A flawless, architecturally-designed home in a tightly held Canberra suburb combining the best of modern sustainability and timeless luxury is attracting keen buyer interest ahead of its auction this month.
The three bedroom, three bathroom residence at 90 Finniss Crescent, Narrabundah has been described by listing agent Louise Harget from Belle Property Canberra as quite unlike anything she has sold before.
“I like the clever way that all the little details come together,” she said.

“It looks a lot in the photos, but in real life, it's really subtle and it's really calming.
“There's really nice light because of the internal courtyard and those huge windows…it all just opens up so it feels like you're outside when you are not, which is really nice.
“But it could be cosy in our horrible Canberra winters, but over the next few months, having it all opened up is gorgeous.”

The newly built home was designed by architect Rob Henry of Studio Heim, and was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2024 MBA Excellence Awards.
Solid recycled Blackbutt timber floors and bespoke joinery, all sourced and finished with Canberra's Thors Hammer are extensively used throughout, coupled with solid brass fittings, custom glass and ceramic feature lighting.
“The owners are quite clever, because the tile selection, the timber, it would have been wild watching that go from that concept into the actual building - it all comes together really well,” Ms Harget said.

Triple insulation, double-glazed windows, high ceilings, are among the home’s sustainable inclusions, and the roof has provision for a 12.7kW solar bank with battery connection, plus three-phase power for an electric vehicle charger.
Ms Harget said strong buyer interest has come from young families, with many commenting that the spaces feel cosy for a family.
“Finniss Crescent is one of Narrabundah’s top streets in terms of prestige, and also its right at the top of the suburb, and it has a beautiful north east aspect down the hill so you do get gorgeous views,” she said.

"There's a lot happening in terms of knockdown rebuilds in this particular street.
“So there are lots of properties that have been undergoing a significant reno or rebuild, so it's a valuable area, and I think it's only just starting to gain momentum.”
The home is set for auction on September 27, with price hopes of “north of $3 million,” Ms Harget said.
