This beautiful, top floor, three-bedroom apartment sits within the leafy Kingston Terrace complex, ideally positioned, close to the Kingston and Manuka Precincts, and an easy stroll to Lake Burly Griffin. The luscious, green gardens and inground pool arena, are a feature of this character filled, 90's complex. Arranged in an open plan with a span of full height glazing, the home is drenched in light and flows to deep balcony, offering a wonderful view to tree canopies and an easy alfresco lifestyle.
A shining example of Canberra's iconic, quality complexes, Kingston Terrace, is an enduring classic that has become more interesting with time. Standing out from the boxy blandness of so many modern developments, the complex is both individual and welcoming. Set within a private garden, there is a felt experience of sanctuary - dappled shade, meandering paths, lush lawns, kid friendly, communal amenities - and a restful, homely atmosphere.
A natural harmony characterises the interior of number 59, the toned-down palette feels fresh and welcoming. The focal point of the living, dining, kitchen is the expansive, glazed sliding doors, to balcony, creating a wonderful light, airy living experience. The elevated aspect and seamless inside out flow, extends the apartment and provides a fabulous outlook to expansive sky and the ever changing and wonderful presence of tree life. The balcony is a sanctuary for bird watching, peaceful repose and equally, an ideal arena for celebration, connection - think, long summer evenings, dinner parties with family and friends, a table set for plenty.
The master bedroom is generous with views to greenery, built-in-robe and ensuite. The second and third bedroom are both good sized and have a generous amount of built-in-storage and centre around a family bathroom with tub. There is also a separate laundry and single space, garage parking. It is worth noting that the quality, double brick construction of this complex, lends the home, excellent thermal/sound insulating properties.
