Contemporary transformation

Dramatically reinvented, the house at 14 McIntyre Street, Narrabundah is simply divine.

The former red-brick cottage now embraces a sophisticated farmhouse aesthetic, with the facade’s new black A-frame roofline providing height for the stunning cathedral ceilings.

Agent Steph Hoss of Purnell says the home has been renovated and extended with all the quality and inclusions you could need.

“The original front remains as a nod to its past, while the rest of the home has been transformed into a contemporary masterpiece,” she says.

Skylights in the entry and floor-toceiling glazing in the expansive, openplan kitchen-dining-living space provide ample natural light, while a glass atrium connects the original part of the home to this new extension.

The main bedroom has a custom walkin wardrobe, with his-and-hers sides, that flows into a serene en suite.

The guide for the April 5 auction is $2.1 million-plus.

COVER STORY

Words by Jil Hogan

Defying expectations

This attention-grabbing architectural gem provides resort-style living – and a helipad, to boot – in the heart of Duffy.

Imagine, for a moment, the quintessential Duffy home. Perhaps you’re thinking of a modest brick build with a generous backyard. That vision has stood the test of time in one of Weston Creek’s most established suburbs – now, imagine the opposite of that.

Welcome to 13 Dolly McGrath Street, a property that well and truly defies expectations. Set on a sprawling 2250-square-metre block backing onto a reserve, it’s a home that makes a serious statement, from its luxury inclusions to its helipad – that’s right, there’s a helipad.

A tree-lined street and landscaped gardens welcome you, and its attentiongrabbing contemporary facade hints at the grand scale within.

Walking in alongside the tranquil water feature that guides you to the double front doors, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled upon an executive resort in a dreamy location instead of being in suburban Canberra. Inside, the sprawling home boasts six bedrooms and three bathrooms, multiple

living spaces, and ample al fresco areas.

The centrepiece is the open-plan living, dining and kitchen hub – an expansive, light-filled space that spills effortlessly onto an elevated terrace on one side and a poolside courtyard on the other.

The kitchen is a stunner, with a full butler’s pantry, induction cooktop, twin wall ovens, integrated coffee machine and bespoke waterfall-edge island bench.

Every detail has been considered, from the designer splashback to the extensive custom cabinetry.

Designed by architect Tony Trobe, it’s a home that’s far from your average, says listing agent Theo Koutsikamanis of Bastion Property Group.

“[The owners] designed the house from scratch,” he says. “The plan took about a year and the build took two years.

“They wanted privacy, they wanted to be backing the reserve, they wanted to be elevated. You don’t have a single person looking into you but the home captures views from every single window. It really has to be inspected to be appreciated.”

Privacy and luxury: The open-plan living, dining and kitchen hub is the heart of the Tony Trobe-designed home, which delivers 475 square metres of internal living space.

“It would suit multigenerational families because this home can really comfortably cater for three generations.” Theo Koutsikamanis

The luxury extends beyond the entertaining spaces. The main accommodation wing is home to a resort-style main-bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and dressing room, and an en suite featuring a free-standing bath, built-in fireplace and twin vanity.

Another completely private guest wing to the side of the house is equipped with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and living area.

“This [serves as] a self-contained unit with its own access and driveway,” Koutsikamanis says. “It would suit multigenerational families because this home can really comfortably cater for three generations.”

Other features include triple-glazed, thermally-broken windows, plus an expansive solar system.

Then there’s the garage – a cavernous seven-car space that also has an adjoining workshop and storage for three Tesla batteries.

There’s also further space to park caravans, boats or other big toys securely.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. Stepping out to the resort-style courtyard is like instantly arriving on holidays. Out here, you can spend lazy days in the solar-heated pool and spa or just relaxing on the deck.

On the other side of the dining room, the elevated terrace boasts an outdoor kitchen and makes the most of its elevated, picturesque outlook over Molonglo.

For a suburb known for its familyfriendly charm, the home at 13 Dolly McGrath Street is a bold and unexpected offering in a very private spot.

“It’s very segregated,” Koutsikamanis says. “There’s only in-and-out traffic; the only people who drive through the street are the people who live there.

“The home is appealing to people who work from home or intergenerational families that want that extra space as well.”

This feature is part of an Allhomes Deluxe package.

Words by Danielle Meddemmen

The Molonglo Valley is proving to be very popular, but oversupply and a lack of confidence could be tempering the market.

