An efortless and sophisticated lifestyle
This fows into a dining zone and a statement kitchen that is defned by striking Carrara bianco marble benchtops, lightly hued timber cabinetry, Asko appliances and a sleek integrated fridge-freezer.
Drawing the eye in the main living space is a stunning bluestone mantel freplace framed by dramatic doubleheight windows.
This architectural void bathes the townhouse in abundant natural light, while automated louvres and an integrated Sonos sound system ensure the environment is always tailored to your mood.
The seamless indoor-outdoor transition leads to an impressive al fresco entertaining area.
Here, a timber-lined ceiling punctuated by dual skylights shelters a fully equipped outdoor kitchen.
From there, a paved path meanders through low-maintenance gardens toward a secluded front courtyard, where a jacuzzi is ready to relax and unwind.
Upstairs, the second level is dedicated to a luxurious main-bedroom suite, featuring its own en suite and a spacious
walk-in wardrobe with custom joinery.
A standout design element of this luxurious retreat is the striking glass wall that overlooks the void into the downstairs living room, maintaining the home’s incredible sense of light and connection to the outdoors.
“This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly standout property in one of the premier locations in Campbell,” Pearson says.

O’Connor fows from the heights of Bruce Ridge down to Northbourne Avenue, capturing everything that is special about this town, from the bush to the city.
Established in 1928, the suburb has pockets of history scattered among its tree-lined streets, including the heritagelisted Tocumwals, built to house the US Army during World War II and later transported to Canberra in the 1950s.
Now the suburb is an eclectic mix of old and new. Large blocks ofer the opportunity to rebuild, established homes are ready to live in, and townhouse developments provide some exclusivity.
The shopping centre has a supermarket, hair salon, late-night pharmacy and a choice of medical practitioners.
Whether you’re grabbing a drink or a bite, The Duxton’s outdoor seating ofers a front-row seat to the local buzz. Or grab Vietnamese at Tu Do, fsh and chips at Flatheads or some pierogi and live music at the Polish White Eagle Club.
Agent Andrew White of Belle Property Canberra says this strong community feel adds to the suburb’s appeal.
“We’re seeing a mix of professional couples, young families and downsizers wanting to stay in the Inner North because of this,” he says.
RECENT SALES
“O’Connor continues to be one of the Inner North’s most tightly held suburbs. Demand remains strong thanks to its proximity to the city and ANU, combined with leafy streets, generous block sizes and a genuine village feel.”
The suburb’s educational landscape ranges from St Joseph’s Primary and the community-focused Cooperative School to the support of Black Mountain School for high school students with disabilities.
On the weekends, you’ll fnd people playing at the tennis courts, mountain biking on the ridge, picnicking in the wetlands or letting their doggos run free at the enclosed dog park.
Above and far right: The suburb has a mix of houses, offering plenty of options for potential buyers. Above right: Leafy streets are complemented by the green spaces here.

My local
Kopiku at the O’Connor shops is the standout for cofee. It’s a small, understated spot, but the cofee is consistently excellent, and it’s become a bit of a daily ritual for locals. You’ll almost always see a steady stream of regulars stopping in each morning.
The Duxton is probably the suburb’s go-to. It strikes a great balance between relaxed pub and quality dining, with a fantastic wine list and a great courtyard. It’s the sort of place locals use for everything from a quick midweek dinner to long Sunday lunches.
Urban Jungle is a beautifully curated plant and gift store and has saved me many times, whether to grab a card, candle or fowers for an open home inspection or to purchase fowers for my beautiful wife on the way home.

“Elevated to capture Brindabella views, this rare Hughes residence pairs high-end fnishes with fexible family living and superb entertaining, all in one of Canberra’s most desired suburbs.”
Recent architectural homes aren’t the frst thing that springs to mind when you think of Hughes. But 49 Kitchener Street makes a strong case for why they should be.
Completed in 2024 and set high above Woden with views stretching to the Brindabellas, the home hits all the elevated notes, from its commanding position to its impressive inclusions and thoughtfully zoned design.
In the living spaces, natural light pours through foor-to-ceiling double glazing,
illuminating engineered timber foors and crisp, contemporary fnishes. The kitchen is as substantial as it is beautiful, with a large butler’s pantry. Stone fows across benchtops and splashbacks, alongside premium appliances and 50-bottle wine storage.
An eye-catching gas freplace anchors the adjoining living and dining space. It all extends seamlessly outside to a covered al fresco area complete with a built-in barbecue and outdoor kitchen. Next to it, a 5.9-metre dual-zone swim
spa ofers a relaxing spot for a dip, no matter the season.
The accommodation is segregated at the front of the house. The mainbedroom suite, with a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite, enjoys Brindabella views, while three more bedrooms sit nearby.
Downstairs, a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment could be used for extended family, as potential rental income, or just for an endless stream of guests keen for a dip in the swim spa.

Should I engage a buyer’s advocate?
Buyer’s advocates can provide guidance and save you time when purchasing property, though their services can be costly.
Buyer’s advocates, as their title suggests, help you fnd and purchase property. They’re licensed professionals who provide property market expertise and guidance, working with you to understand your needs and doing the grunt work of fnding and vetting properties.
They can also provide insights into of-market sales, negotiate with vendors, or bid at auction on your behalf. However, they generally aren’t cheap, either charging a fat fee upfront or a percentage of the purchase price. So, is hiring a buyer’s advocate worth it? We’ve outlined some considerations.
I’m looking to buy something interstate
A local buyer’s advocate can view properties for you, vet them, and thoroughly brief you before you invest in travel.
While it’s generally not recommended to buy property sight unseen, if that’s your only option, a buyer’s advocate could be vital in removing the risk of not having seen a property yourself.
The downside could be that, much like the properties you can’t visit, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to meet your buyer’s advocate in person, so it may be harder to build a relationship and communicate your needs with them.
I’m looking for an investment property
If you’re looking for a hands-of approach, a buyer’s advocate can help sift through the market and ofer insight into where and what constitutes a sound investment, aligned with market trends.
Buyer’s advocates can also have access to of-market listings, so they may be able to bring you a broader pool of unique investment opportunities. They can also manage inspections, negotiations and the sale process.
I’m a frst-home buyer looking to buy something under $1 million
A buyer’s advocate can be useful for providing guidance and demystifying many of the complexities. They generally know what to look for in property quality and in contract negotiations. They can also negotiate
sales and may be able to save you money on the purchase price.
However, their fees can be expensive, and as a frsthome buyer, this might not be appropriate for you. Purchase cost savings are not a guarantee when you work with a buyer’s advocate, so there is always a risk that you won’t recover the cost.
I’m an upsizer with a budget of over $2 million
If you already have a large budget, you may feel that the cost of a buyer’s advocate is worth it to save you time.
If you’re looking at buying a “forever” or long-term home, the cost might stack up over the years you plan to live in the property, if the buyer’s advocate helps you fnd the perfect place or negotiates a good deal.
Ultimately, your circumstances will play the biggest part in whether or not you choose to hire a buyer’s advocate. There are pros and cons in every scenario, so it’s ultimately up to you to decide if the cost versus convenience equation adds up.
