11 Tudor Place

Hughes ACT 2605

Resting quietly at the high apex of a sleepy cul-de-sac, barely visible from the road, this three-bedroom home has the feel of a country estate, as a long driveway ushers to carport and separate studio/office. Timber steppers welcome across the deep swell of lawn, edged and crowded by sweet violets. The house sits low, with a classic flat roofline, broad tin fascia and double walls dressed in brown Bowral brick.

Within, Australian blackwood floors are lovely underfoot, stretching to meet crisp white walls, as soaring ceilings, exposed cedar beams please the soul. A double sided open fireplace nicely delineates living and dining, the whole arena merging to glass sunroom. Exposed brick, timber shelving and panelling add the sensual delight, the distinct seductive mid-century styling.

Large windows welcome light and aspect, the dining space further warmed by a wall of panelled timber. There is a nice flow through to the original kitchen with its banks of white cabinetry and sweet, curved breakfast table, set beneath the window. The adjacent laundry opens onto the north-facing textured concrete patio, shaded by a pergola twined with grape vines. Glass sliders open fully back into the sunroom, a warming nook, laid with earthy terracotta tiles.

An elegant hallway invites to the intimate wing, where three bedrooms capture the leafy garden views. The master bedroom is distinguished by twin bedside tables created by the same maker, with handles mirroring the sideboard in the foyer. From here you can take-in the deep privacy of the front garden, the peaceful composition of the trees. The additional two bedrooms feature open wall-hung shelving for display of books and treasured objects and both have large glazing's that prioritise the landscape.

The family bathroom and separate toilet are both finished in a sea of mosaic tiling, creating a soothing textural finish in the softest eggshell blue. There is a bathtub, walled shower enclave and linear glass shelving resting on chrome brackets.

Steps usher down to the studio/rumpus room, with glass doors that open to the front. This generous room has the convenience of an ensuite bathroom, creating a flexible space, fit for creating, studying, working from home or ideal as teen retreat, sequestered guest accommodation.

Hughes is a quiet, hidden pocket, ideally positioned close to the bustling Woden precinct, minutes from Canberra hospital and Deakin. The home is close to Federal Golf Course and surrounded by Red Hill Nature Reserve. Curtin shops are close to hand with local favs including Two Blind Mice and Redbrick Coffee. The home is also close to transport, a variety of schools and amenable to all the wonderful restaurants and shops within the boutique suburbs of the inner south.
