Positioned on the fringe of Canberra's City, this delightful one-bedroom townhouse-style apartment offers a rare combination of space, privacy and connection to nature, all just moments the best Braddon has to offer.
From the outset, the home makes a strong first impression with a generously sized front garden framed by established hedges, creating a tucked-away, leafy sanctuary ideal for outdoor dining or relaxed entertaining. A welcoming undercover front courtyard provides the perfect entrance to step into a quiet, inner-city retreat.
Internally, the home opens into a spacious living and dining area, designed for comfortable day-to-day living. The long, well-appointed kitchen offers excellent storage and bench space, making it both functional and easy to use. The bedroom is well-proportioned and positioned to enjoy soft morning sun through the lush greenery, complemented by an ensuite bathroom and laundry for effortless living.
To the rear, a second courtyard extends the home even further. Generous in size and bordered by lush gardens and mature trees, it offers a peaceful and secluded private oasis. The addition of a garden shed, and a spacious storage room provides valuable extra storage, a rare find for apartment living.
In the words of the owner: As a young couple, we cherish our memories enjoying the sight of colourful birds among the trees while working from home. We loved the flexibility of dining and entertaining both indoors and outdoors and growing herbs and plants in two courtyards. The location is immensely walkable we'd regularly walk down to Lonsdale Street for a morning coffee or dessert after dinner and enjoy a picnic at the Haig Park Village Markets down the road. Plus, we were only ever a 5-minute bike ride from Civic, ANU, Ainslie and the Dickson shops without having to worry about parking.
Set in a quiet pocket of Braddon while remaining incredibly well connected, the location offers effortless access to the city. The light rail stop is just a one-minute walk away and dedicated bike paths quickly take you into the heart of the city and to ANU. There is also plenty of free parking on offer outside, an unmatched convenience for an apartment in this location.
A local park with BBQs and a playground sits next to the complex, providing an ideal extension of the outdoor lifestyle. Cafés, dining, parks and the CBD are all within easy reach, yet the home remains peacefully tucked away from the hustle.
A unique opportunity to secure an apartment that truly offers indoor-outdoor living, a nature-filled sanctuary and lifestyle in one of Canberra's most sought-after suburbs.
