27 Mccaughey Street

Turner ACT 2612

The architecturally designed addition is finished in matt-black vertical cladding and glass. It is the exacting difference that creates and energetic synergy between the two. As you step through from the kitchen, you enter a dramatic open living area with high celebratory ceilings and a glorious wall of glazing that collects the light and sky. Glass sliders open to a deck privatised by green walls and an oversized timber framed door provides entry to the garden. A kitchenette is quietly housed in one corner, allowing the new space, with its direct street access on two sides, to be utilised as a separate abode as required. The addition also houses two bedrooms that edge a central bathroom.

The home is seeded in a suburban bliss meet's city edge interplay. Think walking across tree dotted parkland to Braddon, perhaps a morning coffee and a bully beef toasty from Barrio. Or catch up with friends at the RUC for drinks and barefoot bowls. There is Flatheads for fab fish and chips and streetside eating and live music at the nearby Duxton. Braddon, Dickson, Ainslie, New Acton and the CBD are all at hand, extending a cornucopia of unique restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping experiences. The home is also close to private and public schools, and transport, including the light rail, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
