This elegant two-bedder reads like a botanical oasis with its surrounding of beautiful trees and plantings, and its bountiful natural light creating a haven for both humans and plants. We love the circular window creating a halo of light and the walled surround of the balcony, gifting an embrace of enclosure. There is a natural simplicity to the balance of spaces, complimented by the interior palette…white finishes and crisp black fixtures, creating a lovely cohesion. 

Inspired by the French architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, The Broadway apartments conjure Paris with their gorgeous avant-garde style. The form gleaming in the sunshine, all white plaster with industrial steel windows. The clean lines, elegant curves and playful portal windows celebrating a spirited modernist aesthetic, feeling every bit at home amidst the significant heritage architecture of old Kingston.

Green walled pathways usher past crisp white volumes, leafy groves of ornamental pear trees…no.16 set deep within the shady development, wonderfully private and oh so, quiet. Sited across from the playing fields of St Edmonds College and flanked by Kingston Oval, the apartment feels immersed in nature, while connecting you to a myriad of boutique shopping, dining and eating experiences. Stroll to old and new Kingston, jog the edges of the Lake, swim at the art-deco Manuka pool or head to Fyshwick Markets for ample produce, vintage cheeses and armfuls of fresh flowers.

Light falls through a mix of black framed windows and sliders, entering deep into the open plan. The warm tones and texture of recycled hardwood flooring, stretching to meet whisper white walls. The deep balcony extending the lived experience, embracing the outdoors and gifting alfresco living within your own private garden room. 

Stone benchtops, white cabinetry, elongated black handles and a tiled splashback in crisp white, keep things timelessly monochromatic within the modern kitchen. And there is a relaxed conversational feel, perfect for entertaining…spilling to terrace for long lunches, romantic evening drinks. Or drawing the heavy curtains come night time, creating a cosy haven, a world away from the hustle and bustle…think relaxed evenings, perfectly curated dinner parties.

There is a duo of welcoming bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms and built-in-robes for seamless storage. Both the family and ensuite bathroom are simply appointed in white on white with floor to ceiling tiling. Throw in a European laundry, linen cupboard and basement parking for two with storage cage and you have chic inner-city living at its efficient best.

Griffith is famous for its wide tree lined streets, parklands, and lovely combo of old and new homes. The apartment is a short stroll to Fyshwick and Eyre St Market and seeded within the iconic offerings of old Kingston…think Silo Bakery, Green Square and the Durham Castle Arms Pub. It is a lovely stroll to the Foreshore with its bevy of restaurants and bars that front the Lake's edge. A scenic bike ride through wet lands delivers you to the dynamic Dairy Road Precinct and iconic Manuka is not far away. Throw in Heritage listed Manuka swimming pool, Telopea Park, a surrounding of significant cultural offerings, The Bus Depot Markets and the nearby Parliamentary triangle and you have absolutely everything you could ever need, right your doorstep. With easy access to transport, choice of public and private schools, the home, is also just a stone's throw from Capital Hill and the CBD.
