12/18 Dooring Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

Washed inside with white and organic neutrals, the home is a relaxed and ultra-modern haven for the inner-city dweller. Airy open living flows to a private balcony that takes in inspired views across the leafy street; the enviable locale hitting the sweet spot between tree dotted tranquillity and dynamic urban living.

The boutique Avanti complex is sheltered by the long reach of age-old oak trees, privately enclosed by established hedges. This low lying development is set within landscaped gardens and cuts a handsome form, with its straight lines and smooth rendered walls.

Within living is arranged in an open conversational plan, ideal for relaxed togetherness and entertaining. The balcony extends the social arena into the treetops and gifts an alfresco mood. Easy-care ceramic flooring flows underfoot as glass sliders capitalise on both light and aspect. We love the bright white kitchen with its pop of soft oak and textural mosaic splashback. There is a tonne of storage and sleek appliances from Blanco?think easy gourmet meals or perhaps prepping take-away from one of your fav restaurants on the vibrant Lonsdale stirp.

The welcoming bedroom is all Scandi white, with a window that welcomes light and a lovely snapshot of the balcony and trees. A wall mirrored built-in-robes gifts a place for everything and soft carpet keeps things cosy. The adjacent bathroom is finished in concordant crisp white with a full wall of feature mosaic tiling in earthy brown. A large vanity gifts extra storage, while a single note of oak echoes the soothing simplicity of the kitchen design.

Braddon is synonymous with a vibrant young creative class and has fast become one of Canberra's coolest commercial and residential precincts, with a combination of unique shopping, restaurants and bars taking up residence in older spaces and new bespoke designed commercial and residential buildings. The distinctive character of Braddon with its combo of old and new, leafy streets and modern edge, and its position within the heart of the inner north, makes it a sought-after locale. Dooring St 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. 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 and explore the whole of Canberra.
