36/40 Torrens Street
Braddon$690,000 +

This airy three-bedroom apartment floats you above Torrens Street, drifts to balconies on two sides providing gentle cross breeze and welcomes sunlight deep into the plan. There is something so welcoming about Braddon Gardens…the quaint terracotta rooftops, the solid build, arched windows and Art Deco detailing. Who would know you are moments from the bustling Lonsdale Street and right on the very edge of the city, the whole apartment graced by a quiet leafy immersion.

Perfectly placed on an oak lined street, the home is moments from the pine dotted Haig Park, minutes to old Ainslie and an easy stroll into the heart of the city. And it is just moments to the creative energy of Braddon, it’s dynamic mix of old and new and exciting choice of unique retail, eating and drinking experiences. This old school multi-res has a lovely European flair with its broad internal courtyard, pathways that meander beneath the trees, and the children’s playground edged by clipped hedges.

Housed on the first floor and with pretty elevated views, the apartment delivers open plan living that spills to a broad balcony, perfect for entertaining. More intimate moments can be enjoyed within the sheltered outdoor space that gazes across the internal courtyard to the gardens beyond. We love the way this easy-care abode looks both ways and manages to feel open to nature, while remaining deeply private.

Walls are freshly painted soft white and there are new soft carpets to all the bedrooms. Large format ceramic tiling makes the social spaces easy-care and there is a nice conversational spirit to the kitchen. Here cabinetry is painted soft avocado green and there are lovely, rounded timber handles. This is a generous space with room to move and create, packed with storage, including a large pantry.

Sleeping is informed by nature, with bedside glimpses of trees that change their colours throughout the seasons. The master bedroom with a big arched window, welcoming sunlight and fresh air. There is a walk-thru-robe and direct access to the two-way bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms, both generous in size with big windows and excellent storage. The bathroom is big, finished in a splash of concordant avocado green and serving up a relaxing corner bathtub, a large vanity and a laundry, neatly tucked away in the corner.

This popular locale connects you to some of the best independent cafes, bakeries, yoga studios, boutiques, bars and restaurants that Canberra has to offer. Throw in a surrounding of tranquil green spaces, including Haig Park and Mt Ainslie Reserve and you have the best of urban living, with a restful dollop of country peace. Close to transport including light rail, providing fast links to all of Canberra, the home is also just a stone’s throw from the ANU, New Acton and the CBD.
