This elegant two-bedder penthouse is arranged across two levels and connects you to a dynamic urban lifestyle while enveloping you within a cocooning sanctuary. Luxury upgrades and high quality timber joinery deliver a seamless experience, and makes this apartment feel both luxurious, natural and welcoming and also grounded by tactile, organic features. Concertina glass doors open the social hub to glorious light, summer breezes and all the lively happenings of Lonsdale Street. This way the balcony performs as another room, an effortless extension of the living space.
The minimalist concrete façade of the Palko building rises from Lonsdale in a combo of clean lines, gravity defying sculptural curves. Greenery tumbles from brutalist balconies and black steel shades. It is an arresting sight, built in response to the highly creative Braddon environment, stimulating to both mind and body. Designed by Judd Studio this boutique mixed use build finesses the concept of attention to detail, delivering an environment alive with playful shapes and natural finishes that nod to the sweeping bushland surrounds.
The foyer is illuminated by a playful lime green pendant that sets the scenefor this dynamic living space. Broad timber stairs usher upwards where the kitchen's extensive timber cabinetry continues across the living room wall, creating a fixed sideboard that floats beneath the soft grey hues of polished concrete. A picture rail creates an instant gallery for chosen artworks and pendant lighting can be dimmed to suit any mood. The open, airy vibe of the whole social space is pitched toward big blue skies, and the dynamic built landscape of the city and Mount Ainslie. With indoor/outdoor living across the entire top floor, there is the always communion with the fabulous and artisanal community of Braddon, with its array of boutique shops, restaurants, cafés and bars.
The master bedroom opens via a bank of black framed glass doors to a private balcony that takes in Telstra Tower. Think a quite evening drink, glorious sunsets. Think the lovely privacy of an ensuite bathroom and the feeling of a sequestered escape. Meanwhile the second bedroom is tucked away downstairs, enclosed by frosted glass sliders and sits adjacent to a second bathroom. Both bedrooms enjoy walls of timber built-in-robes and both bathrooms are finished with concordant pops of warm timber and shower spaces tiled to perfection in white mosaics.
Step outside and you are greeted by all the creative vitality of Braddon by day or night…great coffee, food, drinks, exercise, community. By the way, it is a few steps to the tram, and easy stroll to the CBD and you are moments from some of the best independent cafes, bakeries, yoga studios, boutiques, bars and restaurants that Canberra has to offer. Throw in a surrounding of tranquil green spaces and you have the best of urban living, with a restful dollop of country peace.
