Penthouse living within a luxury hotel springs to mind, as gorgeous spaces unfold each to each, spilling to a balcony with stunning mountain views. Notes of warm timber are woven throughout the neutral scheme and warm carpets stretch underfoot. High ceilings add to the felt sense of dimension and grace, and big double glazing insulates the home from noise and climate. There really is the hush of luxury, as bespoke joinery conspires with an innovative layout to deliver on storage, ease, versatility and lots of gorgeous morning light.

Space 2 has really come of age – leafy mature trees create canopies of shade; pathways travel beneath twinkling birches and laneways read like avenues through garden wonderlands. Built in 2007, the twin Space developments were a benchmark, setting the tone for a flurry of new developments that tried to emulate their clarity of design, precision detailing and oh so generous proportions.

Architecturally significant, the build has an entry within the book “100 Canberra Houses,” by architects Tim Reeves and Alan Roberts. And it doesn’t disappoint – grand portico, panelled timber ceilings, walls of glass, a restrained white materiality and all surrounded by a gathering of Eucalypts, flowering crepe myrtles, fields of ground covers.

The foyer is all black granite with stainless steel lifts whisking you to the 7th floor. The lift doors open onto a tranquil sitting area, edged by a wall of glass framing Mt Ainslie. It is a note of welcoming elegance that heralds the awaiting lived experience within the insulated walls of no.708.

A floating timber console graces the foyer and there is a big coat cupboard for dumping tech, shoes, coats. The whole apartment championing storage, engendering a soothingly clutter free lifestyle. Light beckons you forward as glass sliders open to balcony, breezes and big sky views. From here you can look across the rooftops of old Turner, all the way to the mountain.

The kitchen is a mix of crisp white, speckled stone, fine wood grains. There is abundant storage, milky glass splashbacks and quality appliances from Smeg, including an integrated dishwasher. The timber hutch shields the sink and the open plan perfect for family togetherness, effortless entertaining.

Despite the sweeping proportions there are plenty of spots carved out for quiet aloneness, studied creativity. A small study nook is tucked away to one side; a wall of joinery performs as a home office within the second bedroom which spills to private balcony room. The master bedroom flows to a balcony, welcoming fresh air, light and landscape straight into the space. There is a beautiful timber walk-thru-robe and a chic ensuite bathroom. Both the ensuite and family bathroom are finished in an organic combo of eggshell whites, warm taupe, speckled stone and honeyed timber.

The apartment is moments from the light rail stop on Northbourne Avenue (Ipima Street) and a short stroll to Haig Park. This central local places you in-between the charming centres of O’Connor and Ainslie, moments from Braddon and the CBD. Think a life informed by history, personality, café’s, restaurants, boutique shopping experiences, restorative green spaces. It is not far to the lively New Acton Precinct and the glorious walking and biking trails that edge Lake Burley Griffin. Throw in garage parking, shared garden spaces and you have the ideal city meets village lifestyle.
