Most one-bedroom apartments in Braddon force you to choose between space and location. This exceptional 70m² residence with an additional 20m² covered balcony gives you both: generous house-sized proportions inside Braddon's iconic 'ORI' building, a dedicated study, and an unexpectedly quiet retreat right on Canberra's premier lifestyle strip.
Clever Layout & Expansive Living
The apartment's clever design maximises your primary living zones while creating a distinct, private bedroom retreat-an ideal layout for its eastern orientation. The central lounge and dining domain offers rare width for a one-bedroom floorplan, easily accommodating a full-size dining table, large lounge setting, and buffet with room to move around them effortlessly. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws in gentle morning warmth as the sun spills across the balcony and through the living area, allowing beautiful natural light to fill the home and setting the scene for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Thoughtful Design for Privacy, Work & Comfort
Maximum Bedroom Privacy: Tucked away by design, the bedroom offers complete privacy while still enjoying great natural light. A bifold highlight window draws in ambient natural light and fresh air without letting in direct sunlight or unwanted noise, creating a peaceful space that sleeps well year-round.
Dedicated Home Office: Positioned near the entry, a separate study with built-in storage keeps work organised and off your dining table.
Chef's Island Kitchen: Features a long stone island bench with a breakfast bar, equipped with a wall oven, dishwasher, and ample storage.
Full Bathroom & Laundry: Includes a full bathtub, separate shower, European laundry, and additional storage cupboard.
Turn-Key Presentation: Freshly painted throughout with brand-new plush carpet, ready for immediate owner-occupation or investment.
Building, Hassle-Free Parking & Location
Constructed by BLOC Constructions and developed by Syzygy, the 'ORI' building is one of Braddon's most recognisable addresses. On a street where finding a park is notoriously difficult, having your own dedicated underground space is a major asset. The apartment includes an adaptable-design accessible basement car space, giving you an extra-wide bay that is ultra-easy to drive in and out of-with no worry of cars parked beside you . A secure storage cage and lots of basement visitor parking ensure your guests can also park underground with ease.
Step outside to Canberra's finest coffee, dining, bars, and boutique retail downstairs, with the City Centre, Canberra Centre, and Elouera Street light rail stop just a short stroll away.
