Few apartments manage to combine breathtaking views, exceptional natural light, generous proportions and genuine versatility quite like this beautifully renovated fourth-floor residence.
Positioned on the north-east corner of the building, this outstanding home enjoys windows wrapping around the apartment, flooding every room with natural light while showcasing some of Canberra's most spectacular outlooks. From almost every window you'll enjoy panoramic views stretching across Black Mountain, the National Arboretum, Holden's Creek Pond, Mount Stromlo and even all the way to Parliament House. It's a view that's constantly changing with the seasons, yet one you'll never tire of.
Recently transformed from top to bottom, the apartment has been completely repainted throughout and features brand new laminate timber flooring through the living areas along with plush new carpet in both bedrooms. The result is a home that feels fresh, modern and completely move-in ready, allowing you to simply unpack and start enjoying everything it has to offer.
The expansive open plan living and dining area makes the most of its enviable corner position, with natural light streaming in from multiple directions and uninterrupted views providing an incredible backdrop to everyday living. Whether you're relaxing after work or entertaining family and friends, it's a space that feels open, welcoming and connected to the beautiful landscape beyond.
Step outside and you'll discover one of the apartment's true showpieces. The enormous 33m² balcony offers the sort of outdoor living rarely found in apartment complexes. There's ample room for a full outdoor dining setting, a comfortable lounge area and even space to create your own balcony garden, all while taking in the stunning panoramic views. From your morning coffee watching the sunrise to entertaining long into the evening, this is an outdoor space you'll use every chance you get.
The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to balance style and practicality, featuring quality AEG appliances including an oven, cooktop and rangehood, generous bench space, excellent storage and a dual bowl sink. Overlooking the living and dining areas, it allows the cook to remain part of the conversation while enjoying those same incredible views.
The intelligently designed floorplan provides outstanding flexibility. The bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from one another, each enjoying their own bathroom access, making the apartment equally suited to couples, young families, professional sharers or first home buyers looking to rent out one bedroom to help pay down the mortgage.
Adding even more versatility is the dedicated study with closing doors, creating a genuine work-from-home office that's separate from the living spaces and ideal for today's flexible lifestyles.
Practicality continues throughout with features rarely found in apartment living, including a full-sized separate laundry room, two side-by-side secure basement car spaces and two individual storage cages positioned conveniently behind each car space.
As impressive as the apartment itself is, the lifestyle beyond your front door is equally compelling. Enjoy morning walks around Holden's Creek Pond, weekends exploring the world-class trails of Stromlo Forest Park or coffee at one of the growing selection of nearby cafés. Denman Village, Cooleman Court and the Canberra CBD are all within easy reach, while local parks, schools and public transport complete the picture.
Beautifully renovated, flooded with natural light and offering spectacular views from virtually every room, this is a home that truly stands apart. Combining generous indoor and outdoor living with a remarkably flexible floorplan and an unbeatable outlook, it's an apartment you'll be proud to call home for many years to come.
