406/1 The Causeway, Kingston, ACT 2604

The Woolstore is all handsome steel framed and arched glass walls, combined with red recycled brick. Although brand spanking new, the build calls forth the feel of factory conversion, warehouse living and cool city pad. The textures are earthy - raw concrete, Corten steel and recycled timbers. The design ultimately modern with its sustainable practices, double glazing, shared solar and rooftop gardens for connectivity. 

We love the central breezeway and the open air corridors, the view from the top through a layering of light and tree fern. It gifts the feeling of living within an atrium garden, imbuing a serenity and forested peace to the feel of "coming home." And welcoming it is, as golden timber floors flow underfoot and open plan living spills to a large balcony, and Corten steel garden bed teem with plantings . 

Light streams within via epic windows, creating a play of shadows across the raw concrete walls topped with crisp white ceilings. The generous open kitchen, living and dining merging with a glassed second living or home office. Think library nook, creative den or romantic formal dining space…this is flexible living at work, fit for the imagination, for playing with different combos to suit mood, need and event, enhancing the apartments functionality.

The kitchen, all muted, smoked grey with white splashback and open shelves for curated display, is openly conversational. Doors open wide to the floating garden, large enough to dine alfresco or party beneath the fiesta lights. It is easy to imagine whole summers spent living alfresco, happy within your own airy domain, complete with romantic glimpses across old Kingston to the surrounding mountains. 

The sophisticated urban vibe continues to the principal bedroom, with its wall of dark mirrored robes and cool elevated ensuite bathroom. Almost a mirror double, the second bedroom also has a built-in-robe and merges to an ensuite bathroom. Both bathroom are a mash-up of silvery grey herringbone and black mosaic tiling, creating a feast of texture, all set against crisp white with restrained notes of timber.

This unique locale is rooted within the historic and energetic soul of old Kingston and Manuka, just moments from the Lake and the cultural buildings that hug its shores. Enviably positioned close to the flashy Kingston Foreshore, The Kingsborough offers a unique peaceful village lifestyle, steeped in community values. Local offerings include a bike shop, yoga studio, psychologist, coffee roastery with taproom, eighty/twenty café and AEQUUS Fitness. It is a short stroll to old Kingston where the new shopping precinct and eateries combine with iconic favourites - Silo Café, The Durham Castle Arms, Bus Depot Markets and Canberra Glassworks. There are scenic paths through Jerrabomberra Wetlands and out to the Dairy Rd Precinct, home to Capital Brewing Co and an array of independent businesses. 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.
