No. 8 Turner Place in Yarralumla goes to auction on Saturday, August 29.
This contemporary Yarralumla residence is turning heads for all the right reasons.
The handiwork of acclaimed Canberra architect Paul Tilse, the five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence at 8 Turner Place, near the iconic Lake Burley Griffin, has drawn considerable interest ahead of this weekend’s auction.

“Paul Tilse has a bit of a cult following,” said Steve Lowe, from Agent Team Belconnen.
Gorgeous design.
“We have found that people are interested in his homes and come to have a look at another design because they just love and appreciate his work. It’s not overstated, its actually quite restrained but functional at the same time.”
Set in the sought-after suburb of Yarralumla, the property combines the warmth of timber cabinetry and flooring with natural light to create a stunning and functional home.
It was built last year.
Constructed last year, the floorplan offers 301sqm of living space, including an 11m bank of stacker doors that open out to the backyard entertaining area and solar-heated swimming pool.
“One of the best drawcards is the north-facing living, so the orientation makes really good use of the size of the block. It’s 600sqm but it feels much bigger than that, and the north-facing living spaces are the ideal orientation for winter with the sun streaming in,” Mr Lowe said.
Open plan living.
“From the kitchen space you can monitor all the surrounds from that one central location, so you can watch the kids playing on the swings or kicking a ball in the yard, or the adults having a few beers outside or a swim in the pool. You’re always connected with the family.”
The kitchen, which features a butler’s pantry and an all-in-one zip tap with boiling, chilled and sparkling water, was crowned the Kitchen of the Year in the 2019 Master Builders’ Association Awards.

As well as interior design by Vanessa Hawes, additional features include an Escea fireplace, double-glazed windows, a security system with three Google cameras and motion sensors inside the home, motorised blinds and a laundry chute from the top floor.
Heating and cooling has smartphone application and is zoned to each room, while the yard irrigation is connected to Wi-Fi with a predictive weather control.
The property will go to auction on Saturday August 29 at 4pm and is expected to fetch more than $2.6 million.
