2/10 Ipima Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

This peaceful one-bedder is arranged in and open plan and has walls of glazing's that frame a green-walled courtyard. There is the distinction of a roomy separate office and a creative palette that balances calming deep teal, moody indigo with fresh limed oak timber floors, engendering a European vibe right in the heart of Braddon.

Housed on the ground floor, the atmosphere is part nature bathed retreat, part cool inner-city pad. There is the coveted inner-north locale…the buzzing Braddon realm, the sheltering age-old pines of nearby Haig Park, the easy stroll or brisk tram ride to the CBD. Ipima Street  flanked by Ainslie and Turner, with the bushland trails of Mount Ainslie reserve moments to the east. 

The build rises in grand fashion, all concrete and glass with an airy foyer that features handsome timber baton work. There is a gym and central gardens that foster community. The home just few steps from the main entrance, along a breezy corridor, that also connects directly to the footpaths of Limestone Avenue. 

A long hallway is fitted with a tonne of built-in-storage so you can hang your winter coats and woollies, dump technology and keep things pleasingly minimal. We love the way the lower area of the walls are painted indigo blue, hinting at what is to come. There is a spot for a console, perfect for freshly arrayed flowers and storing keys.

The central social domain brims with light, the deep blue walls oh so tranquil, perfectly framing the botanical greens of the courtyard. Glass sliders can be opened in both the living area and bedroom, welcoming fresh air and inviting the outside in. Double glazing keeps things temperate and whisper quiet and high green walls, gift absolute privacy. 

The kitchen has banks of white cabinetry and warm specked stone worktops. There is a chic pop of art deco - the upper cupboards finished in navy blue with simple looping patterns in bright gold. There are quality appliances from Bosch to get the job done and a lovely social vibe, so you can cook up a storm, plate fav take-out, while the conversations flow.

The bedroom opens dreamily to the terrace, so you can step outside and nature bathe, enjoying the morning sunlight that streams through the pittosporum walls. Luxe velvet curtains shutter the light and beautiful deep teal walls hold and soothe. There is also a generous walk-in-robe for seamless storage, in fact the apartment has exceptional storage options throughout, with an additional built-in-cupboard just outside the bedroom doorway.

The office sits across from the bathroom and offers up ample room for working, studying, creating and even for guests to crash for the night. The luxe bathroom extends quite the relaxing spa like experience, with floor-to-ceiling tiling and wall hung vanity with counter top basin, alongside a seamlessly integrated European laundry. 

Notably the home is kept temperate all year round via a wall hung Split RC air-conditioning unit and has secure basement parking with a storage cage. 

Slip out for a morning brew at Barrio Collective, lunch with friends at Elemental Café after yoga, take home artisan ceramics from Timber and Tailor, fill your space with gorgeous blooms from Moxom and Whitney…it's all at your doorstep. A famous mix of old and new informs a thriving, eclectic urban culture - a haven for expressive cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques and community. Just a few steps from Haig Park, this dynamic, central locale also places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, and the New Acton precinct. Dickson, Ainslie, 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.
