This light filled one-bedroom apartment is positioned on the second floor of a contemporary apartment block, a few steps from the popular Campbell shops.
Surrounded by parks and handy to the walking trails of Mount Pleasant Nature Reserve and the tranquil bushland of Mount Ainslie, the locale enjoys a peaceful remove while being within reach of all the best the inner north has to offer.
Artique is an award-winning boutique development that houses only twelve apartments above a basement carpark. The two storey forms capture the eye from the get-go, with its artful combo of geometrical planes and shapes. Striking timber cladding co-mingles happily with smooth rendered walls and sleek glass. A central path ushers past the deep garden frontage with entry via a beautiful over-sized front door with vertical ribbons of glass, striping the foyer with golden light.
High ceilings and a soft neutral scheme contribute to a sense of spaciousness, the open plan living arrangement spilling to elevated balcony. Glass sliders welcome light and views, forging an ideal indoor-outdoor connection. From the balcony you can see the magical forms of both Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie. Think gorgeous soft morning light, epic sunsets, the ever-changing mood of the sky and mountains, entertaining with family and friends in elevated privacy.
Seamlessly occupying one wall, the kitchen is all understated grace, with warm timber inspired finishes, black stone worktops and a dark glass splashback that reflects the light. A combo of drawers, cabinets and glass display units provide a spot for everything. Sleek stainless-steel appliances make cooking easy and there is a small appliance bay with roller-shutter door to keep things elegantly minimal.
The bedroom is blessed by eastern light and captures views of sky and treetops including the spire of an ancient pencil pine. There is a walk-in-wardrobe for easy storage, fitted with custom joinery. The large bathroom combined laundry is finished in floor to ceiling tiling in soft nougat with sleek black accents. The laundry is seamlessly integrated behind a clever roller shutter.
The apartment has the option to be purchased fully furnished. Simple elegant pieces in subtle hues coalesce with flowing drapes, so you can move straight in, or draw additional income from immediate short stay accommodation rental. There is also secure basement parking with additional storage and intercom access.
