There is a welcoming Tuscan vibe to the rendered form, with its pops of earthy clay and russet red. A big gum tree castes dappled shade across the front lawn and there is an edging of pretty plantings, cascading jasmine. A terracotta tiled walkway ushers to a deep, sheltered front patio, while a slender balcony runs the length of the front living area. Think, glass sliders opening on two sides, embracing outdoor living and the ever-changing leafy scenes of the natural surrounds.

This tranquil three-bedder occupies a wonderful north facing position, directly across from Haig Park. There is a tucked away feel, the apartment housed on the ground floor, shy behind high garden gate, clipped hedges and opening to lovely communal gardens at the rear. Yet the locale serves up ready access to a cornucopia of eating, drinking and shopping experiences. Shared walking and bike paths provide a leafy journey to the buzzing scenes of O’Connor, Braddon and New Acton, gifting a coveted village experience seeded within an exciting urban lifestyle.

Living and dining is arranged in a big open plan, with the kitchen nicely arrayed in the back corner. Striking black granite worktops meet crisp white mosaic tiling and there is plenty of storage space within the white cabinetry. A long peninsula provides a relaxed gathering spot, and the open conversational vibe is perfect for entertaining…imagine an easy merge to outdoors, a seamless alfresco life.

The master bedroom has a walk-in-robe and an elegant ensuite bathroom. A big window frames the Japanese maples and the agapanthus that dot the gardens beyond. The second bedroom also overlooks the pretty shared gardens and has a walk-in-robe. There is a family bathroom close to hand, with a very generous shower space. Both bathrooms are finished in simple white, with bright floors that evoke the endless blue of the Canberra skies.

The third bedroom is tucked away at the front of the apartment, also has excellent storage and opens via glass sliders onto the front patio and courtyard garden. This lovely sun filled room would also make an ideal office, taking care of working from home. Throw in direct access to the peaceful community garden, an internal laundry and two secure parking spaces and you have a tranquil haven right on the edge of the CBD.

Catch up with friends, dining in your own private oasis or stroll to the RUC for drinks or barefoot bowls. Meander through leafy parkland to the fabulous O’Connor shops with local favs including – Flatheads for fish and chips and The Duxton for streetside eating and live music. Stroll to the Braddon precinct, with its myriads of unique restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping experiences. The home is also close to private and public schools, transport including light rail and the new metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra and a short walk to ANU.
