18/5 Kerridge Street, Kingston, ACT 2604 ying.yang

This sleek two-bedder in the Azure Complex embraces light and mountain views, shares a sophisticated minimal palette, with spacious open plan living extending to a deep balcony.

The palette combines a simple ying and yang of light and dark, as midnight black meets soft grey with pops of walnut and expanses of crisp white walls.

The home is a combo of robust cubes and gentle curving open stairwell, softened by a touch of silver birch. The foyer impresses with its warm timber batons, shiny black floors and cut away glimpses to greenery and the brutalist underside of the concrete stairs. There is secure intercom access, glass entry doors and a stainless-steel lift that whisks you to the first floor.

The open living, dining, kitchen is airy and light with high concrete ceilings and spill to that deep and private balcony. Open yet contained, the balcony is characterised by its warm timber ceiling, glass balustrade and far-reaching tree-top views, that capture both the striking architecture of the foreshore and the distant mountains.

The kitchen exudes a polished elegance and cohesion with its waterfall black stone benchtops and mix of light and walnut hues. There are quality appliances from Miele, including an integrated dishwasher and an integrated fridge, creating a seamless simplicity. We love the way the silvery glass splashback reflects light, capturing moving silhouettes and shadows.

The master bedroom connects to a large ensuite bathroom, has excellent storage and glass sliders that take you to the balcony. Both bedrooms are informed by the peace of mountain views, have soft carpet and the same voluminous high concrete ceilings that define the robust, airy feel of the whole apartment.

There is also a European laundry, lots of extra storage space and a large second bathroom. Both bathrooms are simply appointed in stylish black and white with large walk-in-showers. Throw in secure parking, video intercom access and rooftop barbecue area, and you have a dream urban lifestyle, informed by architecture, nature and culture.

The apartment is ideally placed, moments from a bevy of amazing waterside cafes, bars and restaurants.

Kingston Foreshore is famous for its mix of residential and commercial spaces right on the water's edge. Shared walkways connect to landscaped public spaces and a cornucopia of restaurants, bars and cafes. Kingston is famous for its mash up of old and new - original homes, new apartments, cafes and pubs and the new shops and restaurants of the dynamic Eyre St Market. Old Kingston is home to the famous Silo Cafe, The Durham Castle Arms, Bus Depot Markets and Canberra Glassworks. There are scenic paths through Jerrabomberra Wetlands and out to the Dairy Rd Precinct, home to Capital Brewing Co and an array of independent businesses. With easy access to transport, choice of public and private schools, the home, is also just a stone's throw from Capital Hill and the CBD.
