Space for a family – and five cars
“There aren’t many blocks opposite the Watson Woodlands with that elevation. But this house sits on one of them.”
According to Bastion Property Group’s Theo Koutsikamanis, the bespoke home at 73 Negus Crescent in Watson is a particularly rare find in a prime location in Canberra’s Inner North.
Situated on a quiet street, the fourbedroom dwelling benefits from its proximity to the preserved bushland opposite, along with the Federal Highway, Mount Majura, the tram line and all that the city centre has to offer. It’s a tranquil setting the agent knows well, tucked away in a pocket of the nation’s capital that Koutsikamanis believes is vastly under-appreciated. But it only takes one brief glance to discover this home ticks more than just the location box.
Designed by Canberra-based Thursday Architecture and built by Pillar Construction Co in 2022, its crisp white facade is strikingly modern, with
the upper and lower levels gracefully curving in a mirror image. Timber-look steel cladding adds contrast and serves as privacy screening, while bordering planter boxes will produce verdant greenery over time.
Then there’s the statement front door and adjacent garage – both black –which neatly tie in with the dark-framed windows incorporated throughout.
But in this home, what you can’t see from the street view is just as impressive as what you can. Because behind the modestly sized garage door, the driveway slopes down to a (jaw-dropping) five-car basement garage and workshop.
It’s a feature that Koutsikamanis says is virtually unheard of in the housing stock in this part of Canberra, and is the property’s signature point of difference in the market.
“You could easily fit six cars in there,” he says. “I’ve never seen a basement like it on a parcel of land this size. I think the home would appeal to everyone, but certainly to car enthusiasts.”

“It’s quite special to find these features on a suburban block in an established area like Watson. It’s really a remarkable home.” Theo Koutsikamanis
A mudroom, wine cellar and rumpus area, currently used as a gym, complete this level before timber stairs rise to the ground floor. Here, the contemporary finishes continue to unfold, with polished concrete (and underfloor heating) a defining feature of the openplan kitchen and living area.
This pulsing heart of the home feels bright and airy thanks to a skylight above the super-white dolomite stone island centrepiece and full-height sliding doors that open to a north-facing terrace and green space.
It’s easy to picture relaxing moments spent here in the sunshine, either casual or more formal with friends and family, with the built-in barbecue and drinks fridge on hand for gatherings.
Inside again, and curved walls mimic the exterior with pale recessed curtains providing soft, billowing elements against the solidity of the marble benchtops, splashback and two-toned custom cabinetry. The sleek modern kitchen offers plenty of bench space
and storage, supported by an induction cooktop, concealed rangehood and a full butler’s pantry.
Koutsikamanis says it’s evident the owner-builder hasn’t compromised on the quality of finish or amenities, with the design cleverly maximising the site while allowing the home to breathe.
“The floor plan is well thought-out and, in my opinion, faultless,” he says.
“You have not one but two bedrooms on the ground floor, each with their own full bathroom.
“It has everything you need on one level. In that way, the home would suit downsizers because you wouldn’t need to use the stairs as often.”
The top floor includes two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom. There’s also a flexible space with a large window for natural light.
The property will go to auction at 1.15pm on November 23 and is now open for inspection.
Koutsikamanis says this is an excellent opportunity to own a high-end home
with unique attributes in a convenient part of Watson.
“You only find properties like these in north Canberra out in Gungahlin,” he says. “It’s quite special to find these features on a suburban block in an
established area like Watson. You’re not overlooked by anyone. It’s really a remarkable home.”
This feature is part of an Allhomes Deluxe package.

“At its peak, we were welcoming 35,000 people annually to witness the spectacular falls.” John Hyles
Most people have probably never given a thought to owning their own tourist attraction, but here’s a once-in-lifetime-opportunity right in Canberra’s backyard.
Our very own natural wonder, Ginninderra Falls, is being offered for public sale for the first time in 40 years.
Sometimes regarded as “Canberra’s Kakadu”, this iconic landmark just over the border is NSW’s largest, privatelyheld waterfall.
The unique geological feature, which is 41 metres high, marks the beginning of the equally spectacular Ginninderra Gorge, home to many birds of prey, including falcons and eagles.
The site carries national significance and has attracted local and international visitors for its stunning natural beauty and activities such as bushwalking, rock climbing and bird watching.
The 56-hectare property has been owned by the Hyles family for 40 years, and farmers John and Anna Hyles know the potential that Ginninderra delivers as an ecotourism destination.
“At its peak, we were welcoming 35,000 people annually to witness the spectacular falls,” John Hyles says. “This is one of the most beautiful properties in Australia.”
The falls were once the capital region’s most visited attraction after the Australian War Memorial but were closed to the public in 2004 due to liability issues.
The family ideally wants to see the iconic landscape reopened to the public with the backing of government.
“We have taken great lengths to preserve this land and hope to see its
full potential realised by a new owner,” Hyles says.
“This is an exceptional opportunity on the doorstep of our nation’s capital.”
Ginninderra Falls is just 30 minutes from Canberra Airport, which is the perfect gateway to capitalise on the best of Australia’s natural attractions and harness the growth of leisure experiences and outdoor activities.

