What's around 20/40 Philip Hodgins St

THIS TICKS EVERY BOX! THE DIAMOND YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

If you’re in the market for an apartment, you’ve now found an absolute diamond! - the perfect north and north-east orientation means you are not overshadowed by any other apartment; - the perfect floor plan with two bedrooms without shared walls at separate ends of the apartment and minimal hallways; and - an amazing balcony as a second living area that has views of the green space of Coombs plus the Pond, Black Mountain Tower and the Arboretum ! Forget looking at other apartments with two bedrooms next to each other. You will be forgiven for thinking you’ve struck gold! Observatory Living consists of seven individual buildings, set around a central courtyard, established as a model to enjoy recreation and fitness. It is like no other complex in Canberra, positioned at the highest point in Wright. Acclaimed for its serenity by Award-winning Jamie Durie designing the landscaped gardens, the fortunate residents living at Observatory Living are treated to unique and enviable options such as a stunning outdoor pool with those gorgeous red tiles, BBQs, fire-pits, exercise circuit and reflection ponds - all this just a short distance to the City, Cooleman Court and Woden. The community at Observatory Living have the benefit of so many different floor plans of two bedroom apartments – but there are only 6 apartments with this floor plan available in the entire complex of 270. Rare indeed. Another unique feature to set this apartment apart from any others, the second bedroom is king-sized and the ensuite is the same size as the bathroom. There is also no need for a laundry in a cupboard – you have an entire laundry room, large enough to use as a mud-room if you wish. Can it get any better?

Very friendly and supportive

Christine provided a very personal and supportive service in purchasing the apartment that I selected. This included offering additional viewings, providing the further information I required - including those small questions and concerns which seem to arise. Always able to be contacted and was also able to be fair between in her support between the buyer and the seller.
