboards, plantation shutters and open fireplaces.
However, it has moved seamlessly into the 21st century through extensive renovations that have delivered the best in contemporary living.
Mario Sanfrancesco of Blackshaw Manuka says the home offers charm and a welcoming feel.
“You can absolutely sense it, but the appeal is in how well the home has adapted to modern needs while still retaining its old-world charm,” he says.
“This has everything that today’s family needs – and spaces that can be reimagined.”
The floor plan has many parts that, at first glance, look like the playing surface of the Cluedo “whodunit” board game. It works wonderfully in providing options for families to come together while allowing parents and children to find their own private retreats.
Character and ambience: The house would not be out of place in the Southern Highlands.
“The appeal is in how well the home has adapted to modern needs while still retaining its old-world charm.” Mario Sanfrancesco
Simply put, there’s a living and bedroom level and two lower levels that provide further options. The same is true of a very generous loft area.
The main living level offers a charming dining room with an open fireplace, and a library – oh, the joy of such a place, shelves groaning with books – with its own cosy fireplace, too.
There’s an elegant sunken lounge room that flows seamlessly onto an outdoor entertaining area overlooking a sparkling in-ground pool.
The indoor story isn’t finished, however. The gleaming white kitchen with a coffered ceiling emphasises the home’s modern credentials through marble benchtops and splashback, custom joinery and Miele appliances. Those modern lines continue in the bathrooms, all with marble finishes and underfloor heating.
There are four spacious bedrooms, and the bright and airy main suite offers a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite –and views of the pool and garden.
The lower levels offer the potential for a guest room or home office as well as a media room. A large loft area also sits above the double garage and storage.
Sanfrancesco says these big spaces offer multipurpose options that could be converted to a wide range of uses.
“A billiards room wouldn’t be out of character, but more modern options might include a fitness room, hobby room, games room or home theatre,” he says. “For such a well-established home, there are still plenty of opportunities to shape the space to meet the needs of a new family.”
They would likely be very happy not to change the existing outdoor area that is completed by an elegant garden rotunda and a pool house with a sauna. If it seems things couldn’t get any better, this grand dame is only a short walk from both of Canberra’s prestigious grammar schools.
This feature is part of an Allhomes Deluxe package.

The power of a painted ceiling
The colour above your head can change the ambience and the perception of a room’s size.
“In modern, minimalist spaces, a painted ceiling provides contrast or a pop of colour without disrupting clean lines,” Natale says.
“In more traditional homes, detailed or textured ceilings in complementary colours enhance the design.”
Colour cues
Designer Rebecca Jansma looks to a space’s art and rugs for colour inspiration.
For her Prospect Road project, she selected a caramel shade for the ceiling, drawing inspiration from the rug, vivid artwork and a sumptuous velvet sofa, and creating a sense of harmony.
Ceilings in various colours can create a sense of either volume or intimacy, enhance detail and correct proportions.
“Lighter colours enlarge a space by lifting the ceiling, while darker colours make it feel more enclosed,” says Julia Cox from JcHQ Architecture and Interiors. “A painted ceiling can enlarge a space by making the walls and ceiling more continuous and make modern low ceilings and boring cornices disappear.”
Designer Carolyn Burns-McCrave recommends pink to those who are trying coloured ceilings for the first time.
Designer Greg Natale has a fondness for ceilings. “I find they’re too often overlooked,” he says. “Just like walls, they shape a room’s proportions, light and personality. Treating them as the ‘fifth wall’ unlocks their full potential.”
Regardless of a home’s style or size, painted ceilings create ambience and enhance volume by drawing the eye up. “It’s more than just a bold design move,” Natale says. “A painted ceiling is an unexpected touch that makes a space feel considered and complete.”
Interior decorator and colour consultant Lauren Egan agrees. “Ceilings are under-
utilised spaces,” she says, “and colour is a cool way to add interest.”
Into the light
The ceiling colour choice will largely depend on how well-lit a space is.
