72 Arthur Circle, Forrest, ACT 2603

In a suburb where blocks of this size seldom come to market, 72 Arthur Circle offers a rare chance to shape the next chapter of a landmark Forrest address. The block spans 1,624m² opposite parkland, with a wide frontage, a northerly orientation and views to Telstra Tower and Mt Pleasant. It's the kind of foundation that makes an exceptional future home possible.

Whether your vision is a considered renovation, an architectural extension or a complete knockdown and rebuild, this landholding gives you room to create something special in one of Canberra's most prestigious pockets.

Renovate, Extend or Rebuild

The existing four-bedroom home is solid and generously proportioned, with good bones that suit a range of approaches. Buyers can move straight in and enjoy the home as it stands while they plan their next move. Alternatively, they can renovate and modernise the interiors to create a refined family residence. With such generous land around the home, there's also ample scope to extend and add living space, a pavilion or a second level to capture the views.

For those with a bigger vision, the block offers the space and orientation to design and build a new prestige residence from the ground up. A northerly aspect, wide frontage and elevated outlook give an architect an outstanding brief. There's room for expansive living, landscaped gardens, a pool and generous garaging, all subject to the relevant approvals.

The Existing Residence

The current home is light-filled and comfortable, with formal living and dining rooms overlooking established gardens and a separate sunroom. The timber kitchen opens to a family room and outdoor deck, and the home is served by ducted gas heating and air conditioning to the main living areas. The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe, an additional built-in robe and bathroom access, shared with the fourth bedroom. The remaining bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes, and a family bathroom with a full-sized bath completes the home. Extensive under-house storage and two separate driveways add further flexibility.
