This light and cheery one-bedder occupies a prime position, moments from the vibrant Braddon precinct and the CBD. Living is arranged in an open plan and spills to a sunny and private balcony that captures treetop views.

The Vail is a boutique development that sits across from Haig Park, with the complex also offering a swimming pool. The smooth rendered form works in contrast with a dramatic central wall of glass, flooding the foyer with wonderful light. Ideally placed moments from leafy parkland and a cornucopia of eateries and entertainment options, the home serves up a combo of inner calm and exciting urban lifestyle.

Glass sliders drink in warm sunshine, the abundance of light bouncing off white walls, illuminating the golden timber floors. The generous open arrangement includes living, dining and kitchen. The kitchen is finished in soft neutrals, with banks of cabinetry and easy-care benchtops. There is an electric oven, cooktop and rangehood and dishwasher. This warm hub is perfect for relaxed togetherness and conversational flow. Think gathering with family and friends, spilling to the balcony for a drink or two, elegant dinner parties or instant gourmet takeaway from the Lonsdale strip.

The master bedroom is a lovely private haven with excellent built-in-storage. A generous bathroom sits adjacent, simply finished in crisp whites with a corner spa bath. Throw in secure intercom entry, basement parking with storage, as well as lift access and you have an easy-care lifestyle, enviably connected to all the best that the inner north and Canberra has to offer.

The home is just a few steps from Haig Park and an easy walk to Lonsdale Street, famous for its eclectic range of restaurants, cafes, unique boutiques, fantastic coffee, and thriving bars. This dynamic central locale also places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, Canberra Centre, New Acton precinct and O'Connor shops. This whole inner-north area is renowned for an amazing array of eating, drinking, relaxing, pampering, exercising and entertaining experiences. Throw in, ample green spaces, walking and biking trails, established trees and gardens, and you have an enviable city/village mix. The home is also close to transport including the light rail and city bus station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
