Overview

A Rare and Hidden Gem

Set among the leafy surrounds of arguably Canberra's prettiest street, this fully renovated unique two-bedroom split-level apartment offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely found in the Inner South. Positioned within Kingston's highly sought-after 'Pinoak Place' complex, this spacious residence will appeal equally to an astute investor or an owner-occupier looking for something truly special. Step inside this architecturally designed apartment and you are immediately struck by its character and sense of space. Built with double brick construction, the home stays naturally cool in summer and warm in winter. With windows on both sides of the apartment and the addition of skylights, the interior is filled with an abundance of natural light throughout the day. A highly desirable and rarely offered feature is the separation of living spaces. The lower level includes distinct living and dining areas, creating a practical and comfortable layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms both include built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom features its own ensuite and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the beautiful Pin Oak trees outside. These deciduous trees provide welcome shade in summer, warmth from the sun in winter, and spectacular colour through autumn. The main bathroom also enjoys natural light from a skylight and incorporates a convenient European laundry. Outdoor living is another highlight, with three balconies to enjoy. The largest overlooks Howitt Street and offers a perfect setting for a morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine while soaking in the leafy surroundings. Completing the home is a secure single lock-up garage located downstairs, offering both convenience and peace of mind. The location is exceptional, just minutes' walk to Kingston Shops, Kingston Foreshore, Lake Burley Griffin and the Parliamentary Triangle, placing some of Canberra's best dining, recreation and employment hubs right at your doorstep. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this fabulous home in thriving Kingston.
