115/17 Dooring Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

No need for a car when you can walk to everywhere!

This airy one-bedder connects to nature at every turn, as glass doors spill to alfresco living and the bedroom frames the arching green fronds of tree ferns. Direct access to leafy communal gardens adds to the natural feel, creating a respite from city living. 

Timber floors flow underfoot, and living is arranged openly, with glass walls that welcome light deep into the plan. Crisp white walls usher in a sense of calm and provide the perfect backdrop for personal stylings, chosen pops of art. The kitchen is nicely arrayed in one corner and has a cheerful open vibe, with classic granite worktops and clean white cabinetry. There is all electric cooking, a brand-new dishwasher and a moveable island bench.

The high walled courtyard extends the lived experience to outdoors, where shady trees add to the privacy and peace. A gate spills to central parklands adding a whole other natural layer and engendering the feel of living within acreage. 

The sculptural shapes of so many Rough Tree Ferns welcomes a cooling natural mood within the generous bedroom, with large built-in-robes and easy access to the adjacent bathroom, simply appointed in all white with a generous glassed shower space. There is also a European laundry and a large linen cupboard for seamless storage. Throw in secure basement parking and you have an easy-care lifestyle, at once green retreat and buzzing urban lifestyle.

Ever-popular Dooring is a leafy street, ideally placed between the Dickson and Braddon hubs and just moments from the village delights of Ainslie. The apartment is housed within the Valonia building - layered glass balconies, distinctive curves and portal windows that lend the building an art-deco flair and a distinct nautical feel. There is access to communal gardens, barbecue spaces and a gym and it is an easy stroll to Haig Park and the walking trails of Mt Ainslie.
