Tucked into one of Narrabundah Heights’ most desirable streets, this architect-designed 1960s home is the real deal – full of charm, beautifully private, and sitting on one of the largest blocks you’ll find in the area. With signature RJ Luker design, the home celebrates mid-century modern style: exposed timber beams, walls clad in paneling and beautiful stone work, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a sun-soaked open-plan living space that spills onto a massive 50sqm north-facing deck.
Perfect northerly aspect sees the winter sun streaming into the house while remaining protected from the summer heat. The sleek galley kitchen has ample storage and direct access to the entertaining deck. For those who love to cook there is a Miele induction cooktop and the new Smeg steam oven is a baker’s dream. The three generous bedrooms have ample natural light and views to the garden. All have generous built-in robes.
The two room studio space has two sets of French doors which frame peaceful garden vistas. It’s perfect for working from home but could be used as a separate living space, a workshop or teenage retreat. The second room, with large sliding doors opening onto the garden, is currently used as a gym but could also be a guest bedroom or even an artist’s studio.
But it’s the block that truly sets this home apart – a rare slice of land with lush native and exotic established plants. The crabapple allee stretches back and across the garden, providing dappled summer shade and a spectacular spring blossom display. Sprawling paths lead to shady alcoves and hidden places to rest in the greenery. Espaliered fruit trees and vegetable beds are productive for the urban farmer while the three ponds provide habitat for fish, frogs and dragonflies. A mix of native and exotic plants have been chosen for interest and colour throughout the seasons. Flowering and fruiting plants attract native birds including gang-gang cockatoos and king parrots as well as spotted pardalotes and eastern spine bills. Deciduous trees provide cooling shade in summer and allow the winter sun to stream through. It’s private, peaceful, and a true sanctuary.
