This sunny, north facing apartment serves up a cheerful atmosphere, spills to balcony and connects you to endless foodie and cultural experiences. Gallery white walls, timber floors and big glazing's create and oasis for living and there is the distinction of large foyer/study nook. Both the generous social space and the bedroom commune with the leafy central gardens and it is a short stroll to Haig Park and the vibrant Lonsdale hub.
The elegant modernist form of Valonia rises above leafy Lowanna Street – all clean lines with pops of vibrant orange contrasting with neutral concrete walls. We love the Yuccas and sculptural grasses that add to the Californian vibe. The complex offers immersive, landscaped gardens, communal barbecue area and a fully equipped gymnasium. There are plenty of shady spots for restorative contemplation beneath the trees, including the surrounding parklands and reserve, gifting the peace of nature, right in the heart of the city.
And the locale is perfect – the whole inner north is famed for its quaint village centres, eateries and café's, leafy streets and shady biking paths. Braddon serving up a dynamic mix of boutique retail and hospitality destinations, all within a mash of re-furbed industrial buildings and striking contemporary architectural builds. There is a vibe…relaxed café scenes, street vendors, great bakeries, yoga studios and a mix of tempting cuisines.
You are welcomed into a large foyer or study space with a European laundry seamlessly tucked away behind double doors. This versatile area lends itself to your imagination, think second living area, home library, office or mudroom. Living is arranged in an open plan, spilling to an elevated balcony that drinks in treetops and sunshine. The kitchen is oh so conversational and delivers handsome black granite worktops and lots of storage. There are quality electric appliances from Fisher & Paykel and a dishwasher from LG.
The bedroom has a built-in-robe and a big window to capture the northern light, the leafy grace of so many trees. The adjoining bathroom is generous and simply appointed, combing notes of blue-green with crisp whites. And notably the apartment has secure intercom access and basement parking with additional storage.
Lowanna Street is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including all the biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios… There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its much loved IGA and gastro pub.
