Simple harmony and lovely light engender a home to rest, reflect and restore. Brilliantly positioned to take full advantage of the city's best offerings, this delightful one-bedder is part refuge, part dynamic urban pad. Stroll to the happenings of the Braddon precinct by night or by day. Amble to the CBD or nature bathe in local parks and endless bushland Reserve.
The Vail is a low-level boutique development that sits across from Haig Park. The complex offers both a swimming pool and a playground. The smooth rendered form works in contrast with a dramatic central wall of glass, flooding the foyer with wonderful light. And the locale is perfect ? the whole inner north is famed for its quaint village centres, eateries and caf?'s, leafy streets and shady biking paths. Braddon serving up a dynamic mix of boutique retail and hospitality destinations, all within a mash of re-furbed industrial buildings and striking contemporary architectural builds. There is a vibe?relaxed caf? scenes, street vendors, great bakeries, yoga studios and a mix of tempting cuisines.
The apartment is arranged in an open plan, spilling to an elevated balcony that drinks in treetops and sunshine. Walls are painted a soothing creamy white and there is splash of warming caramel tones. We love the muntin windows and doors, their multi-panes of glass framing the landscape like so many framed pictures. And the generous open arrangement, serving up enough space for comfy couches and a table set for plenty. Imagine hanging with friends, drifting to outside to relax in the sunshine and the sounds of nature.
The kitchen is finished in light timber, with dove grey worktops and a neatly tiled splash back in crisp white. There are earthy ceramic floors, lots of storage and electric appliances, including a dishwasher. This warm hub fosters connection through sharing, think easy nourishing meals, dinner parties or instant gourmet takeaway from the Lonsdale strip.
The bedroom has excellent built-in-storage and overlooks the swimming pool, lending a lovely holiday vibe. A generous bathroom sits adjacent, simply finished in crisp whites with a corner spa bath. Throw in secure intercom entry, basement parking with storage, and you have an easy-care lifestyle, enviably connected to all the best that the inner north and Canberra has to offer.
The home is just a few steps from Haig Park and an easy walk to Lonsdale Street, famous for its eclectic range of restaurants, cafes, unique boutiques, fantastic coffee, and thriving bars. This dynamic central locale also places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, Melbourne Centre, New Acton precinct and O'Connor shops. The home is also close to transport including the light rail and metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
