Light filled and airy with high ceilings, sweeping living arena and neatly aligned French doors opening to broad balcony. Comfortably straddling two eras, the home is imbued with both soulful charm and contemporary comforts and takes in elevated views of magical gardens.
On a quiet tree lined street just outside of the bustling Canberra Centre and across from the heritage Gorman Arts Centre, sits this charming enclave of neatly aligned terrace houses.
Tumbled mixed brick, wrought iron balconies gives way to white washed corridors, soft carpeted stairwells, stained glass doors, in swirls of amber, green and orange.
Argyle Square is nestled within the lush, garden suburb of Reid - deep verges, ordered heritage homes, interlinking pathways, garden circles with central parklands and a lovely enchantment made up of old-world charm. The apartment is an easy stroll to Glebe Park, and handy to all the walking trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve. There are a cornucopia of outstanding restaurants, bars and shopping experiences at your doorstep, including the quaint and creative offerings of some of Canberra's oldest suburbs.
This stunning two-bedroom apartment sits on the top floor and has been beautifully re-imagined, lovingly tended. Shafts of golden light stream through the tree canopies reaching deep into the enormous living and dining area. Romantic timber doors can be opened to breezes and sunshine as drift to northern balcony extends the space to alfresco living.
It is easy to love the lacy ironwork, arched cutaway framing criss-crossing garden paths, a sea of lush greenery below. One imagines resting on deep outdoor couches, steeped in the dream land peace of the old world gardens, the heritage roof top views and blue sky surrounds.
The galley kitchen sits adjacent to the sunny dining area and is finished in a neutral palette with plenty of cabinets and quality appliances. Two peaceful bedrooms are nicely sequestered at the opposing end of the apartment and both open to a long balcony with treetop views across Reid. The master bedroom is a soothing haven with painted brick walls adding texture. A walk-thru-robe ushers to ensuite bathroom.
The second bedroom has a built-in-robe and sits adjacent to a family bathroom and separate toilet. Next door a large laundry provides plenty of extra storage and the hallway is lined with cabinetry so there is a neat place for everything.
The shared courtyard gardens are verdant, soft, inviting, allowing you to spill out from the home to a calming reserve. Emerald, green lawns, neatly clipped topiary, dappled shade and old world post lights make you feel like you just stepped through the wardrobe into a magical land.
The apartment is positioned on the cusp of the city, within Reid, alongside Braddon, close to Ainslie, and just a few steps from the Canberra Centre. Reid is known for its history, garden city vernacular, quality heritage homes, delightful pathways connecting green spaces and strong community vibe. This dynamic inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, and entertainment options. The home is across the road from Gorman House Arts centres, close to the Canberra Theatre Centre, the ANU, CIT, Glebe Park and the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie reserve - all the best that central Canberra has to offer, is within easy reach. Handy to schools, colleges and with immediate access to transport, including the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
