Resort style living with so much to enjoy – one of the finest apartments in the complex!

Occupying arguably the best position in Karelia Park, this renovated two-bedder spills to balconies on two sides. The home's position places it just steps from the swimming pool and the expansive curated green gardens. Wonderfully private, yet with an airy, open vibe, the home is enveloped in a botanical bliss, as sheltering trees and a cornucopia of flowering shrubs shelter and hold.

Black ceramic floors meet crisp white interiors, lending a classic and timeless feel. Living is arranged in an open plan with multiple glass sliders that give way to a deep balcony. From here you can while away the hours, enjoying fresh air, the secrecy of high green walls, perhaps sharing a gin & tonic after a cooling dip in the pool.

Soft carpet is inset within the ceramic floors, defining the living space and keeping things cosy. There is plenty of space for connection and repose, a comfy array of lounges, a dining table set for plenty and long gallery style walls for displaying your favourite art.

An island bench gifts a lovely gathering spot, extending the kitchen into the social area and creating additional counter and storage space. Topped with a warm timber worktop and cabinets on both sides, it is a clever addition to the neatly arrayed corner kitchen. There is a breakfast bar for easy-going seating and all electric appliances, including an as new induction cooktop, pyrolytic oven and a brand new Miele dishwasher.

We love the way the sleeping wing is sequestered via a slender hallway, and how both bedrooms merge to a private balcony. Both bedrooms share a peaceful serenity and have excellent storage. The master serving up a large built-in-robe and an ensuite bathroom. There is also an adjacent family bathroom with a combined laundry finished thematically in crisp white.

The grounds of Karelia Park read like a luxury resort, with their mix of established trees, perennials and expanses of green lawn. There is a great community spirit as frontages spill to central parkland, shared games room, barbecue area, tennis courts and sparkling swimming pool. It is a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet within arms reach of the enticing Dickson and Braddon precincts and the CBD.

The apartment is flanked by parkland and reserve with the walking and biking trails of Mt Majura almost at your doorstop. Watson is a vibrant, inner-north suburb with great community vibes and fabulous local shops - enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. The home is a nice stroll to Exhibition Park, host to the famous Farmer's Market and you are also convenient to a mix of private and public schools, close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