George Southwell of Ray White Rural Canberra and Yass says the sale is timely with the recent announcement of the NSW government’s 2035 Visitor Economy Strategy.
“Regional tourism is set to play a major role in achieving the state’s vision of growing tourism into a $91 billion powerhouse,” he says.
A vision for Ginninderra Falls includes the potential development of a worldclass ecotourism resort, complete with a wellness centre, walking trails to scenic waterfalls and opportunities for recreational pursuits such as kayaking, swimming, boating and fishing.
Southwell says a 2021 hotelier report identified the property as having the potential to become a capital-region “experience” destination similar to the exclusive Saffire Freycinet luxury resort in Tasmania.
“Experience tourism is on the rise and Ginninderra Falls has captured the interest of local and international visitors alike,” he says. “This is an Australian natural wonder waiting to be shown to the world.
“We’ve already had dozens of enquiries from as far away as the Middle East and Singapore, as well as throughout Australia.”
Southwell says there has been a high level of interest from experienced hospitality and tourism operators as well as all levels of government.
The Hyles say they are ready to step back and see Ginninderra Falls realised for its potential as a world-class attraction.
“We are offering the property for sale with immense pride, knowing that its next chapter can be even more extraordinary,” John Hyles says.

NEW HOMES
Words by Rosalie Iannelli
Denman Prospect is one of Canberra’s most praised suburbs.
Developed by Capital Estate Developments and sitting on the hillside of the Molonglo Valley, the suburb prides itself on its impeccable views, premium amenities and luxurious streetscapes.
With land in Denman North now on the market, the focus for the group has shifted to this area of the estate.
Marking a new stage of opportunity, the Denman Prospect Sales Suite is now open, allowing potential buyers to see and experience the lifestyle that awaits in this incredible new area.
Sitting on Romano Street, the new Denman Prospect Sales Suite has new display homes beginning to morph around it with five set to open before the end of 2024 and another three in early 2025. Three are already open.
“We’re working with a total of eight local and national builders to bring the display village to life, including the likes of Melross Homes, Molonglo Constructions, Classic Constructions and Elevated,”
Get the village feel
Explore the Denman Prospect Display Village
says Capital Estate Developments’ Nick McDonald Crowley.
Aimed at second or third-home buyers, the display village homes have been built with Denman Prospect’s “premium estate” vision, with superior materials and finishes, and high-end styling.
“Each of the homes have also been crafted to blend into the landscape and
work with Denman Prospect’s hilly topography,” McDonald Crowley says.
“Whether that’s as a double-storey home, or cleverly designed split level that looks like it could be single level from the streetscape.”
The Denman Prospect Sales Suite has moved to Romano Street and will eventually become the ultimate
family home. The architect-designed home is filled with design and styling inspiration, where visitors can experience the pleasures of living in Denman Prospect while researching potential purchases.
The entrance has been transformed with gallery totems that explore the Denman Prospect offering.
Up the back, there are interactive touchscreens and a kids’ area so children can be entertained while their parents chat with the sales team.
“Eventually, the suite will be retrofitted to become a home in the future for a lucky buyer,” McDonald Crowley says.
Romano Street shows off the best of Denman North, with the Denman Village shops only a short five-minute walk away.
It also sits among the new amenities, and is surrounded by parks, ponds and pathway connections.
Currently undergoing development is Coree Park, inspired by the rolling hills
of the Brindabellas and reflective of Denman Prospect’s mountainous vistas.
Adjacent to the park will be a community garden – with 160 plots available for residents to grow their veggies – a barbecue and picnic area, and a grove of fruit trees.
There’s also a stunning sphere sculpture crafted by Canberra artist Benjamin Shine (whose clients include big names such as Vogue and Beyonce). Positioned in Denman North and titled Everchange, the green, red, orange and yellow masterpiece is inspired by Canberra streets on a brilliant autumn day.
The nearby Cravens Creek Cultural Trail is also a notable feature, acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land and their ongoing connection to it.
It features an array of garden nodes that invite walkers to stop, connect and learn about the history of the area and its cultural heritage.
Take a wander: There will eventually be nine homes built by eight builders in the lifestyle-rich Denman Prospect Display Village, including the new full-house sales suite pictured above.
HOME OF THE WEEK

