Nestled in the Braddon heritage precinct, directly across from Canberra's treasured 1920s Gorman House lies the tightly held, highly sought after "Gatsby" complex. Set on the first floor, offering glorious views out to the city's oldest neighbourhoods lined with Holm Oaks.

Perfect for first home buyers or a neat and tidy investment, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is the ideal respite from the hustle and bustle without having to sacrifice location. At 29/16 Doonkuna Street everything is truly on your doorstep. Not only a secure and private common garden surrounded by magnolias, but you're a stone's throw from Dendy cinema, Canberra Centre, Lonsdale St restaurants, Glebe Park and best of all, the brekky burgers from Gus' Place.

The light, fresh green views as you walk in is all that is beautiful about old Braddon. Like a siren call, you can't help but be drawn to the look out over Doonkuna Street below and the city beyond. The covered, double entry balcony is safe haven for plant enthusiasts and morning cups of tea, taking advantage of the eastern aspect.

Light fills the comfortable living and dining space, and acts as your weighted blanket after a long day. Adjoining, the smart and functional kitchen surrounds a stone top island bench, perfect space for conversing while someone cooks dinner. Filled with ample cabinetry and pantry space, there's a spot for every spice and every culinary gizmo.

The restful, generously sized main bedroom enjoys a lovely green aspect, luxurious walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with European-style laundry.

This smart and stunning apartment is designed for calm and convenient living. Finally, this home comes with intercom system, split system ducted air conditioning, and secure basement car spot.