Development in the Molonglo Valley has boomed since residential land was released over a decade ago and buyers flocked to its growing mix of new builds, mediumdensity housing and apartments.

Designed with a focus on recreational activities and ecological conservation, it’s Canberra’s fastest-growing region, with projections it will house more than 70,000 people by 2050.

Mixed fortunes

However, according to the Domain House Price Report for the December 2024 quarter, not all suburbs are performing the same.

Coombs, for example, experienced steady growth over the past 12 months, rising by 3.2 per cent year-on-year to a new median house price of $821,500. This is in comparison to developing suburbs such as Denman Prospect, which dropped significantly, plummeting by 22.2 per cent to a median of $1.015 million.

Canberra’s median house price held steady at $1.065 million, marking the first time in almost six years that prices did not move over a quarter.

The report showed that the unit market also fluctuated in the Molonglo Valley region, with prices rising by 1.4 per cent in Wright but dropping in both Coombs and Denman Prospect by 7.5 and 2.6 per cent, respectively.

Alvin Nappilly of Confidence Real Estate says that, despite these results, properties aren’t necessarily flying off the market.

“It can be difficult to sell because I think people’s borrowing capacity [is restricted], and their general perception of the market is that it’s down and prices are decreasing,” he says. “But in saying that, I just had a property go onto the

Ups and downs in the Valley

Spoiled for choice: A lot of land has been released in Denman Prospect.

“A lot of the properties we are seeing now are newer homes … priced at around $1.7 million to sell.” Alexander Smout

market, and we held only one open home before it was nabbed for $40,000 over the reserve in a pre-auction offer. “So, sales like that are still happening in the region.”

Molonglo Valley was a big selling point for ACT Labor in the territory’s October 2024 election. The party pledged to provide more amenities and services in the area, such as a police station, library and community centre.

It also announced that the plans would include a flexible working hub for ACT government employees, a child and family centre, and a new public high school and college.

Construction began on the new emergency services station on Cotter Road in December.

In line with the region’s growth trajectory, the ACT government is also attempting to reclassify the Molonglo Valley as Canberra’s sixth town centre.

Nappilly says the infrastructure is a big pull for prospective buyers, especially young families.

“I think the appeal is mostly to do with the school zoning and the proximity to Belconnen Town Centre, the city and Weston Creek,” he says.

“People see it as a centre point and there are some really good schools popping up.”

It may also be viewed as a more convenient alternative to properties in the south, which are rising in value.

According to the Domain report, the Tuggeranong district rose by 2.4 per cent over the past year, with suburbs such as Gordon jumping by nearly 7 per cent.

Belle Property Canberra principal Alexander Smout says the price drop in Denman Prospect is unsurprising for several reasons.

“I think it’s due to the fact that they have released a lot of land in Denman

Prospect and there probably isn’t the demand for the amount of houses on the market at any given time,” he says.

“A lot of the properties we are seeing now are newer homes with a block worth $800,000, so they are priced at around $1.7 million to sell.

“There’s a lot to choose from,” Smout adds, “but probably not the demand at those price points.”

According to Domain data, the majority of Canberra buyers (56.8 per cent) are searching in the $500,000$1 million bracket, compared to 4.7 per cent searching in the $1.5 million-$2 million range.

However, Smout shared Nappilly’s sentiment that the region’s proximity to the rest of Canberra and continued investment in infrastructure meant it was a very attractive area for buyers.

One major draw for the local community is the new Molonglo

River Bridge, which is expected to be completed next year. The $230 million project is designed to improve the region’s connection to north Canberra.

But will new infrastructure projects result in an uptick in property prices?

Smout believes supply will likely temper the market.

“I am probably a bit pessimistic because, while we are selling a lot there, I don’t think this is a sustainable trend due to the fact that there is so much unsold land,” he says.

“With high build costs and land prices, there still needs to be a price that’s cheap enough so they are selling above cost.”

Domain research shows the Molonglo Valley region listings receive the lowest number of views compared to other Canberra districts.

Smout suggested that this could again be due to an oversupply, but turnkey properties will always be in demand.

“If you have a really nice double-storey family home, then you’re probably going to get decent views on it,” he says.

In the heart of it all

With the Gungahlin town centre continuing to go from strength to strength, it’s becoming an increasingly desirable location for firsthome buyers, downsizers and investors.

