Drenched in sunshine, this north facing three-bedder feels a world away from the hustle and bustle with one of the best views in Braddon stretching across parkland. Despite the connected locale - moments from the Braddon scene, CBD and light rail- there is a decided country peace. Think a constant connection with green expanses, endless trees and a profound privacy only interrupted by the trill of birdsong.
Tucked away on leafy Ijong Street, overlooking the park, this peaceful apartment is an easy stroll through Haig Park to an endless choice of hospitality venues, boutique shopping and exercise offerings. Situated within the inner north, on the edge of the CBD, the home is part serene escape and equal part, inner city pad. Housed within the charming Sandalyn Development, famed for its airy open foyer, tranquil green surrounds, the home consistently engages with nature, air and light.
The boutique complex is finished in a combo of raw brick and concrete grey. A central arch crowns the entry to the secure underground carpark, where a tiled portico nods to the heritage homes that populate the area. No. 39 is perfectly placed at the northern end, on the ground floor and just a few steps from the leafy central garden, with its wealth of herbs, shady trees, wisteria twined arbour.
Within earthy recycled timber floors stretch warm underfoot and a welcoming foyer provides pause, a place to kick of your shoes and hang your coat. There is the unique feel of floating amidst acreage, without the hassle of grounds keeping. The generous living area and dining space both opening via glass sliders to a sun-drenched balcony. From here you while away the hours, gazing across an endless sea of green, soaking up the northern sun…relaxing with self or spending precious time communing with family and friends.
The generous kitchen is housed deep in the open plan, feels light and convivial, gorgeously conversational across the large open domain. Banks of drawers and cupboards take care of seamless storage and a long peninsula gifts a relaxed place to gather. There are quality all electric appliances, including a two drawer dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel.
The master bedroom delivers on storage, with two sets of mirrored robes and takes in tranquil views out to the central gardens. There is a cooling ceiling fan for hotter summer nights and an elegant ensuite bathroom. Both additional bedrooms also have excellent built-in-storage and both centre around a large family bathroom with a relaxing corner spa bath. Both bathrooms are finished in warm white with earthy terracotta floor tiles and there is a generous walk-thru-laundry.
Step outside and you are greeted by all the creative vitality of Braddon by day or night…great coffee, food, drinks, exercise, community. By the way, it is a short stroll to the tram, and the CBD and you are moments from some of the best independent cafes, bakeries, yoga studios, boutiques, bars and restaurants that Canberra has to offer. Throw in a surrounding of tranquil green spaces and you have the best of urban living, with a restful dollop of country peace.
