This elegant two-bedder is ideally placed, a few steps from the dynamic Eyre St Market and seeded within the iconic offerings of old Kingston - think Silo Bakery, Green Square and the Durham Castle Arms Pub. It is a lovely stroll to the Foreshore with its bevy of restaurants and bars that front the Lake's edge. A scenic bike ride through wetlands delivers you to the dynamic Dairy Road Precinct and iconic Manuka is a short stroll away. Throw in Heritage listed Manuka swimming pool, Telopea Park, a surrounding of significant cultural offerings, The Bus Depot Markets and the nearby Parliamentary triangle and you have absolutely everything you could ever need, right your doorstep.
They don't make them like they used to? this vintage development charms with its neat array of double-brick terraced homes, spilling to broad balconies and well-tended courtyard gardens. There is a relaxing swimming pool and quiet communal gardens to enjoy, with meandering paths, neatly clipped hedges, shady trees.
The open living, dining, kitchen is light-filled with glass sliders that welcome warming northern rays and leafy aspect. Easy care timber vinyl flooring stretches to meet expanses of whitewashed walls, perfect for curated artworks. Private and contained, while also being open to the world, this lovely space emanates a paired-back Scandi joy, all white on white with notes of matt black. We love the black pendant light that illuminates the dining table and the spill to deep balcony, gifting an alfresco lifestyle, geared for celebration and relaxed repose.
The kitchen exudes a polished simplicity and cohesion with its monochromatic theme. We adore the efficient galley style, the conversational openness with the dining space and the sleek stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher to make elaborate meals or quickly plated take-out, a breeze.
The master bedroom opens to a sweet Juliet balcony, so you can step outside, taking in the nourishing beauty of the botanical surrounds. A wall of white cabinetry keeps the clutter at bay and soft carpets in contemporary charcoal, add to an all-pervading stylish grace.
The second bedroom has a large glazing set within an interesting play of architectural lines, as walls meet to form an angled nook, ideal for a comfy chair so you can sit and window gaze. There is also a built-in-robe to keep things soothingly minimal.
The family bathroom has a relaxing bathtub and large vanity, gifting excellent storage. Finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling, there is a vibe of simple elegance, with the decadence of a large mirror edged in marbled tiling and a loo, cleverly hidden behind an internal wall.
Underpinning it all is the amazing lifestyle?Tokyo Canteen, Wildflower Cafe, Wonderburger, Mochachos, are just a few of the fab new eateries at your doorstep. The home also a short stroll from the iconic offerings of Old Kingston, Silo Bakery, Pomegranate Restaurant and the Durham Castle Arms Pub. The Foreshore offers a plethora of waterside eateries and endless shared bike and walking trails hug the shores of Lake Burly Griffin, connecting to the Glassworks, Bus Depot Markets and the Art Gallery.
