There is something special about Lowanna Street, perhaps it’s the easy street parking or the lovely elevated and leafy feel. This is a quiet pocket, belying the central urban locale and this two storey classic, semi-detached home feels almost shy behind deep lawns, leafy mature trees. There is a long driveway, expansive off-street parking bay and a double metal garage. The entry sequence is pretty in pink, with a big bay window providing a glimpse into the sun striped living area.

This gorgeous three-bedder, blesses you with a warm welcome and delivers a lovely balance of old and new. Sun graced social spaces unfold each to each while a thoughtful renovation introduces double glazing and elegant contemporary notes. We love the art deco light fittings that hang from lofty ceilings and the preserved vintage features – timber stairwell, fireplace and bakelite switches.

Golden bamboo floors flow underfoot, and walls are freshly painted, gallery white. Big windows frame the garden and welcome lots of natural light. The front living area feels intimate and cosy, while the second bigger space effortlessly combines living and dining. Here the original stone topped hearth is set with a gas fireplace, perfect for gathering around on cooler nights.

Delicately patterned tiling creates a unifying sea of soft, grey and stone worktops meet a splashback decorated with delicate glass mosaics to match. The kitchen serves up plenty of storage and quality, all electric appliances. There is a direct flow to an oh so generous laundry that reads more like a palatial room, cohesively finished in organic stone. This useful space opens directly onto the garden which is perfect for entertaining. And there is a separate toilet tucked away, so nobody nee traipse upstairs.

A wall of golden panelling graces the timber stairwell, and a high set window floods the landing with light. The master bedroom captures treetop views, delivers a wall of built-in-robes and has a RC split system to keep things temperate all year round. The second bedroom is equally as generous in size, and gazes out to Telstra Tower. There is a peaceful third bedroom and a renovated bathroom finished in soothing neutrals with a pop of midnight black. We love the mosaic tiled detailing that coheres with the dark floors and there is a relaxing bathtub.

The gardens are generous and feature citrus trees just now in full-blossom and a sheltered alfresco area with a rustic bar. Think, gathering with friends for long lunches, or cocktails in the garden before heading out to enjoy the vibrant Braddon by day or night. Think, a well-connected urban lifestyle amidst the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including all the biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie.

The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios… There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its much loved IGA and gastro pub. The CBD is whisper close and with buses and light rail at your doorstep you can ditch the car, easily exploring the whole of Canberra.
