The property sits on a 1,296 m² block. It is a standalone house occupying the entire parcel.
The Whitley House, a modernist residence built in 1939, is heritage‑listed and sits at that corner. It is recognised as one of the first government‑designed single‑storey houses in the Functionalist style in Australia.
Braddon’s streets are lined with mature exotic species such as cedar, ash, oak and pine, with eucalypts also planted around the suburb’s perimeter and in Haig Park. These plantings give the area a distinctive garden‑city feel.
The site rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. These limestone‑derived rocks gave the Canberra district its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
The Mercure Hotel Canberra is about 0.2 km away, a short walk from the property.
The Ainslie Arts Centre is approximately 0.4 km away, and the Gorman Arts Centre is about 0.5 km from the house. Both locations host galleries, theatres and community arts activities.
Rugby League Park and Northbourne Oval are each roughly 0.6 km from the home, offering open space for recreation. Smaller green areas such as Corroboree Park (≈0.7 km) and Reid Park (≈0.8 km) are also nearby.
