This generously proportioned home occupies an enviable position, on a quiet street, within easy reach of the ANU and CBD. Cosy and inviting, the home, exudes a restful, peaceful air, that belies the extraordinary position within the fashionable inner-north, and on the edge of the city. Beautifully renovated while retaining the charm of yesteryear, the home has twin courtyards and open living that flows seamlessly to alfresco dining.
A lovely example of Canberra's iconic, quality complexes, Northgate Gardens, is an enduring classic that has become more interesting with time. Standing out from the boxy blandness of so many modern developments, the complex is both individual and welcoming. Set within leafy grounds, this is a quiet place, situated close to Canberra's liveliest centres. Communal green spaces forge connection and overall, there is a restful, homely atmosphere.
Within textural brick walls are painted crisp white and the airy kitchen, dining, living opens via glass sliding doors to an enormous, covered courtyard. High brick courtyard walls privatise and enclose, and a gate allows access to nearby Northbourne Avenue with light rail stop - whisking you to the city.
The white-on-white kitchen, with sleek stainless-steel appliances, has handy open shelving for display of chosen ceramics, lush plants. There is ample storage and the abundance of natural light, connection with outside, makes it a joy to entertain with family and friends.
The master bedroom has direct access to sunny courtyard, a gorgeous morning nook for quiet reflection before the day begins with a cup of coffee. Both bedrooms are graced with light, have a peaceful ambience and excellent built-in-storage.
The generous family bathroom features a wonderful freestanding tub for long soaks, a relaxing rain shower and the convenience of a European style laundry. There is also a lock-up garage with additional storage.
