It’s a different style of landmark but still one of the most recognisable.buildings on the south Canberra skyline. The Macedonian Orthodox Community Church in Narrabundah, dedicated to St Kliment of Ohrid and opened in 1988, was designed by Macedonian Australian, Vlase Nikoleski.
Check out our listing on Goyder Street, Narrabundah – the same street as the church.

6. 405/165 Northbourne Avenue, Turner

That’s the beauty of Canberra – simultaneously living in the heart of the city and staring out at beautiful native bushland.

7. 15 Young Street, Barton

Located in the very heart of Barton, there aren’t many Canberra landmarks this five-bedroom home isn’t close to. It’s minutes from Parliament House, Lake Burley Griffin and the Kingston Foreshore, but there’s one iconic building located quite literally in the backyard.
The Brassey Hotel, completed in 1927 by the Federal Capital Commission in an ‘American Colonial Revival’ style, borders this listing, offering an historic and rare view out the back window every day.
The 75-room Brassey Hotel received a $6 million facelift, complete with an international standard day spa and gymnasium, in 2016 by new owners Doma Group.