“Rooms with ample natural light can handle darker ceilings without feeling cramped, as the light balances the intensity of the colour,” Natale says.
While smaller rooms with low ceilings often feel more spacious when painted in softer, muted tones. Intimate spaces like powder rooms can be perfect for experimenting with daring colours.
“You can’t go wrong with a pink ceiling, whether it is the palest blush or a bold coral,” she says.
Reflected glory
Harmonising ceilings and walls is known as “colour drenching”, which is “a powerful way to create a bold, cohesive design that feels immersive and intentional”, Natale says.
For his Mosman II project, he drew inspiration from Tiffany & Co.’s iconic blue box and enveloped the entire space for a gorgeous jewel-box effect.
When designing a chic home theatre, he selected a ruby red for the ceiling that made the entire space feel dramatic.
Colour drenching can make a room appear larger because the eye moves across the space instead of pausing at the junction between the wall and ceiling.
“When the same colour is used on both, they reflect off each other, appearing more intense,” Burns-McCrave says. “So, keep this in mind when choosing your colour.”
For a sumptuous lounge room, Egan picked an earthy blue hue for the ceiling, walls and sofa. “The biggest ‘ah-ha’ for me was not seeing that change in colour from the walls to the ceilings,” she says. “It made it feel complete and comfortable.”
Jansma says it’s essential to test colours before use. “Order A4 swatches and paint on large plaster offcuts to look at in different lights,” she suggests.
“If you want to heighten the space, go a half shade lighter, or to make it feel cosier, try a darker shade. If it’s too complicated, paint it all the same colour, or to create instant fabulousness, just paint it gold! Be brave.”
So, does this mean white ceilings are on the out? “Honestly, we still love a crisp white ceiling!” Jansma admits. “But if you crave individuality and love colour, take the leap.”

A relaxing yet refined lifestyle
From the street, 6 Quenda Close in Throsby is an eye-catcher with its modern lines and striking design. But step through the front door, and the love affair truly begins.
The first thing to catch the eye? The light – it trickles through the dramatic sheer curtains that soften the doubleheight windows in the home’s northfacing living spaces.
Then there’s the kitchen, where a fivemetre stone island bench makes a bold statement. It’s a space that is made for gathering, from casual breakfasts with
the family to lively weekend dinners with groups of friends.
With three distinct living areas, the home gives everyone room to breathe. And that doesn’t include the terrace – a covered retreat just off the kitchen, wrapped by a spacious backyard.
Upstairs, the rumpus room makes for a perfect kids’ retreat or a work-fromhome haven.
Just down the hall, the main-bedroom suite feels like a private hotel escape, with an oversized walk-in wardrobe and dressing room, a free-standing bath,
“A rare fusion of modern luxury and seamless design, this masterpiece offers breathtaking reserve views, premium finishes, and sunlit northfacing living spaces perfect for families and entertainers.” and a private balcony that overlooks the serene reserve.
Another bedroom on the ground floor enjoys an en suite and walk-in wardrobe of its own, making it ideal for guests or older children.
Hydronic underfloor heating, four-zone ducted air-conditioning, solar panels and automated blinds mean the home works as beautifully as it looks.
With its quiet cul-de-sac location, leafy reserve across the road and easy access to parks and walking trails, life here would be as relaxing as it is refined.

For some, it’s the Canberra dream: owning a home adorned with red bricks in the Inner South.
A new development in Griffith offers a slight twist on the dream. Those same red bricks, but instead, on the facade of a boutique apartment development.
Renaissance, by local developer Morris Property Group, offers a sophisticated blend of contemporary living and heritage charm in a coveted location.
Stage 3 of the development is currently on sale, with a range of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with various floor plans still available.
The design for the development was all about honouring the area’s heritage, retaining as many trees as possible and incorporating those red bricks.
