609/155 Northbourne Avenue, Turner, ACT 2612

Please note, if not sold prior, this property will be going to auction on site, 12:30pm Wednesday 20th November 2024. The advertised price guide is there to help give buyers a bracket to work from and may be updated as the campaign progresses. Offers prior to auction are welcomed. 

Available immediately, this modern, low maintenance residence is located in the sought-after 'Space 1' development. Uniquely located away from any major roads and high up on the sixth floor, it offers a quiet haven and sweeping skyline views. With no other units able to look in, the privacy and tranquillity of this unit makes it stand out.

The ultra-large living areas and private balcony combine to add a lot more 'Space' than most 2 bedroom units in the suburb. With easy lift access from the basement car park to every floor, there are no stairs to navigate. The double-glazed windows improve both the energy efficiency and peacefulness of the unit.

The City and Braddon are so close, allowing a short walk to the Canberra Centre, North Quarter, bus interchange, ANU & much more. And with a tram stop on your doorstep, you can easily get to Gungahlin and soon, Woden town centre, without battling traffic.

Whether it's a down-sizer's dream, a City socialite's residence, a professional couple's stress free abode, a week day crash pad, or an investment opportunity to give future capital gain and solid rental income - this apartment offers tremendous potential for all.
