83/84 Northbourne Avenue, Braddon, ACT 2612

Rising above Northbourne Avenue at the junction of Braddon and the CBD, this expansive apartment is a rare entry level offering. An enviable locale provides unparalleled access to the city's universities and business districts, while simultaneously providing ready access to the most expressive eating, drinking and shopping experiences that the city has to offer. Yet the apartment has a lovely quietude, offering stunning vistas of undulating mountains and vivid sunsets.

Within, the spacious open plan kitchen, dining, and living areas welcome light and landscape via a wall of glass sliders. Doors can be opened to access the generous balcony or to enjoy warm summer breezes and northern views that capture the cityscape and mountains beyond. The kitchen is nicely arranged in one corner with plenty of storage and modern appliances including a glass induction cooktop, microwave oven, and dishwasher. A huge bedroom captures the soft morning light and offers modern, built-in-robes, and flows nicely to a simply appointed ensuite bathroom.

And the apartment comes fully furnished so you can move straight in! We love the comfy modern couches in soft grey blues and the padded wall hung bedhead. There is an all-pervasive feeling of cosy tranquillity with a splash of playful colour, as a wire pendant light, in fire engine red, softly illuminates the dining area.

There is an enviable lifestyle here, with indoor pool, sauna, and gymnasium just a short lift ride away. And underpinning it all is the brilliant position, offering an easy stroll to the wonderful Braddon precinct, famous for its unique blend of cool, independent businesses housed within old industrial buildings. More recently the area has sprung exciting new, modern buildings. This mix of old and new informs a thriving, eclectic urban culture – a haven for independent cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques, bakeries, and yoga studios.

This dynamic, central locale is seeded in all the rich educational and cultural offerings that the city has to offer. The Australian National University, the University of New South Wales, and the city's business and cultural districts are an easy stroll away. You are spoiled with an extensive array of public transport offerings at your doorstep, providing direct access to all areas of the city. Throw in secure car parking, ample green spaces, walking and biking trails, established trees, and gardens, and you have an enviable city / village mix that is hard to rival.
