A stunning architectural residence in the Canberra suburb of Lyons has hit the market, setting a new benchmark for bespoke family living in the capital. The property at 28 Port Arthur Street is a contemporary masterpiece that draws distinct inspiration from Japanese design principles, creating a serene and highly functional sanctuary.
A Symphony of Clean Lines and Natural Light
Designed by the renowned firm Cox Architecture, the home presents an elegant facade characterised by clean angles, natural stone, wooden slats, and meticulously manicured gardens. The property's intelligent U-shaped layout wraps around a central, north-facing courtyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
This orientation floods the interior with natural light across more than 250 square metres of living space. The floor plan is both beautiful and practical, featuring shiplap feature walls, glass louvres, and a calming palette of warm whites that establish a relaxed ambience throughout.
Luxury Finishes and Family-Centric Spaces
The heart of the home is an open-plan living area that flows effortlessly onto the sunny courtyard. It is anchored by a high-end kitchen equipped with Caesarstone benches, Smeg appliances, and a butler's pantry, making it a chef's delight.
The private wing hosts a hotel-style main bedroom complete with a luxurious en suite and a lavish walk-in wardrobe. On the opposite side of the residence, a dedicated wing contains three additional bedrooms, the main bathroom, and a generously sized laundry.
Outdoors, the central courtyard spills out onto a pristine lawn and features a built-in fire pit, perfect for year-round entertaining and family gatherings.
Unbeatable Lyons Lifestyle Location
Nestled in the heart of Woden Valley, the property boasts an exceptionally convenient location. It is within a 10-minute walk to Woden Plaza and just a short stroll to the Lyons local shops, primary school, and neighbourhood parks.
Key amenities are easily accessible, with the Canberra Hospital only a 5-minute drive away. The inner south is approximately 10 minutes by car, and the Canberra CBD can be reached in around 15 minutes.
Listing agent Dan McAlpine of Belle Property Canberra describes the home as "a masterpiece of modern family living." He highlights its unique architectural pedigree, functional design, and premium finishes as features that truly set it apart in the current market. The property was listed for sale in late December 2025.