“In autumn, you get a lot of colour throughout the precinct – the oranges and the reds – and in summer, you are surrounded by lush greenery,” says Travis Welsh from Morris Property Group. “So, it’s a very nice place to be with the red brick, black highlights and the trees.
“The centre of the project looks onto the church next door, which is also red brick.

EER: 6.5
Feature we love: The sophisticated facade offering a modern take on the iconic Canberra red brick.
From the developer: “We’ve tried to maintain that boutique, low-density feel, and that certainly comes through in the project. It’s very peaceful, right in Manuka , and the apartments are brand-new and ready to move into today.”
“So, you’re getting this overwhelming sense of heritage in the area, but you’re in brand-new apartments.”
Another key drawcard of Renaissance? The location.
“It is quite literally a 30-second walk from everything Manuka has to offer,” Welsh says. “[I believe] it’s the best part of Canberra. Manuka has such a broad range of high-quality retail, dining and amenity and it’s all on your front doorstep.”
The apartments were designed with low-maintenance and modern living in mind. They feature open-plan living spaces and contemporary finishes, fullheight windows, and sliding doors that open onto balconies.
“We’ve tried to develop a good mix of apartments so that there’s something for everyone,” Welsh says. “There are smaller two-bedroom apartments for those who are a little bit more price-conscious.
“Then, there are larger terrace-style apartments with magnificent views over the Inner South, towards Manuka Plaza, Parliament House, and the city.
“But no matter where you are in the development, there are no bad views.”
Beyond their front doors, residents also get to enjoy a range of shared amenities.
“There’s a dedicated recreation centre and barbecue facilities, and there are two enormous common dining areas with a big kitchen,” Welsh says. “So, you could easily cater for 30 people. It’s like an extension of your living space.”
Not that you have to share them with too many neighbours; the lowrise nature of the buildings in the development limits the number of apartments and residents in the precinct, which helps to keep a boutique feel.
There’s no waiting for buyers. The brand-new units are ready for immediate occupancy and eligible for benefits such as the First Home Owners Grant. Four fully furnished display apartments are currently available for viewing onsite, offering a first-hand look at the finishes and spaces.

THE LOCAL EDIT
Words & photos by Cadena McKenzie
As a photographer, there is nothing I like better than to take my camera (and some friends, too) on a trip to get re-inspired. Luckily, Canberra has so many beautiful places right on its doorstep.
Whether you are a smartphone snapper or a DSLR diva, here are some of my favourite photogenic road trips around Canberra that can be driven to and captured in a day.
Mulligans Flat – Gundaroo – Collector – Lake George (Some unsealed road)
Mulligans Flat is a nature reserve just on the northern edge of Gungahlin. It’s a massive pest-proof area that has wildlife thriving inside.
Not only is the landscape beautiful and wild, it’s not uncommon to see echidnas, lizards, dragonflies and wombats.
From there, head to Gundaroo, a quaint country town with fabulous features such as the stunning Royal Hotel and restaurant (worth a trip in its own right), the picturesque Gundaroo Community Church, and St Mark’s Anglican Church, which used to be the courthouse.
With such visually beautiful buildings, it’s worth getting out of the car and walking up and down the main street.
If you follow your feet off the main stretch, you can also discover the river, historical cemeteries and plenty of gorgeous moments you’ll want to capture.
From Gundaroo, head along Marked Tree Road, a dirt road through the bush, and you’ll find yourself on the top of the range that follows Lake George.
Four of the most photogenic day trips around Canberra
There is much to see, experience and photograph in the myriad locations within a day’s drive of Canberra.
One worthy stop is the base-jumping platform. From here, you will have a clear view across the valley, Lake George and the windmill farms on the other side. Continue on and you’ll end up in Collector. Stop here and enjoy a drink at the Bushranger Hotel or cross the road to explore the Dreamers Gate sculpture. Head back towards Canberra on the Federal Highway and you’ll pass wineries, restaurants and the many rest areas along the lake, each worthy of its own stop.
