Most one-bedroom apartments in Braddon force you to choose between space and location. This 70 m² apartment, with an additional 20 m² covered terrace, gives you both. It has generous proportions inside Braddon's ORI building, a dedicated study, a bedroom that takes a king-size bed, and an unexpectedly quiet retreat right on Canberra's premier lifestyle strip.
Clever Layout & Expansive Living
The design maximises the main living zones while keeping the bedroom a distinct, private retreat. That suits the eastern orientation. The central lounge and dining area is unusually wide for a one-bedroom floorplan. It easily takes a full-size dining table, a large lounge setting and a buffet, with room to move around all three. Floor-to-ceiling glass lets in gentle morning warmth as the sun spills across the terrace and through the living area.
A Terrace Built for Entertaining
At 20 m² and 7.6 metres long, the covered terrace works as a genuine outdoor room rather than a ledge for a pot plant. Set up an outdoor dining table at one end and a lounge corner at the other. Host Friday drinks, a long Sunday breakfast, or a dinner that drifts outside. It opens directly from the living area, so the whole apartment works as one entertaining space.
Thoughtful Design for Privacy, Work & Comfort
King-Size Bedroom: The bedroom is tucked away by design. It comfortably fits a king-size bed with room left for bedside tables and built-in robes. A bifold highlight window brings in light and fresh air without direct sun or street noise, so the room sleeps well year-round.
Dedicated Home Office: A separate study near the entry, with built-in storage, keeps work organised and off your dining table.
Island Kitchen: A long stone island bench with breakfast bar, wall oven, dishwasher and ample storage.
Full Bathroom & Laundry: A full bathtub, separate shower, European laundry and an 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
The ORI building was constructed by BLOC Constructions and developed by Syzygy, and is one of Braddon's most recognisable addresses. Finding a park on this street is notoriously difficult, so your own underground space is a major asset. The apartment includes an adaptable-design accessible basement car space. It is an extra-wide bay that is easy to drive in and out of. A secure storage cage and basement visitor parking complete the package.
Canberra's best coffee, dining, bars and boutique retail are downstairs. The City Centre, Canberra Centre and the Elouera Street light rail stop are a short stroll away.
