Executive living in Barton

13/45 Blackall Street BARTON, ACT 2600

Live in the heart of the parliamentary triangle in this executive three-bedroom apartment in Barton. Oozing with sophistication, the spacious apartment has a sun-filled open plan living area with timber floors, and plenty of storage throughout. All of the bedrooms have built-ins and large windows, or step outside onto the terrace from the living area for a peaceful, leafy outlook and Lake views. Live here and you’ll also get to make the most of the on-site gym.

The high life in Belconnen

2401/120 Eastern Valley Way, Belconnen

Not afraid of heights? Enjoy life on the 25th floor in this three bedroom, two bathroom apartment in Belconnen with panoramic views. The sun-filled, open plan living area includes a lounge, dining areas, plus a sleek kitchen with stone benchtops, and flows directly out to the balcony which wraps around one whole side of the apartment. All three bedrooms feature built-ins, while the master enjoys privacy away from the others plus direct access to the balcony and an ensuite. You’ll also get to make the most of the building’s indoor heated swimming pool which boasts impressive views of its own.

Inner city buzz

90/3 London Circuit, Canberra

Don’t need much space and want to live right in the thick of things? This two bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the 11th floor is in the heart of the city, with cultural delights and some of the city’s best eats and drinks conveniently located right on your doorstep. Or you can stay in and take in those breathtaking views at sunset, looking across Lake Burley Griffin to the Parliamentary Triangle and beyond to the Brindabellas. The main suite even has its own balcony with Lake-views, plus an ensuite with double vanities and a heated towel rail. The building also has an indoor heated lap pool and sauna, a fully equipped gym, and a barbecue area.

Penthouse living in Yarralumla

15/43 Hampton Circuit, Yarralumla

The huge, freestanding tub in the bathroom was enough to catch our eye, but this two-level penthouse in an architecturally-designed boutique complex in Yarralumla has plenty more features worth inspecting. The huge ground level combines living, dining and gourmet kitchen, and you can pop out onto one of two balconies to enjoy views of Parliament House and the surrounding parklands. Up the stunning timber staircase are two spacious bedrooms, each with their own ensuite and built-in robes.
