This beautiful one-bedder delivers on space, natural connection and soulful grace. A deep terrace extends out from it’s private outdoor area, so you can bask in the warming northern sunshine. There is a welcoming kitchen that is openly conversational across the dining and living area, perfect for daily life and entertaining. You can retreat or connect in style, cooking up a storm, plating take-out or enjoying shared drinks before you head out on the town.

Braddon Gardens, extends a graceful, open-air invitation, that feels just right. No stuffy lifts, no narrow corridors, all are swapped for warm brick paving, the quiet meander of garden paths, the pleasure of a big shared patio where you can park your pushbike. We love the European feel, the architectural flourishes and terracotta capped rooftops. There is a tranquility and seclusion at play, a relief from the hustle and bustle…the apartment seeded within the famous Braddon hub, with its hybrid mix of old and new, tantalising array of food and drink, independent shopping and creative community.

Expanses of freshly painted walls let you express yourself freely with curated photography, posters, art. New carpet coalesces with soft ceramic tiling and new light fittings create an ambient glow. The scheme is soothing, totally in-sync with the original timber joinery and timber handles that warm the kitchen. Cleverly, a simple return extends the working space, delivering a relaxed spot for friends to gather while you cook.

The bedroom also gazes to the north and serves-up a big, built-in-robe for effortless storage. The bathroom is roomy with an integrated laundry and relaxing corner bathtub. Here crisp white tiling combines with delicate borders, warm white paintwork and earthy ceramic floors.

The outdoor terrace informs the whole home with light, has the feel of an additional room with its high garden walls and delivers a cosy feel of enclosure. A gate allows you to step into the common gardens and enjoy a natural tranquility beneath the age-old trees.

This gentle apartment is an easy stroll to the independent eateries, shops and bars of the buzzing Braddon precinct. Surrounded by green spaces including Haig Park and Mt Ainslie Reserve, the home is also handy to Dickson and the popular Ainslie shops. Close to transport including light rail, providing fast links to all of Canberra, the home is a stone’s throw from the ANU, New Acton and the CBD.
