39 Finniss Crescent, Narrabundah, ACT 2604

Architecturally designed and built by Ric Butt of Strine Environments in 1999, 39 Finniss Crescent is a home with a clear identity. Designed around Strine's environmentally sustainable and distinctly Australian ethos, its north-facing, solar-passive design, precast concrete construction and considered use of thermal mass, natural light and cross ventilation create a home that feels as relevant today as it did when it was first built.

There is character everywhere you look. A grand entry and staircase introduce the home, while generous glazing, internal clerestory windows and carefully framed garden outlooks from every room bring natural light deep into both levels. The living spaces all open directly onto the rear deck and established native gardens, creating a strong connection between inside and out.

The kitchen has been refreshed with new stone benchtops, Bosch gas cooktop and sink, while the separate lounge and formal dining rooms provide genuine versatility. A full-sized laundry with external access to the service yard and a powder room complete the lower floor. Upstairs, the home's thoughtful layout continues with four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying outlooks across the surrounding gardens. The main bedroom is privately positioned with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while built-in robes provide practical storage to the additional bedrooms. A central main bathroom with bathtub services the remaining bedrooms. An additional study or sitting area provides additional living space at the top of the stairs. Internal clerestory windows draw natural light through the upper level, reinforcing the home's sense of openness and connection to its garden setting.

The outside spaces are every bit as considered. Established native planting and Canberra sandstone retaining walls surround the home. The ornamental grapevine-covered rear pergola and mature trees provide beautiful natural shade through summer and a spectacular display in autumn, before losing their leaves to welcome the winter sun. The garden environment changes with the seasons, attracts native birds and feels intrinsically connected to the architecture.
