3 Avery Place

Tucked into the contours of a generous 1,529m² block at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom 1970s home celebrates Australian modernist design and a strong connection to nature. Inspired by the Sydney School of architecture, its organic tumbled brick form, split-level layout and walls of glass create a seamless relationship between the home and the surrounding no-water garden. Designed to sit naturally within its landscape, the house opens to greenery at every turn. Owned and thoughtfully refined for more than 30 years by an environmental designer, the home reflects careful stewardship and considered upgrades. The original architecture has been carefully respected while high quality materials, exceptional fittings and contemporary updates enhance comfort and everyday living. Rarely offered and carefully maintained over three decades, the home retains the integrity of its modernist design while introducing thoughtful modern improvements. Living spaces are arranged around views of the carefully designed landscape, where sculptural trees, clipped forms and layered terraces create a garden that changes with the light throughout the day. The beautifully composed garden has been designed for visual impact while remaining low maintenance. A tranquil pond introduces a subtle Japanese influence and adds to the sense of calm throughout the property. The home and garden have been shaped together over many years to create a deeply private and peaceful living environment. Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms across three levels. Soaring raked timber ceilings, strong architectural lines and natural materials give the home warmth and presence, while new joinery, a contemporary kitchen and refined bathrooms bring modern functionality. The ground floor is designed for gathering and everyday living. A generous living and dining space with slow combustion fireplace flows to the kitchen and family room, all opening onto a long wrap-around deck with built-in seating and a wisteria-covered pergola. Large glass doors create effortless indoor-outdoor living and invite the garden in. The kitchen combines crisp white cabinetry with stone surfaces and a bespoke jarrah benchtop, complemented by a mirrored splashback and quality appliances, including top of the line European integrated fridge, induction cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher. Two bedrooms sit on the second level, both connected to outdoor spaces. The main bedroom opens to a private courtyard with a sunken pond and includes a walk-in robe and ensuite. The second bedroom opens directly to the garden via glass doors and includes built-in storage and a study nook. A beautifully minimal family bathroom sits nearby. The upper-level floats among the treetops and provides two further peaceful bedrooms, both with excellent storage. Adding further flexibility is a freestanding studio with separate storage, ideal as a home office, creative studio, guest retreat or private workspace. Large glass doors open directly to the garden, creating a quiet space immersed in the surrounding landscape. There is also a double garage complete with EV charger and woodshed. Fraser sits on the north-western edge of Belconnen, known for its leafy streets, mid-century homes and direct access to nature. From the end of the cul-de-sac, a walking path leads directly to the Mt Rogers Reserve, one of Canberra's most loved hilltop reserves with sweeping views across Belconnen and beyond. Homes of this calibre are rarely offered, particularly those that retain the integrity of their original modernist design while providing contemporary comfort. features. .beautifully renovated 70s modernist house in leafy Fraser .four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two social spaces .separate studio with storage room and glass sliders onto the garden .ideally placed at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, a few steps from Mt Roger's Reserve .organic tumbled brick form .generous living combined dining area with stunning timber lined raked ceilings, wall of glass, plus sliders onto the deck .slow combustion fireplace .flow to kitchen combined dining and living with wall of glass sliders onto the deck .deck with fixed bench seating and pergola twined with wisteria .kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, stone and Jarrah worktops, mirrored splash back, Liebherr integrated fridge, Neff induction cooktop and electric oven, and Bosch dishwasher .European laundry .master bedroom on the second level, opening onto a private deck with sunken fish pond, walk-in-robe and ensuite .family bathroom with bathtub .bedroom two with glass sliders onto the garden, built-in-robe and study nook .fully fenced back yard .ducted gas heating .ducted vacuum .4 RC split systems .mostly double glazed .1.9kw solar 45c tariff .separate tumbled brick double garage with EV fast charger .large block, beautifully planted with established trees, clipped topiary, green hedges, meandering pathways and layered terraces .17kms to the CBD Fine details (all approximately) Land Size: 1528 m2 Build Size: 185m2 EER: 1 Built in: 1976 Land Value: $622,000 (2025) Rates: $3,754 p/a Land Tax: $7, 213 p/a Disclaimer: The information contained in this advertisement is derived from sources we deem reliable.
