Perfectly located on one of Canberra's prettiest tree-lined established streets, this spacious and somewhat unique two-bedroom apartment will suit an investor looking to capitalise on the local rental market or an owner occupier who wants to live and enjoy the Kingston lifestyle. Old Kingston has long been a popular spot for people to live due to its proximity to the Parliamentary Triangle, the fabulous restaurants, bars and supermarket at your doorstep, and a plethora of parks, open spaces and lakeside facilities to exercise and unwind.
'Percival Court' is well known for its alpine originated architecture and rock-solid construction (built and designed in the early 90's). The block has a long history of active owner occupiers and has recently had extensive cosmetic work completed on the façade to rejuvenate the development and the replacement of the formerly timber balustrades with metal will ensure maintenance is kept to a minimum over the future decades.
The layout of this apartment is highly appealing. It has two balconies (14m2 and 7m2), two separate bedrooms, a separate toilet, two meals areas and floor to ceiling windows on both sides. Having exposures to both the East and West, this double exposure means the property is flooded with all day sun, has cross-ventilation in Summer and the spacious 84m2 of internal living feels very spacious. In addition, Percival Court is one of only a few established Kingston complexes that have individual lock-up garages along with several visitor parking bays.
