The home opens to balconies on both sides, drawing light and cooling cross breezes deep into the open plan. Elegant finishes feel calm and collected…the chic minimalist vibe allowing nature to do the talking, as walls of glass frame elevated views, drinking in treetops, endless skies.

This beautiful three-bedder is ideally housed on the second/top floor, within a small cul-de-sac, moments from the Braddon supermarket and an easy stroll to the Braddon precinct and the CBD. The locale also places you within walking distance of the much loved Ainslie shops and the meandering trails of the Reserve. There is parkland nearby and a lovely feeling of leafy remove…a deep quietude that feels far from the neighbouring hustle and bustle.

The minimalist white form is all smooth render and ribbons of inset glass. A central path ushers past well-tended gardens…green hedged borders, flat emerald lawns and shady mature trees. The stairwell illuminated by a glowing natural light, with panes of glass on each landing floating you among landscape.

Within, golden timber floors flow underfoot and walls are freshly painted a soft white. The social hub all high ceilings and glass doors that spill to a deep, northern balcony. The kitchen neatly occupying one corner, finished in soft taupe with waterfall stone worktops. We love the delineated dining space, its open conversational mood, wall of fixed cabinetry for storage and curated display, and the trio of drop pendant lighting that softly illuminate the table.

There is a trio of bedrooms, all with excellent storage and new charcoal grey carpets that ground the white washed serenity. The master bedroom merging to an elegant ensuite bathroom and all rooms framing treetops and the architecture of the city. The central or third bedroom is a flexible space and could easily be utilised as a gorgeous library, sitting room or home office. French style double doors can be opened, connecting the space to the social hub and doubling down on light, air and space. Glass sliders open onto a secluded balcony, so you can step outside and drink in the sunshine.

There is a second bathroom with a laundry nicely tucked away behind the door and both bathrooms are finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white, with floors a soft mocha brown. Throw in secure intercom entry, basement parking with storage, and you have an easy-care lifestyle, enviably connected to all the best that the inner north and Canberra has to offer.

Coolac Street is dotted with chic new low-lying developments and is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including all the biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios… There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its much loved IGA and gastro pub. The CBD is whisper close and with buses and light rail at your doorstep you can ditch the car, easily exploring the whole of Canberra.
