This spacious top floor one bedroom apartment on the quiet, eastern side of the Astin Apartments has unimpeded and sweeping views from Mount Majura in the north-east to the Canberra city skyline in the south-east. Mount Ainslie sits in the neat frame of sliding doors opening onto the spacious balcony from both the living room and from the separate bedroom.
The Astin is just one block from Haig Park and the start of the Lonsdale Street precinct with its cafes, restaurants, bars, boutique shopping and day and night-time buzz. The Ipima Street light rail station and Lime bikes and scooters are on the doorstep. Travel by light rail one stop to Eloeura Street to explore the delights of Lonsdale Street or two stops to Alinga Street for the City and the Canberra Centre. All the convenience of proximity but without the noise or being overlooked, typical issues for many a Northbourne Ave or Lonsdale Street address.
The apartment has a contemporary, open plan interior with reverse-cycle air-conditioning. The separate bedroom has the same expansive views as the main living area. The well-planned kitchen optimises the use of space to include double sink, pantry, built in microwave, dishwasher and electric cooktop, oven and exhaust fan. There is plenty of storage outside the kitchen too, including a large built-in floor to ceiling storage unit and a walk-in robe in the bedroom.
The bathroom is practical and generous including a large shower with "no sill" entry, a showerhead which can be fixed or hand-held and a European style laundry with its own extraction fan.
The car space is located on the prized level entry floor of the secure basement carpark with a lock up storage unit immediately behind and easy access to the lifts.
