Rising beside the green lawns of Glebe Park, all signature curves and glass, the building lives up to its name, evoking sophistication and that touch of class. Manhattan on the Park is set amongst the vibrant happenings of the city and offers up an enviable lifestyle. Surrounded by natural elements - parkland, lake, mountain reserve ? the home is also seeded within some of the best eating, drinking and shopping experiences that Canberra has to offer.
The home is perfectly positioned between the Casino, Glebe Park and the Canberra Centre. To the northeast you have the garden delights of vintage Reid, Ainslie Village and Mt Ainslie with its endless hiking trails. This central locale easily delivers a connected lifestyle, embedded within the vibrancy of the city and the edgy Braddon precinct, while offering the serenity of nature, right at your doorstep.
This generously proportioned, fully furnished, one-bedder is arranged in an open plan and spills to a deep balcony that captures views of the Casino and the Brindabellas. The wonderful amenities include secure parking, indoor swimming pool and fully equipped gym. Thinking grabbing a coffee from Mingle Espresso Bar after your morning workout, perhaps taking in the glassy surface of the lake, as you wander the walking and biking trails that hug the landscaped shores.
Inside it is all elegant sophistication, as dark framed glazing's welcome light and aspect and notes of midnight black and rich timber usher in moody tone and texture. Banks of glass sliders welcome light and give way to a deep balcony, forging an open-air connection with the landscape. Sunlight bounces off the crisp white walls and soft carpet stretches underfoot, contributing to the overall feel of luxury, airiness and space.
Dark stone glitters against banks of white cabinetry, the central island calling forth the nighttime stars?a splashback black as raven. The kitchen a paired-back marriage of light and dark, with a pop of earthy timber. There are quality appliances from Bosch including electric oven, gas hob and microwave and the conversational openness across the social domain is wonderfully perfect for convivial times with with family and friends.
The bedroom spills to balcony so sleeping is informed by cross-breeze and that big starry sky feel. There is a built-in-robe to keep things effortlessly minimal and an easy connection to the generous bathroom. Black tile floors meet pure white walls, and a European laundry is seamlessly incorporated. The shower is roomy and there is plenty of storage within the mirrored shaving cabinet which sits above the white simplicity of the wall hung basin.
The Metropolitan building is perfectly situated within the heart of the CBD and beside the leafy Glebe Park, moments from the Casino, Canberra Centre and Lake Burly Griffin. The celebrated Braddon precinct is just a short stroll away and it is not far to the artful New Acton hub. The home connects you to significant cultural offerings ? Anzac Parade, War Memorial, Theatre, Gorman House Arts Centre and an endless choice of dynamic eateries, bars and cafes, a cornucopia of shopping and entertainment experiences.
