This light filled two bedder places you on the top floor of the Pasadena complex. Big windows welcome a bounty of natural light, and a private balcony floats you amidst the horizon. Mid century design meets a laid back airy joy, as solid double brick, warm timber and a wonderful connection to nature create a home with genuine character.
The airy stairwell sets the scene as brass meets raw brick, terrazzo and ceramics, all in natural tones that evoke stone and golden sand. Pasadena has just now been touched up, with fresh paint applied to the timber highlights in Dulux Paua Shell. Think a celebration of Californian modernism, a beautiful step back in time, much loved and carefully tended. Each building is signified by its own colour scheme, with pops of bright teal and terracotta red echoing the endless dunes and big skies of the desert.
Thoughtfully updated, the apartment balances the old with the new, delivering a fresh white kitchen that glints in the sunlight. The living is arranged in a generous open plan. The dining area has a clever nook for storage and display, and the lounge is graced by large windows on two sides. Think afternoon light, soft breezes, views of the surrounding mountains and an easy drift to the balcony, where visiting birds align on the branches of an age old tree.
The master bedroom features a floor to ceiling window and serves up a generous mirrored robe. The bathroom sits central and features delicate mosaic borders paired with sandy tiled floors. A large window allows the northern light to flood in. Light tumbles into the second bedroom from both the north and east, framing Mt Majura. There are well tended shared gardens and the convenience of a communal laundry and bike shed. There is a lovely sense of openness throughout, with the building and gardens feeling connected to the leafy surrounds.
There is the tree lined street, parkland just across the way and the easy proximity to the bustling Watson shops. Watson is a vibrant inner north suburb with great community vibes, and the home is ideally placed across from parkland and a few steps from Watson shops and primary school. Enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola.
This is easy care living, well connected and surrounded by the relaxed atmosphere of an established suburb. You can hear the kids at play across the way at the local primary school, and there are a myriad of public green spaces and walking trails to explore. Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is just a stone’s throw from the Braddon and Dickson precincts, Ainslie shops, ANU and the CBD. The home is also convenient to a mix of private and public schools and close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the city and the whole of Canberra.
