Welcome to 6/9 Light Street, a spacious and beautifully presented one-bedroom apartment set within a tightly held boutique complex in one of Canberra's most sought-after locations. Designed by award winning Cox Architecture and developed by BISA Property, 'Illume' is one of the best developments that has been offered to the Canberra market. Home to only 62 units, this boutique development is located close to Manuka Village and therefore at the doorstep of some of Canberra's best eateries, bars and Manuka Oval if you're a sporting fan. Kingston Shops, the Kingston Foreshore and Lake Burley Griffin are also just a short walk away, as is the Parliamentary Triangle.
Step inside and immediately feel at home. The generous open-plan living and dining area is light-filled and airy, flowing seamlessly to a balcony that captures the mid-afternoon sun, making it the ideal spot for morning coffee, a weekend read or sunset drinks. Oak timber-style flooring adds warmth and character, while neutral tones provide a versatile canvas to make the space your own.
The stunning kitchen is designed for both everyday ease and entertaining. It features Miele appliances, plenty of bench space, ample cabinetry and a functional breakfast bar that overlooks the living area, ensuring you're always connected to family or guests while you cook. The bedroom is generously sized and features wool carpets for warmth. Built-in wardrobes and large windows that capture the sunlight complete the package. The bathroom feels more like a high end hotel than your standard apartment and has a European laundry.
Additional features include reverse-cycle air conditioning for year-round comfort, secure intercom entry, a designated car space and visitor parking. The well-maintained complex is surrounded by established gardens, creating a sense of space and greenery rarely found so close to the city.
This apartment is an ideal choice for first-home buyers wanting to step into the prestigious inner south, savvy investors seeking strong rental demand, or downsizers who appreciate a low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on location or amenity.
Enjoy morning strolls to your favourite café, picnics in Telopea Park, boutique shopping in Manuka or a short commute to the Parliamentary Triangle and Barton offices this is city-fringe living at its best. Opportunities in this pocket of Griffith are tightly held and rarely last long.
