Finding an apartment that ticks all the boxes, including good light, lots of space, and a bees knees location – it's a bingo moment. This airy home, extending to courtyard at both ends is elegantly modern, effortlessly bohemian, with seamless flow to outdoors. Positioned in the heart of the coveted suburb of Braddon, you are just a short stroll from the bustle of Lonsdale Street. Renovated by its current owner, 1/56 Ijong, is warm with bright pops of colour and artful touches.
A small development of twenty-one units and townhouses, the Arc has a high percentage owner/occupiers, friendly neighbours and inter-connecting, leafy communal courtyards. A central corridor with an extravagantly vaulted ceiling and skylights provides an architectural entry sequence to this charming ground floor home.
The spacious kitchen, living, dining is characterised by multiple windows and sliding doors that open to front, west facing courtyard. A playful feature wall, of bright teal blue is the perfect vibrant backdrop for chosen artworks. Hybrid timber flooring perfectly complements this sun-drenched arena. At the end of the day, a quick close of the cellular blinds transforms the home into a cosy space to veg out.
Both bedrooms are serene spaces, graced with morning light. The master bedroom has a walk-through robe and modern ensuite with dual hand/rainfall shower heads. The master also opens via glass doors to the immaculate rear courtyard. The second bedroom has a built-in-wardrobe and is aligned with a spacious family bathroom - with shower and separate bathtub.
The rear courtyard has a paved alfresco dining area, easy-care synthetic grass and a garden shed. Spacious and private, it is the perfect space for relaxing, tending your impressive potted garden. A gate provides access to connecting, communal courtyards - think tables under trees, a peaceful, leafy enclave in the heart of the city, summer barbecues, socialising with neighbours.
Ground floor, courtyards on both sides, street facing at the end of a small complex – 1/56 Ijong is a bingo moment for me.
