This spacious one-bedroom apartment sits quietly among the trees, offering a sense of calm, privacy and ease. Designed with generous proportions and accessibility in mind, the home features wide, comfortable living spaces and a large, wheelchair-accessible bathroom, making everyday living feel effortless. Yet the home is oh so connected – moments from the Braddon hub, a short stroll to the foodie offerings of O’Connor Village and a leisurely walk to the CBD. Deep verges, mature oaks, neat residential buildings, and tidy gardens set the scene. While within, a simple elegance and a winning indoor/outdoor vibe creates a haven from the nearby hustle and bustle.

This gorgeous apartment occupies the first floor of the popular VUE development. The building is a minimal modern affair, with mixed glazing’s punctuating the smooth rendered walls. Hedges soften and privatise, and avenues of trees dot the frontage. Access is via a broad, partially sheltered walkway and the internal foyer is airy with big glass doors that welcome light and also gift direct access to the lush communal gardens beyond.

Located on VUE North, the generous, light filled kitchen, dining and living feels open to the world. Banks of glass sliders can be flung open, extending the social arena to include the deep balcony. From here you can hang with friends or dine in leafy privacy, the balcony reading like and outdoor room, partially enclosed and by a clever rolled screen. Light penetrates from the north and west, illuminating the balcony and the big bedroom and filling the kitchen with a warming glow.

Stone benchtops meet a tiled splashback in soothing taupe, as banks of neutral cabinetry provide a place for everything. There is a central island for relaxed gathering, a delicious chatty vibe and enough space to arrange a dining table and your choice of comfy sofas.

The bedroom has a built-in robe and captures leafy views with glimpses toward Black Mountain. The adjacent bathroom is notably oversized and was purpose-built to accommodate wheelchair access, offering ease of movement. A large, step-free shower and integrated laundry sit comfortably within the space. Floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white is offset by a ribbon of organic-hued mosaics and earthy ceramic flooring.

A lovely community vibe informs the lived experience and it is not uncommon for groups to set up chairs on the communal lawns. Adding to the sense of space and practicality, the basement car space and storage cage are both notably larger than typical, thanks to their positioning within the building. The car space in particular comfortably accommodates larger vehicles. Throw in secure intercom access and you have laid-back living within a pocket of calm, right in the heart of the inner north.