The landscape is beautiful and wild; it’s not uncommon to see echidnas, lizards, dragonflies and wombats.
Bungendore – Braidwood –Captains Flat
Heading east from Queanbeyan is a road trip that starts off hilly and rugged.
The road between Queanbeyan and Bungendore is one of the more reliable areas for morning mists, making the farmland into a fantastical treasure of whimsical moments.
I will always stop for the historic Burbong railway bridge. Stretching across the Molonglo River and visible from the Kings Highway, it’s an iconic sight that one only needs to pull over to the side of the road to capture.
Bungendore itself has more than enough cafes and sights to perk up your morning.
Worthy of a peruse, Village Antiques is full of interesting furniture and knick-knacks and is also home to one of 12 giant Kewpie dolls from the Sydney Olympics.
Warri Bridge and the reserve next to it make a wonderful place to stop and capture everything from lizards to landscapes. With plenty of older buildings to photograph and some spectacular shops to explore, Braidwood is another gorgeous country town worth getting out of your car for.
Either head back home or take the long way via Captains Flat. You will follow an abandoned railway, discover historic churches and explore the old mining area.
The road towards Uriarra is a great start to this road trip. With views back across the city, or across the farmland towards the Brindabellas, this is one of my favourite stretches of road.
Follow Uriarra Road and you will eventually join up to Brindabella Road. Going up and over the Brindabellas does require care (and a careful eye on the weather), but if clear and dry, it’s passable in a car.
In what feels like a hidden valley, the road opens up and crosses over the Goodradigbee River. I could lose days here in this one spot.
Continuing along the road will take you through pine forests and national parks, eventually spitting you out at a T intersection not far from Tumut.
I recommend the detour into town, as the walk along the river from Bila Park and old Tumut Bridge takes you past the historic All Saints Church, through the Rotary Pioneer Park, and along to the Riverside Cafe next to the racecourse.
Return the way you came, or you can head to Wee Jasper via Wee Jasper Road and back to Canberra through Murrumbateman.
This will take you past rivers, iconic bridges, sweeping hills, open farmland and derelict farmhouses.
Tharwa – Tidbinbilla –Cotter Dam
This is my favourite road trip in the south of the ACT. Once on the Tuggeranong Parkway, you just drive straight until the small town of Tharwa.
Of course, dropping in at the iconic Lanyon Homestead before you get there is highly recommended. With food, coffee, and a location that photographers dream of, it’s worth the stop.
The river in Tharwa is lined with poplar trees and offers a beautiful walk down to a historic cemetery.
Tidbinbilla Road will take you past Lambrigg Lookout and over rolling hills towards Tidbinbilla Reserve.
Practice your wildlife photography by capturing animals in the Eucalypt Forest or on one of the many walks.
You can either explore further towards Corin Dam or get onto Paddys River Road to witness the most striking landscapes I have found in the ACT.
When you’re finally enclosed again in forest, you find yourself winding through curved roads past occasional wild deer until you arrive at Cotter Dam.

Dining, events, produce and opportunity
Pialligo brings a touch of country into the heart of Canberra, yet it is just minutes from the airport and not much further from the CBD.
Nurseries, pet boarding kennels and other unique offerings line the main road, along with some residences that would be quite at home on Mugga Way.
One might agree that the jewel in the crown of this unique piece of the capital is Pialligo Estate, a premium fine dining, event and farm produce property set on 12.6 hectares.
Many locals and visitors have enjoyed its award-winning dining venues, including the Pavilion restaurant and Glasshouse.
There have also been many weddings, birthdays and corporate events held in its versatile event spaces that can cater for up to 2000 guests. Add produce from the vineyard, olive grove and orchard and that adds up to a projected revenue of about $69 million over five years.
Sales agent Greg Lyons of LJ Hooker Commercial Canberra, in conjunction with Savills, says Pialligo Estate represents an extremely rare opportunity.
“It has developed a great reputation over the years for quality dining, events and farm produce,” he says.