That’s precisely why Core Developments is launching Raya – a modern, energy-efficient apartment building that is located right in the heart of it all.

Available from today, Raya’s official release of off-the-plan sales marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for the development, which will include one, two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $489,900.

Known for its dedication to quality and innovation, the award-winning Core Developments has designed Raya with the modern apartment resident in mind, with a focus on style, comfort and functionality.

The outdoor spaces include balconies ranging in size from eight to 20 square

metres, and a communal rooftop with barbecue facilities.

Sales agent James Herbert of LJ

Hooker Project Marketing says the development’s energy-efficient design will reduce ongoing costs for owners.

“All the apartments have an above six-star energy efficiency rating, with the average well into the seven stars,”

Herbert says.

“They feature commercial-grade double-glazed windows, and highquality insulation and materials.

“There’s also a large solar farm system being installed on the rooftop that is going to feed electricity to power all the common areas, like the lighting, lifts and garage doors.”

With access to public transport, and the shopping and dining precinct right at its doorstep, the lifestyle on offer for residents is also a strong selling point.

Herbert says the position of the project is second-to-none.

“The number one feature is definitely location,” he says. “It truly is what people are looking for in apartment living these days, where you can walk out of the lobby and be among restaurants, cafes and community spaces.”

Herbert says residents will also be impressed by the modern aesthetic of

the interiors, featuring materials and finishes such as full-height windows and doors, Smeg appliances, reconstituted stone benchtops, Caroma tapware, Franke Maris sinks and vinyl timberlook flooring.

“Core is known for being detailorientated in delivering quality design and construction,” he says.

“They have strong sales, customer service and maintenance teams, so even after settlement, customers are being looked after.”

With settlement expected in the second quarter of 2027, those who purchase off the plan this year will enjoy the benefits of current market prices for only a 5 per cent deposit.

“So, if people are interested, it’s good to get in early on a project like this so they can secure the best apartments at the best pricing,” Herbert says.

A builder’s-own masterpiece

As any builder knows, it’s generally the little things that matter in a home. That’s why when builders craft their own homes, they bring a level of precision and thoughtfulness you won’t find in your average build.

Sitting at 2 Matters Street in Denman Prospect, this builder’s-own masterpiece nails the details that matter, without compromising on style.

Not that it isn’t beautiful to look at. The home makes an instant impression with its striking facade and sophisticated garden landscaping.

Inside, soaring raked ceilings and a statement timber feature wall set the tone for refined living. The open-plan kitchen is a showstopper with sleek stone benchtops, timber cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, Yabby tapware and premium Electrolux appliances.

Glass doors slide open to an entertainer’s deck, where an electric sunroof with rain-sensing technology allows for outdoor enjoyment no matter the weather.

While most of the home flows across a single level, the main-bedroom suite sits privately on the upper level. It features an elevated outlook, a study, a walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious en suite with dual showers, antique brass hardware and a heated towel wall.

There’s also in-slab and under-tile heating to the polished concrete floors and bathrooms, ducted heating and cooling, a 13.3-kilowatt solar system, and smart-home technology and security.

HOME TOUR

Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd

The couple are Gogglebox fan favourites and have returned to the couch for the 2025 season.

It’s surely only natural to wonder what might beckon beyond the ubiquitous Gogglebox Australia couches – they feel like they present almost like characters in themselves in each of the fan favourites’ homes.

And here’s the thing. In the case of the hit show’s happily married couple Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd, there’s good reason to be intrigued.

Beyond the sofa, the couple’s innerSydney abode is a meticulously reimagined home awaiting its own time in the spotlight.

While Sarah Marie and Matty, alongside Matty’s best friend Jad Nehmetallah, are among our best-known armchair critics, they’re also a designsavvy duo who relished the opportunity to breathe bold and beautiful new life into their 1960s home.

Family time: At home with Sarah Marie and Matty Fahd, with Malik and Lyon.

Words by Jackie Brygel • Photos by Trudy Pagden

“We really wanted it to feel homely and timeless, so we tried not to lean into the latest trends too much.” Matty Fahd

When the couple bought the house five years ago, it was a world removed from the stylish and light-filled sanctuary it is today.

“It was your typical suburban redbrick bungalow – very poky, and with floral tiles on the bathroom walls that reminded you of your grandma’s house,” Matty says.

