131/81 Constitution Avenue

Black slate floors evoke the stone of garden paths, timber joinery nods to the craft traditions of Japan, and papered walls welcome the movement of rolling waves, undulating mountains. Inspired by Hoshinoya Hotel in Tokyo, the home feels richly layered, sensory, and calm. Dark plum and midnight black engender a visual depth, giving way to soaring glazings, luminous light, magical drift to private gardens. Designed by Capezio and Copeland Architects, this four-bedroom townhouse is arrayed across three levels and nods to the traditional Ryokan. There is a fusion of zen restraint and contemporary luxury, creating a fascinating dialogue across culture and time. Entry is via a traditional Genkan threshold, stairwells are illuminated by soft LED lighting, and timber sliders gesture to Japanese screens. There is a self-containment to both upper levels- a blend of social, intimate, and bathroom spaces- so you can live together and apart in harmony. The home occupies a sublime position within the Iskia Complex, sitting at the apex of the city, old Campbell, and the Lake. Garden gates open into both front and rear courtyards, while a private double garage provides ample secure parking and internal access. Once inside, you can store away shoes and coats and escape to another realm- barefoot, moody, timeless and nourishing. Elements of light and dark combine in a continual dance- black mosaic tiled walls, soft lighting, luminous skylights, stained glass portal, lustrous midnight kitchen. There is also a feast of texture and pattern- finely grained timber, loosely woven drapery, marbled stone, ribboned glass. The front living area opens to the north and a private terrace that gives way to communal gardens. Here the collision of old and new embodies the spirit of the entire home - vintage pencil pines cohabitating with striking concrete garden walls, Japanese maples, age-old eucalyptus trees. The kitchen is all contemporary simplicity with seamless cabinetry, mirrored splash back, and high-end appliances. Bespoke timber joinery distinguishes the second living or meals area, and the generous laundry delivers a wall of timber shelving. The southern or fourth bedroom has a walk-in-robe and there is ready access to the rear courtyard - soaring timber batons, pink flowering camellias. The bathroom is simply appointed in sensuous matte black with minimalist white fixtures including a sculptural pedestal basin. Upstairs is given over to a master bedroom that floats you within the northern landscape. The linear ensuite bathroom culminates in a generous walk-in-robe, and the adjacent study is suspended within the drama of the void. A duo of additional bedrooms sit privately together and speak of flexible living. Think second bedroom or TV snug adjoining a third bedroom with built-in cabinetry and the surprise of an ensuite bathroom finished in a mosaic of eggshell white. This stunning townhouse sits across from Rsl Park and Mount Pleasant Nature Reserve, while fronting the shared biking and walking trails that hug Lake Burley Griffin. There is so much at your doorstep from the dynamic new East Traders Hall to the modern elegance of The Lanterne Rooms. There are plenty of great cafés nearby for morning coffee and great places to meet friends for drinks with local favs including Paranormal and The Pedlar. The Athletic Club is at your doorstep, and the home is moments from Anzac Parade, the War Memorial, and the CBD. features. .stunning four-bedroom townhouse within the elegant Iskia development .seeded within the vibrant Campbell 5 precinct .inspired by Hoshinoya Hotel, Tokyo .Capezio Copland Architects .sumptuous textural materiality .bespoke timber joinery and panelling .arrayed across 3 levels .foyer or Genkan threshold with fixed cabinetry and under-stair storage Ground floor - .kitchen combined living or meals .kitchen with seamless cabinetry, boiling water tap, double ovens, cooktop from V-Zug, Qasair Rangehood .north-facing living combined dining opening to courtyard overlooking landscaped common gardens .large laundry with wall of timber shelving, Miele Industrial washing machine and dryer .separate bathroom .4th bedroom with walk-in-robe. .access to rear courtyard and gated access to and from the complex Top floor - .north-facing master with wall of glass, voluminous sheer drapery .walk-through-ensuite and walk-in-robe .study suspended within the dramatic void .2nd bedroom or TV room .3rd bedroom with walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom .under-slab heating .ducted RC .2-car garage with epoxy floors, shelving and shoe storage, remote auto door and internal access .visitor parking .private gym for residents. .shared landscaped gardens FINE DETAILS (all approximate): Ground floor Living size: 92 m2 (approx.)
