Amid the bustling Belconnen precinct, this serene north facing apartment occupies the ninth floor of Altitude, a stunning contemporary build with wonderful amenities. A paired-back material palette meets pops of art deco bling, as both the social domain and the bedroom drink in big sky views.
The coveted locale places you within walking distance of a myriad of enticing eating, drinking and shopping experiences. It's an easy stroll to Emu Bank and the lake foreshore, and a short trip down arterial roads to the dynamic inner-north and the CBD.
The form is distinguished by its walls of glass and stacked balconies in sleek white. Rising eighteen stories above the city, the build is ambitious, living up to its namesake, delivering those enviable, big sky heady views. The communal areas are beautifully landscaped and feature a heated swimming pool, barbecue area and fully equipped gym.
We love the papered walls within the living and bedroom spaces?all flocked hues of emerald blue and deep green, patterned with artful loops of gold. It is a lovely pop of texture and bling amidst the otherwise paired-back neutral palette. A continual connection to landscape informing the lived experience, as open plan living drifts to outdoors and walls of glass frame the mountainous horizons.
The kitchen is ideally placed to take in the views and remain openly conversational with the social arena. Organic stone worktops meet tiled splashbacks, harmonising with banks of white cabinetry and there are quality appliances from Bosch. Think entertaining family and friends, drifting to the balcony with champagne in hand as the light fades over the mountains and the city puts on its show of twinkling lights.
The master bedroom is drenched in light from glass sliding doors that open fully to outdoors. At once open and private, this peaceful room enjoys open air and a romantic call to balcony. It is easy to imagine inspired mornings, waking to greet the first light of the day. There is also a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage.
Cleverly arranged built-in-cabinetry adorns the second bedroom walls, including an office space and pull-down murphy bed for guests. Built in robe complete this room. There is a central bathroom finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in a blend of soft nougat and pale river stone. There is plenty of storage, including a large vanity and backlit slimline mirrored shaving cabinet. Throw in a European laundry, two secure car parks and intercom access and you have an enviable city pad, seeded within a vibrant urban lifestyle.
