7/43 Ipima Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

The simple scheme – white washed walls, natural timber look floors, pops of earthy neutral hues – maximises the sense of space and light. Open plan living spilling to a deep balcony, extending the home to the outside, doubling down on space to create, entertain and be.

Ipima Street is flanked by Ainslie and Turner, with the bushland trails of Mount Ainslie reserve moments to the east. It is a short stroll through Haig Park to all the happenings of Lonsdale Street and the CBD. This fabulous locale places you front and central, with all the heritage charm of the inner north at your doorstep, combined with the exciting new enticements that characterise the city edge.

The boutique form rises with a satisfying rendered simplicity, formal flower boxes flanking the central pathway, teeming with strappy cordylines. We love the flat roofline, the easy symmetry, the relaxed Tuscan vibe. There is the excitement of the coveted inner-north locale…the buzzing Braddon realm. But really you could be anywhere, the quietness of the street, its greening of street trees, tended lush gardens…conjuring the feel of genteel country life.

Within it is all warming northern light and a casting of dappled shadows across parquetry flooring. The open plan kitchen, dining and living perfectly conversational and informed by fresh breezes through a wall of glass sliders. Think warm days, doors flung open, stepping outside to sojourn on the private balcony, beneath the sheltering sail. 

The modern kitchen overlooks the open social space and is informed by blue sky views, northern sunshine. Perfectly arrayed with a tonne of storage, stone worktops and neatly tiled splashbacks in warm taupe, this robust hub happily caters for relaxed take-out nights, elegant dinner parties with friends. 

The bedroom softly carpeted and cosy with Venetian blinds to filter the light and a built-in-robe for effortless storage. The adjacent bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in concordant white and earthy tones and has a large vanity and a seamless European laundry.  

Slip out for a morning brew at Barrio Collective, lunch with friends at Elemental Café after yoga, take home artisan ceramics from Hive, 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.
