102/241 Northbourne Avenue, Lyneham, ACT 2602

This stunning one bedroom studio apartment is visually striking, wonderfully liveable and captures dreamy treetop views across old Lyneham. A layering of rich texture and colour combines with vaulted concrete ceilings, honeyed flooring. Epic double glazing's welcome light and aspect, extending the living areas to a heavenly terrace. 

The Base 241 complex is famed for its architectural edge, quality inclusions and fabulous amenities. Designed by Cox Architecture and built by the progressive Construction Control, the building does not disappoint, with its striking layering of concrete, steel and glass. There is easy access via De Burgh Street to a secure basement parking spot with storage cage. Pedestrian entry is via the grand foyer, approached via a side avenue teeming with flowering jasmine, dappling the raw concrete floors with shadow play. 

No.102 conveniently housed on the ground floor, gifting ease of access and the surprise of both elevation and gorgeous aspect.

There is intrigue at play from the get-go, the bedroom playing peek-a-boo behind pocket sliders that can be closed or left open, enhancing the felt sense of spaciousness and light. Sea green frosted glass acts like a lantern, doubling down as an adjacent shower room, the ensuite cleverly utilising every inch of space with its walk-thru vibe and inviting translucency. The toilet is also framed in frosted glass creating a softly diffused light that works against the darker tones of the vanity and sink.

The kitchen is cleverly designed to wrap around the corner and impresses with its scheme of deep greys. Banks of storage meet stone worktops and mirrored smoky splashbacks capture the ethereal play of the surrounding landscape. There is a fabulous moving island that can sit central or be moved to the side, gifting a boon of additional space. This versatility is perfect for entertaining, the whole space merging to skyline, distant mountain glimpses. The romantic and spacious terrace garden a scene setter, teeming with star jasmine, wonderfully private, heavenly scented. 

A lift takes you to the rooftop, where a cooling swimming pool is set within beautifully curated gardens. From here you are treated to a magnificent sweeping panorama…think cityscape, twinkling lights, moody mountain ranges. One imagines wondrous sunsets, hanging with family and friends, the light fading over the hills, sharing a glass or two. Or swimming lazy laps early morning as the first light breaks. Perhaps gathering with neighbours to watch a movie, on the outdoor TV beneath the moonlight. Either way, the extraordinary rooftop amenities gift a poetic and powerful engagement with nature and landscape.

The fab locale places you front and central to the buzzing Dickson and Braddon precincts, and handy to the light rail whisking your straight to the CBD. There is a surrounding of green spaces, wetlands, shared biking and walking paths, gifting a winning lifestyle balance. The ANU, Melbourne Centre, New Acton precinct and O'Connor shops are all close to hand. The home is also close to transport including the light rail and metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
