One imagines stepping outside, cuppa in hand…taking in the day, lingering beneath the old growth trees that dot the lawns. There is a nice community feel, a relaxed arrangement of alfresco settings spilling from neighbouring apartments. Framing it all is the glory of the mountain, the invitational call of the local café's, the endless dappled walkways that connect to significant parklands, all the way to Lake Burly Griffin and the CBD.
This gorgeous one-bedder is packed with clever storage solutions, drinks in northern sunlight and is perfectly located close to parklands and the popular Campbell shops.
A thoughtful renovation has created a serene living environment, white-washed, simple and oh so soothingly minimal. Adding to the joy is the timeless elegance of this coveted multi-res – red brick, crisp white windows, geometric screens, open air stairwells and sweeping central gardens.
The development is significant for its classic modernist form and central position within leafy old Campbell. Even the driveway captures elevated views to Mount Ainslie, the site a hop, skip and jump from the local shops, primary school, tennis courts, cricket nets, walking trails, endless reserve. This peaceful apartment enjoys a charming nostalgia, with long drive way, dedicated parking, endless gardens and a row of classic hills hoists basking in the sunlight. This highly coveted locale is rich in leafy community feels, whisper close to all the epicentres of the inner north, a stone's throw from the CBD, and close to IKEA, Bunnings and the extensive Majura shopping precinct.
You pass from the tree-dotted grassland into a small foyer edged with a simple array of vintage mailboxes and situated on the ground floor of a secluded four-apartment building. No.10 immediately on your right, is earthed by floating timber laminate floors and brimming with sunshine. The kitchen sits in chatty, open dialogue with the dining and lounge space. The whole space welcoming a play of light and shadow, as large windows frame the landscape. Custom cabinetry provides a tonne of storage, cleverly extending from the kitchen beneath the window to create a study nook with a mountain view. Everything here is seamless and integrated – dishwasher, fridge and freezer – and there are quality all electric appliances from Miele.
The bedroom doubles down on storage with a wall of joinery surrounding the bed, complete with integrated downlights for reading. Venetian blinds filter the wealth of natural light that falls through the large window. A generous bathroom sits adjacent, delivering a concordant, simple white grace, lots of storage, a Miele washing machine and underfloor heating.
Campbell shops are home to fab eateries including Hello Café, and the ever popular La Bistronome and the famous Department of Pizza. Nearby Campbell 5 is one of Canberra's most popular and vibrant pockets, with its collection of sought after bars, restaurants and cafés. The city centre is moments away and it is not far to the ANU, CIT, a mix of private and public schools and transport. Fabulous parks are a leafy stroll away as is access to the walking and biking trails of Lake Burley Griffin, Mt Ainslie and Mt Pleasant Nature Reserve.
