An outstanding entry into the heart of the Woden Valley, this generously sized studio apartment in the Woden Gardens complex presents exceptional value for owner-occupiers and investors alike. Offering more internal space than nearby one-bedroom apartments, this is an opportunity to secure flexibility, comfort and long-term appeal in a highly connected location.
The apartment is double glazed throughout and features a full-sized, well-appointed kitchen complete with breakfast bar, dishwasher and electric cooking - a standout inclusion for a studio. The open-plan living area has been enhanced with new timber-style flooring, reverse cycle heating and cooling unit and custom built-in cabinetry thoughtfully designed to accommodate a Murphy bed. Other apartments of this popular floorplan have added dividers to create a segregated bedroom space, highlighting the versatility and future potential of the layout. The living area enjoys a coveted north-east outlook over the established gardens and greenery, quietly positioned in the complex. The bathroom is well configured with a combined bath and shower, along with integrated laundry facilities including a washer and dryer for everyday convenience. A covered carport with additional storage further enhances practicality and appeal.
Positioned in the centre of Woden, the location offers walking distance to Westfield Woden and the bus interchange alongside endless shopping and dining options, plus only minutes to The Canberra Hospital. With strong rental demand driven by proximity to health, government and education precincts, this apartment represents a highly rentable, low-maintenance investment achieving up to $400 per week or an affordable live-in option in a tightly held Woden Valley setting.
