3/11 Wise Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

This delightful two-bedder is big on light and space and flows to courtyard gardens, front and back. It is this continuous connection with outdoors that creates an even greater sense of space, bathing you in the soothing sights and sounds of nature, gifting a true respite from the nearby drama of the city.

There is a lovely lightness to the form of this boutique development, with its light scheme, flat roofline and array of large glazings that act like a mirror onto the trees. There are jutting window eves and the visual delight of two slender vertical towers, each topped with a classic butterfly roof. Green hedges enclose the build and there is a scattering of deciduous trees that shade in summer and welcome warming light come winter. 

This ideal locale places you a short stroll from all the creative vitality of Braddon by day or night…great coffee, food, drinks, exercise, community. Throw in easy access to the CBD and a surrounding of tranquil green spaces and you have the best of urban living, with a restful dollop of country peace.

The apartment is housed on the ground floor and delivers a sweeping social arena…all open plan with a sleek linear kitchen housed along one wall. This free form feels convivial and freeing, perfect for daily togetherness and communing with friends. Glass sliders open to a sheltered patio with steps that connect you to the communal garden – all green lawns and hedging beneath the soulful form of an old oak tree.

A study in paired-back simplicity, the well-designed kitchen delivers stone worktops, quality appliances from Miele and a restful neutral scheme with nougat cabinetry and tiled splashback in soft taupe. Think tossed together meals with friends, plated take-out…long Sundays spilling to outside, drinks and shared food in the sunshine. 

Both bedrooms have glass sliders that welcome breezes, light and landscape into the rooms. You gaze upon the open parkland across the way, gifting quite the restful natural immersion. There are built-in-robes for seamless storage and the luxury of an ensuite bathroom off the master. Both the ensuite and the second bathroom are finished in floor to ceiling tiling and deliver a simple combo of crisp white alongside earthy neutrals. 

Wise Street is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including the pine tree dotted Haig Park and the nearby biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios… There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its fabulous IGA and gastro pub. There are plenty of good schools close to hand including Merici College which is just across the road. The CBD is whisper close and with buses and light rail at your doorstep you can ditch the car, easily exploring the whole of Canberra.
