1 — 47 National Circuit has been curated to evoke a sense of timeless elegance and liveable luxury, with an expansive footprint, seamless indoor–outdoor flow, and a focus on natural light, materiality, and craftsmanship.

Inherent in the Residence is a timelessness that stems from the architects Mathieson profound respect for materiality. Through considered restraint, the Residence spaces are at once simple and raw, with steel, brick, concrete and light combining to deliver a warm and inviting family home. The home reflects a disciplined European sensibility — understated, considered, and resolved through material honesty rather than embellishment.

Conceived for discerning buyers seeking the amenity of a substantial luxury home without the maintenance or compromise of high-density living, the Residence adopts a low- rise, dual-level design that prioritises space, privacy, and longevity.

Interiors are generous and calm, defined by 4.4-metre ceilings, a prized north–north-east orientation, and expansive glazing that draws light deep into the home while preserving acoustic and thermal comfort. The spatial planning delivers the ease of single-level living where desired, supported by a commercial-grade lift for long-term accessibility.

The result is a residence that offers the confidence of impeccable design, the discretion required by high-profile occupants, and the ease sought by those downsizing without concession. A home of quiet authority, suited to both local and international buyers seeking permanence, privacy, and architectural clarity.

This exceptional residence offers a rare combination of architectural integrity, privacy, and refined liveability within one of Canberra’s most tightly held blue-chip addresses. Positioned along the distinguished curve of National Circuit, characterised by the Oak canopy within the heart of Forrest, the home enjoys immediate proximity to power, to the Parliamentary Triangle, Manuka Village, and Kingston Foreshore, while remaining quietly removed from the pace of a modern city.

Design Philosophy

Conceived in response to the growing demand for luxury without compromise, the Residence offers the spatial comfort of a freestanding home within a secure, low-maintenance, low-rise environment. Designed for discerning downsizers, professionals, diplomats, and established homeowners, the architecture adopts a dual-level typology, delivering generous proportions, privacy, and human-scale living.

Curated by Mathieson Architects, the Residence is grounded in a deep respect for materiality and restraint. Steel, brick, concrete, and glass are expressed honestly, resulting in spaces that feel at once raw and refined, minimalist yet warm — a home of timeless European character rather than trend-driven design.

Kitchen & Entertaining

The kitchen is a statement of both function and craftsmanship. Anchored by a 5-metre stainless steel island, it features a full Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite, Chilly Billy boiling, chilled and sparkling water system, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry incorporating a commercial hot plate, custom rangehood, with a cool room and extensive larder storage on the lower level that further elevate the offering. This is a space designed to perform at the highest level, whether for intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining.

Interiors

The home unfolds across expansive living and entertaining zones, defined by soaring 4.4-metre ceilings, celestial highlight windows, and a north–north-east orientation capturing natural light and views toward the Parliament House flag. Seamless indoor–outdoor integration reinforces a sense of openness, while commercial-grade double glazing ensures year-round comfort and acoustic privacy.

Finishes are uncompromising: Pandomo cementitious polymer flooring, Italian veneer joinery, stainless steel detailing, architectural steel architraves, and curated lighting throughout. Every element reflects precision, durability, and enduring elegance.

A Schindler commercial-grade lift connects all levels, reinforcing accessibility and long-term liveability.

Accommodation

The master suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a winter garden and green wall, a five-metre walk-in robe with bespoke joinery, and a luxurious ensuite finished in single-piece Italian stone slab cladding. A dedicated climate system, hydronic heating, concealed cisterns, and integrated grooming power points elevate everyday comfort.

Bedrooms two and three each enjoy private ensuites, walk-in robes, and terrace access, ensuring exceptional privacy for family or guests.

A highly versatile fourth bedroom or multi-purpose suite offers flexibility as a gym, guest accommodation, nanny’s quarters, or secondary living zone, complete with kitchenette, private garage access, and ensuite.

A dedicated study/library with integrated joinery and concealed Murphy bed further enhances adaptability.

Outdoor Living

Outdoor spaces are curated with the same architectural intent as the interiors. An expansive entertaining terrace features integrated Sonos audio, an imported Italian pizza oven, wood-fired hearth, and a resort-style swimming pool finished in Italian glass mosaic tiles. Landscaped gardens, automated irrigation, and panoramic district views create a refined yet effortless outdoor environment.
