Life in the centre of the metropolis has a buzz - creative, connected, and vibrant. So you want a home to return to that feels effortless - great storage, open space, and a wonderful connection to light and nature. Enter no. 616, an elegant one-bedder that feels balanced and simple, allowing you to get on with what matters most in life. Think gathering with friends on an elevated balcony with views to Black Mountain, plating take-out from a local fav, or stepping out to enjoy Braddon by day or night… great coffee, drink, food, shopping, and community.
The Valonia building rises above Dooring Street with Art Deco grace - layered glass balconies, distinctive curves, and portal windows. Pretty gardens, well-tended lawns, and rows of stunning tree ferns deliver a mini-oasis in the middle of the inner north. There is a gymnasium and a shared barbecue area for fostering community and spending time outdoors with family and friends. And it is a leafy stroll to the Lonsdale hub, the CBD, Haig Park, and the walking trails of Mt Ainslie.
Glass sliders can be flung open to light and air, while soft neutral tones allow the gorgeous views to take centre stage. The kitchen is a timeless study in black and white and delivers great storage and quality all-electric appliances. There is a central island and a lovely open chattiness across the living and dining space, all informed by the ever-changing skyline and the mood of the city that unfolds below.
A European laundry is effortlessly tucked away within the hallway, and there are additional storage cupboards to keep things chic and minimal. The bedroom is generous with big glazing's that capture light, endless sky. There is a built-in robe for seamless storage and an adjacent bathroom.
Braddon is famous for its unique blend of cool, independent businesses housed within old industrial buildings and sleek modern builds. This mix of old and new informs a thriving, eclectic urban culture - a haven for expressive cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques. This dynamic, central locale places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, Melbourne Centre, New Acton Arts Precinct and Ainslie shops. This whole inner-north area is synonymous for an amazing array of eating, drinking, relaxing, pampering, exercising and entertaining experiences. Throw in, ample green spaces, walking and biking trails, established trees and gardens, and you have an enviable city/village mix. The home is also close to transport including the light rail and metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