“And when you turned the taps on, the water was brown,” Sarah Marie adds, with a laugh. “So that was something we definitely had to tend to straight away.”

From the outset, however, the pair were confident the house was a diamond in the rough.

“It needed some love,” Matty says, “but it was well built, and we were happy to move in pretty much as it was, knowing that renovating was always the plan.”

In 2024, they green-lit a major sevenmonth renewal and extension of the home, showcasing an airy entertaining domain that opens to an al fresco zone and freshly landscaped garden.

For guidance, the couple worked closely with Priscilla Elasi of interior design studio Studio Priscilla.

“Priscilla was absolutely phenomenal and a driving force in the selection of everything from all of the finishes to the furniture and styling pieces,” Matty says. In general, the aim was not to test

the limits of good taste or to create a trendsetting style.

Rather, it was to set a luxe yet tranquil tone within by utilising a harmonious base palette of organic materials.

Still, there are magical moments –several, in fact – of material and visual drama to surprise and enthral.

Behind a bank of crisp white kitchen joinery is a deep-green marble bar that brings glamour and sophistication.

There’s the couple’s opulent en suite bathroom, its sea of heavily veined verde Alpi stone brought to vivid emerald life in both slab and tile form.

Then, unveiled in the new living and entertaining zone, against white-painted walls and expanses of black, steel-framed glazing, is the strong architectural statement of a raked ceiling soaring to a five-and-a-half-metre pinnacle.

“It feels so grand when you walk into this area,” Sarah Marie says, to which Matty jokes: “Just don’t ask us to change a light bulb – we need scaffolding to get up there!”

That said, practicality was certainly a key consideration for the parents of sons Malik, 5, and Lyon, 20 months, who also share their world with an English bulldog, Bane.

“We have no sharp edges – that was important to us – and we wanted

the home to reflect our style while still being as low-maintenance and practical as possible,” says Sarah Marie, who has returned to Gogglebox in 2025 after a two-year break.

“Even the couch, which is a beigeycream colour, is surprisingly low maintenance,” she adds.

“The enemy with young children and a bulldog is drool,” says Matty, “so a beige couch is a little more forgiving in that regard – definitely more so than our previous green velvet couch.”

Primed for a fresh chapter of busy home life, the house brings daily solace and joy to the family.

“We really wanted it to feel homely and timeless, so we tried not to lean into the latest trends too much,” Matty says. “It’s turned out exactly as we wanted it to.”

For these Goggleboxers, this is indeed home. One that is always worth leaving the couch to further discover and enjoy.

FIVE QUESTIONS:

What’s the one item in the home you would save first above all else?

Sarah Marie: “After grabbing the kids, Matty and the dog and making sure they’re all safe, I’d take my staghorn plant at the front of the house –I love it.”

Favourite space in the house?

The

Sarah Marie: “I love the new living room. It has so much light.”

Matty: “The bar, for sure. Although I’ve just started six months of no alcohol, so it’s going to test me to look at it every day.”

The oldest thing in the home?

Matty: “The original red terrazzo step at the front.”

The newest thing in the home?

Sarah Marie: “Our outdoor furniture, which is from MCM House.”

Favourite spot on the couch for Gogglebox viewing?

Matty: “That’s easy! I love the corner section because I can put my legs up.”

Sarah Marie: “And I love the armchair side, so everything works out really well.”

Words by Ray Sparvell

Dividing the space to conquer the risk

Here’s an investor opportunity that proves there can be significant advantages in thinking inside the box.

In this case, the “box” was originally a 224-square-metre commercial space in the wildly successful Campbell 5 development. That’s a great size, but the downside is the pool of potential tenants with space needs at that level begins to shrink.

The solution was to create four smaller shopfront units within this premium corner location in the Greenwich Park building. Each tenancy now has its own dedicated entrance, and there are no common areas.

Units range in size from 35 square metres to 100 square metres. Tenants comprise a hairdresser, barber, real estate agent and a massage therapist. There are two allocated basement car bays.

Chris Antos of Sentia Real Estate says the subdivision spreads any risk over multiple tenancies.

“It provides four income streams rather than one and any potential vacancy down the track would likely be filled very quickly,” he says. “C5 has proved to be a

very successful mixed-use development with its resident population and neighbouring public sector offices.”

Net rent is around $153,000 per annum (ex GST) and there are annual increases of between 3 and 4 per cent depending on the specific tenancy.
