A stunning designer residence in Strathnairn has shattered the suburb’s price record, selling for $1.765 million and reinforcing Ginninderry’s position as one of Canberra’s most sought-after communities for discerning families.

The six-bedroom home at 34 Asimus Avenue has set a new benchmark for Strathnairn, surpassing the previous suburb record of $1.65 million set in 2022. The sale attracted exceptional interest, with 93 groups viewing the property throughout the campaign.

Lauryn Rettie of Marq Property, who managed the sale, said the result highlighted strong buyer demand for high-quality family homes in the Ginninderry region.

“Buyer interest was strong throughout the campaign,” Rettie said. “People were drawn to the home’s quality, family-friendly design, and its prime position on the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor.”

Designed by Canberra-based Studio56 Building Design, the residence showcases what’s possible when architectural sophistication meets practical family living. With 444 square metres of living space on a 761-square-metre block, the home offers rare scale in a thoughtfully designed package.

Built in 2024, the property features a striking monochromatic palette, soaring ceilings, polished terrazzo concrete floors, premium stonework, and bespoke joinery throughout. These architectural credentials create a home that’s both beautiful and highly functional for modern family life.

The record-breaking sale reflects the exceptional opportunities available for families choosing Ginninderry. The home’s position on the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor particularly appealed to buyers seeking that rare combination of architectural quality and connection to nature.

Whilst Strathnairn’s median house price has remained stable at $925,000 over the past 12 months, this sale demonstrates the premium buyers are willing to pay for exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and prime positioning within the community.
