Some homes simply exist, while others shape the way you live every day. This is a home designed for connection, where space, comfort, and light come together to create a setting that feels both welcoming and effortless for family life.
Set within the prestigious Corroboree Park precinct, 1 Hargraves Crescent occupies a place within one of Canberra's earliest and most thoughtfully planned residential landscapes. Conceived in the late 1920s, this part of Ainslie reflects an enduring approach to neighbourhood design, where homes are set amongst established greenery, streets follow gentle curves, and a sense of openness and balance is felt at every turn.
That planning philosophy continues to define the experience of living here. There is a quiet rhythm to the tree lined streets, a softness to the landscape, generous parks and greenery, yet walking distance to Civic, Braddon and ANU. It is this combination of intention and maturity that gives the area its lasting appeal.
Beyond its charming façade, framed by a pathway of iconic Canberra Reds and softened by lavender and magnolia, the home reveals a seamless blend of character and contemporary design.
The original residence has been thoughtfully refreshed, where high ceilings, natural light and timeless proportions create an immediate sense of warmth. Three generous bedrooms sit within this portion of the home, each with built in robes and vintage French doors opening to the surrounding deck, offering an easy connection to the outdoors. A central bathroom and separate study provide flexibility for growing families or those working from home.
As you move through the home, the space opens beautifully into a stunning rear extension. Here, everyday living takes centre stage, with a large modern open plan design that brings together the kitchen, dining and living areas in one cohesive space, all overlooking the backyard and outdoor entertaining.
The kitchen is modern and refined, enhanced by clever custom cabinetry that provides extensive storage while maintaining a clean, considered aesthetic. This thoughtful joinery continues through the living space, creating a sense of cohesion and making day to day living feel effortless. Whether it is busy mornings, relaxed evenings or hosting friends, this is a space designed to bring people together.
Privately positioned at the rear, the master suite offers a quiet retreat, complete with a walk in robe and spacious ensuite.
Set on over 1000sqm, the outdoor spaces are just as impressive. The front garden is beautifully composed, while the rear unfolds into a series of decks, a level lawn and established greenery, creating multiple areas to relax, entertain and enjoy. A charming cubby house completes a backyard that feels made for family living.
Importantly, the home sits within a recognised heritage precinct, a designation that ensures the architectural character, spacing and landscape qualities of the area are carefully preserved. For buyers, this offers a rare level of certainty, protecting not only the visual integrity of the streetscape, but also the sense of space and amenity that define living here.
This is a home that offers space to grow, room to gather and a setting that will be appreciated for years to come.
