Positioned high above the heart of Dickson, this exceptional two-storey residence delivers a lifestyle defined by sophistication, style and sweeping views stretching across the Inner North to the iconic Black Mountain. Beautifully maintained and enhanced with thoughtful upgrades, this home has been cherished by its original owners since new, a testament to its comfort, quality and design.
Step inside and immediately feel at home. The open plan living area exudes warmth and refinement, with floating timber floors adding both texture and tone. Bathed in afternoon light, the living space captures a serene, elevated outlook, a perfect setting for relaxed evenings or entertaining with friends. The adjoining kitchen is a showpiece in contemporary design, with stone benchtops, Bosch stainless steel appliances, a built-in microwave, integrated dishwasher and soft-close cabinetry that blend function with elegance.
Upstairs, the bedroom offers a private retreat with a sense of calm that's hard to find and space that is unrivalled. Here you'll find the elegant ensuite complete with designed finishes, while those who love clothes are graced with not only a built-in robe but a walk-in robe as well. The addition of a classic wainscoting feature wall brings subtle charm, while the dormer style window frames the panoramic view beautifully. Whether you're watching the sunset over Black Mountain or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this space feels both intimate and inspiring.
The apartment's thoughtful inclusions extend to ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, double-glazed windows and a powder room on the lower level for convenience. The terrace provides an inviting outdoor extension of the living space, ideal for evening drinks, dining or simply enjoying the ever-changing Canberra skyline.
Adding further appeal, this home is offered beautifully furnished, with the option for furniture to remain subject to the final sale price. This flexibility makes it a compelling choice for both live-in owners wanting to move straight in and investors seeking a turnkey property ready for short-term accommodation in a prime location.
Residents also enjoy exclusive access to premium amenities including a heated indoor pool, well-equipped gym, cinema room, and expansive outdoor BBQ and entertaining areas, all set within a secure and impeccably maintained complex.
Located in the centre of Dickson's bustling precinct, you'll find everything you need just an elevator ride away, from the iconic Dickson Dumpling House and Taphouse to boutique cafés, grocers and the Light Rail connecting you easily to the City and Gungahlin.
514/6 Cape Street is more than an apartment, it's a lifestyle. A rare combination of modern luxury, enduring quality and views that truly set it apart.
HEART & HOME: In the Owner's Words:
"The time we’ve spent in our beautiful apartment in Malabar has been simply wonderful. Waking up every morning to the stunning unrestricted views of the summit of Black Mountain and its surrounds has been the quintessential Canberra experience for us. It’s like living in a postcard. The split-level living areas are perfect for us. It’s given us dedicated space where we’ve been able to designate specific living areas in a tasteful and subtle way. We value our privacy and our apartment has always been a quiet, peaceful and undisturbed sanctuary for us. The aesthetic we’ve wanted to create is a feeling of living in an uncluttered New York loft-style apartment. Living here has been the perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment. We can just curl up with a takeaway, head out to a nearby restaurant, or bring the sunshine and fresh air streaming in from our lovely garden terrace. We’ll definitely miss the convenience of having everything so close by, a 2-minute walk to coffee houses, bars, restaurants and shops. With light rail and the Dickson bus interchange on our door step we're 10-minutes from our city offices and Canberra landmarks." - Gerry & Renee
