No. 24 occupies the best position within this coveted boutique complex- private corner, one adjoining neighbour, and lots of light from three open sides. Big windows frame leafy views at every turn, and warming northern light tumbles in via glass sliders straight into the living area. Top-floor living serves up quite the elevated outlook, creating a home that feels both open to the landscape and deeply private.

This classic two-bedder sits within shady grounds on a quiet street within Canberra’s vibrant inner north. The Pines has a wonderful nostalgia, a gentle otherworldly tranquility. Mid-century characteristics abound as neat double-brick units nestle within the native landscape. Within a warm materiality mingles with fresh open-plan living, spilling to a serene and elevated balcony. It is a quiet sanctuary despite the fab city credentials, think a dynamic choice of eating, drinking, and shopping experiences right at your doorstep.

There is a lovely organic modernist appeal to the double brick form with its honeyed brick, tiled rooftop, timber-framed windows, and doors. The natural vibe is continued within as warm exposed brick feature walls coalesce with timber joinery and creamy white walls. Quality new wool carpet stretches underfoot, big windows frame the eucalyptus, the endless sky, and cellular blinds keep things thermally temperate all year round.

One imagines a life of ease, think relaxed conversations across the open kitchen, dining, and living area. Imagine daily rituals informed by natural light and the rhythms of nature. Picture entertaining with friends, sharing drinks inside or out, plating favourite take-out in chill style, or creating elaborate meals from scratch within the welcoming kitchen.

There are two inviting bedrooms that speak to the regal shapes of the old-growth trees that surround the home. Both rooms have excellent built-in storage and sit close to a family bathroom with a seamless European laundry. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious with charming tiled floors and a small tub beneath the shower.

The central locale of this coveted inner north suburb gifts an exciting urban lifestyle, connecting you to the independent eateries and bars of O’Connor shops, and the Braddon and Dickson precincts. It is a scenic walk to Lyneham shops and the iconic Tilley’s for long brunches and the occasional live jazz on Saturday evenings and The Front for great coffee. The light rail is at your doorstep, whisking you easily to the CBD and the Metro City station connecting you to the whole of Canberra. Ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, wetlands, and established street trees create a tranquil village experience in the heart of the metropolis.
