Last Listing description (June 2026)

In the 60s ,70s and 80s Canberra enjoyed the creative design influences of some stunning architecture creators. Macquarie Court in Barton is one of those residential wonders located in our country's National Capital parliamentary precinct.

The complex has an excellent pedigree since it was built in 1985 with post-modernist design and an abundance of space and the intelligent ways of incorporating as much natural sunlight as possible for its apartment's interior residences enjoyment.

Apartment 17 is an amazingly unique two-level apartment with the joys of an open void space inter-connecting the two levels to encourage as much natural light as possible into the living areas.

It can comfortably be considered as a 3-bedroom en-suite study executive apartment or as a 3 bedroom ens apartment with three living spaces if that suits your needs more by allowing the second upper-level space to act as a second sun filled lounge-room.
