Why make life complicated when it can be simple? This gorgeous one-bedder is a study in easy-care, as ground floor living spills effortlessly to outdoors. The entire home informed by a mood of contemplation and serenity, at once connected and removed from the nearby hustle and bustle.

This sunny, open plan apartment occupies an enviable position in the heart of the sought after inner-north. Moments from playgrounds and ovals, the home is also handy to the fast developing Dickson precinct, the much-loved Ainslie shops and the village centres of Lyneham and O'Connor. There is a lovely feeling of seclusion here, despite the home's proximity to the vibrant Braddon scene and the CBD.

Stockdale Street is a leafy street, lined with mature crab apples and home to a mix of boutique developments and original cottages. no.32 takes full advantage of its gorgeous outlook, drifting to a private and north facing garden that reads like a tranquil antidote to a busy life.

Minimal but warm and inviting, the apartment is simply appointed with golden timber floors and soft white walls. Both kitchen and bathroom are studies in crisp white, with pops of gleaming chrome and stainless-steel. The paired-back material palette keeping things tranquil, as light dappled white walls invite colourful art, chosen textiles.

The open plan living, dining and kitchen is informed by its wonderful connection to the outdoors and alfresco dining. The prettily planted courtyard extending the living arena and wrapping around to meet the bedroom. So, you can step from bedside to outside, greeting the life giving energy of the emerging day.

Arranged in the perfect galley style, packed with storage with acres of stone worktops, the kitchen is a dreamy and confident central hub. Quality appliances from Miele take care of business and make for easy entertaining. Whether you are cooking up a storm for friends, plating takeaway from your favourite Braddon restaurant or just spending a lazy Sunday at home, this effortlessly efficient space has you covered.

The wonderful apartment also comes with a generous European laundry, a wall of built-in-robes for seamless bedroom storage, and a secure basement carpark with storage cage.

The home is a few steps from Hope Street Playground and Blue Gum Preschool. It is an easy stroll to the famous Dickson precinct for shopping and choice of international cuisine. Lyneham and Dickson wetlands, Hope St Playground, Ainslie Oval, Dickson Playing Fields, and Jandura Park are all close to hand and there is a choice of public and private schooling. Close to transport, the much-loved Ainslie shops and Mount Ainslie reserve, the home is a stone's throw from the dynamic Braddon precinct, the CBD, and the ANU.
