3 Rawson Street, Deakin, ACT 2600

Designed by popular Canberra architect Paul Tilse as his own home and having had only one owner since, this incredible single-level modernist-style residence captivates with a calm undercurrent that's enhanced by serene gardens.

Ultra practical being a level home with no steps - its u-shaped layout provides the most glorious garden outlooks from every room, starting with the wide entry hall. A peaceful lounge room to the front has full height sliding door access to a private courtyard dotted with vibrant Japanese maples and layers of beautiful garden greenery.

The airy formal dining room flows to a covered alfresco terrace that drinks in the lush landscaped at the rear where more maples and manicured azalea hedges ring an immaculate emerald lawn. The high-end kitchen, casual meals and family room also open out to this space through banks of oversized custom glass sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between the interiors and the outdoors.

In keeping with the modernist style, bespoke cabinetry is a high-end highlight throughout; from the floating credenza in the sitting room to the clever entertainment unit-come-library in the family room that conceals the television when required.

There is also feature storage in the master bedroom, one among the list of many other luxuries in this space that includes the wraparound floor-to-ceiling glass perfectly framing the gardens, a sophisticated ensuite, and a walk-in wardrobe with an artfully placed skylight ushering in floods of light.

If you can bear to leave this stunning sanctuary, the dynamic Deakin shops and gym are just a 10-minute walk away, as are Red Hill bushwalking trails and the Deakin medical precinct. Grammar schools are close by, as is the Parliamentary Triangle and it's just a short ride to Lake Burley Griffin.