A house that has you at hello
There are unassuming homes, and then there are those homes that make you feel something right from the outset.
Properties that give you a kind of jittery “butterflies” sensation because you may have just found The One.
The house at 13a Farrer Street in Braddon is one of those, thanks to its French-style front doors, perfectly pruned hedges, and surrounding mix of deciduous trees and Japanese maples. Not only is it located in one of Canberra’s most desirable addresses,
within walking distance of the best eateries this food-centric city has to offer, but its elegant, timeless appeal and incredible layout across three levels are simply jaw-dropping.
Described as a “city-edge sanctuary” behind a secure gate, it has a formal entry that leads to a garden-view living space that can be an enormous dining room or a formal living room.
Beyond this is the social heart of the home. Here, a large designer kitchen with all the bells and whistles overlooks the family room, while a perfectly

Bifold doors open to the expansive pool courtyard – a private oasis with plenty of winter sun. It is partially covered and laid with stunning sandstone slabs, making it ideal for entertaining.
The basement level is set up as a movie theatre with an enormous screen, a custom-made lounge and an underwater view into the pool.
There’s also a huge, separate multipurpose room, a wine cellar and a third bathroom.

Words by Kate Farrelly
A mezzanine space can give you extra room, functionality and views – but make sure you know what you’re doing.
It’s a lament of home owners across the country, particularly those in inner-city suburbs where space is at a premium. How can you create more floor space without adding to your property footprint or blowing the budget? A mezzanine could be the answer.
It is usually installed between the ground floor and ceiling to provide extra space within an existing space. So, what do you need to know before you add a mezzanine to your property?
Can I retrofit a mezzanine?
Baahouse and Baastudio architect Claus Ejlertsen has plenty of experience designing mezzanines for clients wanting extra space in their existing dwellings, and says there are a few questions to ask to determine what’s possible.
“If you’re doing a renovation to the existing house you need to find out what’s inside the roof cavity,” he says. “Can it be opened up and changed? Will you be creating skylights?”
If the mezzanine is just for storage, ceiling height isn’t a big issue, but you’ll need 2.4 metres to classify your mezzanine as a habitable space.
Regarding cost, while it can be difficult to put a figure on the average cost of a residential mezzanine, a steel commercial mezzanine of around 50 square metres will cost more than $30,000, says CGA Engineering managing director Colin Arkcoll.
Elevate your space
Do I need permission?
You may need to lodge a planning application to build a mezzanine.
“Most houses traditionally aren’t designed with the capacity to have another level above floor level,” Ejlertsen says. “Because essentially you’re creating more structural load, the first port of call is to have a designer or architect help you to understand what can be done. Then we need to have an engineer on board.”
The engineer will determine if the load can be transferred down the existing walls or if a new structure is required. If it is, building approval will be necessary.
You’ll also need to think about ventilation, the access point – a staircase or library-style ladder – and decide how much you want to see from downstairs. If you’re planning a bathroom or kitchenette there is more to consider.
“If you’re doing a kitchen … it has to be legal height,” Ejlertsen says.
“A bathroom doesn’t have to be the legal height but the considerations at that design stage are, Where’s all the plumbing? Where are the services?”
What are the advantages?
Building a mezzanine not only adds extra floor space to your property, it also adds architectural interest. Ejlertsen says removing the ceiling and installing skylights on an upper level can bring in more light and capture breezes or views.
Commonly used as an office space or bedroom, mezzanines can also do duty as a library, a gym, a TV room or playroom.
A mezzanine level can make a small space feel more generous and add value to your property.
“You’re essentially creating more capital gain for your home because you’re capturing more space,” Ejlertsen says. “So, it’s an investment and something a lot of people are thinking about these days. Essentially, they want to feel spacious and grand and really enjoy the home.”
What challenges are present?
Chief among the drawbacks are noise transfer and thermal comfort.
“Essentially, the mezzanine creates an open space between the upper level and
downstairs level, so you have to think about how you will control the acoustics,” Ejlertsen says. “And it can be a challenge trying to heat or cool the space.” He says the key is insulation.
“You need good insulation in the roof and in the walls, and proper acoustic insulation between the upper level and that downstairs ceiling because the last thing you want is people walking around up there and you’re downstairs in your nice lounge or dining room and you can hear footsteps like possums walking through your roof.”
Ejlertsen recommends home owners aim for seven-star energy efficiency in the design stage of the project.
“Even though it’s a small footprint you’re doing, there’s a lot of detail that goes into getting it done right,” he says.
“From the structural design to the aesthetics, how you will light up the space and get it working. So, you definitely need all the qualified trades and people to do it. It’s not something that I would recommend just for the average mum and dad.”
TRUDY PAGDEN
Don’t do it yourself: “There’s a lot of detail that goes into getting it done right,” says architect Claus Ejlertsen.
Bonus: Ronnie and Georgia included a mezzanine study in their house on The Block.
