Set within the Orion complex in Coombs, this east-facing two-bedroom apartment captures a beautiful outlook across Holdens Creek, surrounding greenery and towards Black Mountain Tower. Bright, practical and low-maintenance, with 86m2 of internal living, a 14m2 balcony, two bathrooms and basement car accommodation, 30/170 John Gorton Drive presents an excellent opportunity for first-home buyers, downsizers or investors seeking lifestyle, convenience and long-term appeal in the Molonglo Valley.
Apartment 30 enjoys a prized easterly aspect, welcoming soft morning light into the home while framing sweeping views from the living area, balcony and bedrooms. The outlook is the true highlight here, offering a peaceful & private sense of openness rarely found in apartment living. Whether you are starting the day with a coffee, entertaining guests or winding down in the afternoon, the balcony provides the perfect place to take in the greenery, the creek corridor and the iconic silhouette of Black Mountain Tower.
Inside, the apartment has been designed with functionality and comfort in mind. The generous open-plan living and dining area forms the centre of the home, with large sliding doors connecting directly to the balcony and drawing natural light throughout the apartment. This seamless indoor-outdoor connection enhances the sense of space and makes the most of the elevated outlook.
The kitchen is neatly positioned to the side of the main living space, offering a sense of separation while remaining connected to the dining and lounge areas. With stone benchtops, quality appliances, good storage and a practical island bench, it is well suited to both everyday use and relaxed entertaining.
The floorplan offers excellent separation between the two bedrooms, making it ideal for segregated living, visiting guests or those wanting additional privacy. The main bedroom is generously sized and features a walk-in robe, while the second bedroom includes a built-in robe and is positioned away from the main bedroom.
Year-round comfort is ensured with reverse-cycle heating and cooling through a split system, double-glazed windows and a beautiful easterly orientation. A basement car space and storage cage provide added convenience, while the European-style laundry is a clever inclusion that maximises usable space within the apartment.
Whether you are looking to move in or invest, 30/170 John Gorton Drive delivers a bright east-facing apartment with a functional layout, stunning views and a highly convenient position within the Orion complex.
