It starts innocently. You head downstairs for a decent coffee. Then the lake is right there, sparkling, so you take a quick wander. One loop turns into two. There's a pastry involved. Somewhere along the way you bump into an old friend, and suddenly neither of you is in any hurry.
So, are you heading back up, or are you going the whole way round the lake? It's a decision you'll get to make most mornings here on Kingston Foreshore, one of the best addresses in Canberra's Inner South. Life's good.
Room to breathe
When you do make it home, there's 118 sqm inside to come back to, plus a 23 sqm wraparound terrace looking out over Lake Burley Griffin, with Mt Ainslie off to the right. Open-plan living and dining runs along a wall of glass and opens straight onto the terrace, so long lunches and evening drinks spill outside without any effort.
A finish that feels effortless
Apartments in Aurora rarely come up for sale, and once you're inside it's easy to see why. Wide oak boards, industrial-style track lighting and clean, considered lines give it a calm, high-end feel that never feels fussy.
A kitchen for slow Sunday cooking
The Miele appliances are integrated into the cabinetry, so the whole kitchen reads as one smooth line. A sizeable chunk of Carrara marble with waterfall edges gives you somewhere to lean, chat and pour a glass while dinner comes together, and a stainless steel back bench and pantry keep everything at hand.
Storage, sorted
A wall of floor-to-ceiling integrated cupboards runs the full length of the living area. Coats, linen, the vacuum, the wine collection: it all disappears behind flush doors. Add the pantry, the bedroom robes and a lock-up storage cage in the basement, and you have house-sized storage without house-sized upkeep.
Rest, work, repeat
The main bedroom has built-in robes, its own ensuite and lake views from the terrace door. The second bedroom has a walk-in robe and sits beside the main bathroom. A dedicated study has a full-width built-in desk, floating shelves and soft LED lighting, so work stays in its own space and the dining table stays for dining. The laundry is a separate room with a stainless bench, an inset sink and a Miele washer.
Your neighbourhood, at your door
Cafés, restaurants and shops are literally downstairs. Brunch on the Foreshore, Sunday at the Old Bus Depot Markets, a show at the Glassworks, and Manuka and Kingston shops are minutes away. You won't need the car much.
