Overview

secluded retreat

One imagines long days spent outside enjoying the generosity of alfresco space, the protective high garden walls. Think long lunches in the sunshine and an easy back and forth from inside to out. This spacious four-bedroom townhouse is arrayed across two levels, spills to a private courtyard and delivers a peaceful feeling of remove. Think homecoming after busy days, garden paths that wander beneath the trees and the privacy of only one adjoining neighbour. There is the welcome of easy-care timber vinyl floors and a broad hallway set with storage, including open shelves for loved objects. The two social spaces are nicely delineated while still engendering a convivial and open feel. Both the living area and open plan kitchen combined dining open via glass doors to sunshine and fresh air. The kitchen is chatty with a long peninsula for gathering, lots of storage and quality appliances, including a dishwasher. And there is the convenience of a downstairs laundry and separate powder room which is ideal for daily life and entertaining. The master bedroom is sequestered on the ground floor and serves up a wall of mirrored storage and the privacy of an ensuite bathroom. Upstairs is given over to three peaceful bedrooms all with built-in-robes and big windows that welcome natural light. The family bathroom is generous and serves up a relaxing spa bath. And we love the portal window that sits high above the stairwell, delivering a lovely halo of light. Underpinning it all is the lifestyle - great coffee, expressive independent shopping, fabulous food, drinks, exercise and community beckon. It is a short stroll to Haig Park, the Lonsdale hub and the CBD. To the east Mt Ainslie invites with its endless bushland trails and there is the delight of the fabulous Ainslie Village Shops. The Dickson Precinct is at hand, there is a choice of great schools and the home is handy to transport including the light rail and the Metro City Station connecting you to the whole of Canberra. features. .beautifully renovated and spacious, four-bedroom townhouse in central Braddon .situated within the leafy Palmero development .tranquil garden entryway .end position with only one adjoining neighbour .front porch .combo of easy-care vinyl timber floors and soft carpet .broad hallway with built-in-storage and shelves .sequestered ground floor master bedroom with built-in-robe and ensuite .up and down honeycomb blinds to master .living area with French doors opening to the rear courtyard .airy open plan kitchen combined dining space spilling to the generous courtyard .contemporary kitchen with stone worktops and banks of storage, Asko electric oven and gas hob, range and dishwasher from Dishlex .generous paved courtyard with privatising high walls and gate access to the common gardens .downstairs internal laundry and separate powder room .three generous bedrooms upstairs, all with built-in-robes .big family bathroom with relaxing spa bath .RC ducted heating and cooling .alarm system .double garage with internal access .a short stroll to the Braddon Precinct and the CBD .not far from the much loved Ainslie shops and the walking and biking trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve .close to transport including the light rail, ANU and Lake Burley Griffin FINE DETAILS (all approximate): Living size: 142 m2 (approx.)
