The open-plan living hub and the master bedroom open to a deep balcony, so you can step outside and float within the treetops. There is a room here for a table set for plenty, think long lunches in the sun with friends and the dreamy feeling of being a world away from the hustle and bustle. Yet this roomy two-bedder places you centre stage - moments from the foodie, cultural and shopping scenes of the Lonsdale hub and an easy-breezy stroll to the CBD.
Coolac Place is a pretty cul-de-sac, just a few steps from Braddon Supermarket and Ijong St Playground, whisper close to the action of the city. It is a nice walk to the iconic village centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Braddon, moments from the pine-tree-dotted Haig Park and the endless bushland trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve.
Lokrum Gardens is a boutique and coveted multi-res nestled within well-tended mature gardens. The form combines Art Deco elegance with a nod to the vintage homes of the area - pops of red brick and peaked facades that mimic the rooflines of Braddon's historic cottages. No. 12 occupies the second and top floor and enjoys a lovely elevated privacy and a felt sense of leafy seclusion.
With a continuous neutral scheme, the apartment gifts a cohesive serenity with warm carpeting to keep it cosy. Lots of natural light reaches deep into the open plan and glass sliders can be flung open to fresh breezes and birdsong. The kitchen is big and welcoming with ample cabinetry, smooth stone worktops, and all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher. And there is a lovely conversational openness across the combined dining and living area fostering easy communion.
The master bedroom is distinguished by open connection to nature and northern sunlight. It delivers a spacious walk-through-robe and a generous ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is privately placed at the southern end of the apartment and welcomes natural light via a big window. There is an adjacent family bathroom with a bathtub and both bathrooms are simply appointed, with floor-to-ceiling tiling and earthy floors.
It is a lovely walk along tree-lined streets and through Haig Park to Lonsdale Street, famous for its eclectic range of restaurants, cafés, unique boutiques, fantastic coffee, and thriving bars. This dynamic central locale also places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, New Acton and Dickson precincts, O'Connor and Ainslie shops. This whole inner-north area is synonymous with 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.
