Bespoke timber joinery and fixed furniture pieces are a defining feature, ushering in a dash of mid-century modern sophistication and gifting excellent utility and storage. The honeyed tones of the timber, complimented by soft new carpets, ceramic tiling and stone, bringing an intimacy and warmth to the home's airy expanses.
This elegant and oversized 133m2 two-bedder is a celebration of light and aspect, openly embracing landscape, spilling to long balconies on both sides. High ceilings and walls of glass add to the felt sense of generosity and scale. The home a peaceful refuge, effortlessly gifting an outdoorsy bliss with 34m2 of outside space, despite the cosmopolitan location.
The Space development has aged well, in that way of classic design?the form nestled within established gardens and rising above Forbes Street, all layers of white concrete and glass. No.7 occupies the corner building, edged on two sides by curated gardens?green hedged walls, rows of agapanthus, grove of pencil pines. We love the simplicity of the black floors, the chrome edged glass doors and the open stairwell, graced by walls of glass, flooding the entry sequence with sunshine.
The open plan social domain is made special by fixed furniture pieces ? a long console table and matching inset dresser, both exemplary works of joinery, lustrous amidst a sea of white on white. The glorious, sunlit living, dining and kitchen spilling to western alfresco terrace?think sunsets and long summer evenings spent cooling amidst treetop breezes.
The kitchen is large, arrayed in a galley style?openly conversational, with a central timber hutch for discretion and curated display. Banks of drawers and cabinets provide a spot for everything and there are quality appliances from Smeg, including an integrated dishwasher, making entertaining a breeze. Again, considered choices make a difference, the concordant timber notes, the use of stone and stainless steel worktops and the opaque glass splashback, capturing light and leaf play.
Two generous bedrooms sit in perfect balance on the eastern side and are accessed via broad hallways that maximise function ? on one side there is a tailored office nook and on the other a seamless European laundry. Both bedrooms drift to a long balcony with louvred shades to control light and air. From here you can look out over the silvery silhouettes of so many birches, purveying the peaceful gardens below.
The master bedroom offers up a walk-thru-robe and elegant ensuite, while the second bedroom has a wall of built-in-cabinetry and sits adjacent to a second bathroom with a relaxing bathtub. Both ensuite and family bathroom are finished in floor to ceiling tiling in simple white, with a pops of taupe, stone and timber.
You can access Northbourne avenue via garden paths that travel beneath a sanctuary of silver birches, flourishing tree ferns. The home within easy reach of the Braddon precinct and the CBD, moments from the boutique eateries of O'Connor, whisper close to the ANU and New Acton. Haig Park offers repose beneath shady pines and there are endless biking and walking paths, including the scenic trails of O'Connor Ridge and Lake Burley Griffin. O'Connor shops are close by for bowls, hilarity and drinks with friends at The Ruc or you can explore the international cuisine at the famous Dickson precinct. Transport is close to hand, including the light rail, connecting with the metro city station and linking you to the whole of Canberra.
