Belconnen ACT 2617

And it's the only apartment on the floor.

No neighbour across the hallway. No apartment immediately beside you. Just your front door, your space, and a level of privacy that's difficult to replicate in a larger development.

Inside, the apartment has recently been refreshed with new carpet, new oven and induction cooktop so you can spend less time thinking about what needs fixing and more time deciding where the couch goes.

The living area is open and filled with natural light, but what I particularly like is what you see outside

Green.

Instead of looking directly into another apartment, the outlook takes in grass, established greenery and the parkland surrounding Lake Ginninderra. The covered balcony gives you somewhere to sit amongst it, while still being only minutes from the centre of Belconnen.

The bedroom is genuinely generous for a one-bedroom apartment, with a full-length built-in robe and two large windows bringing in more of that natural light. There's also a dedicated study nook, giving your laptop somewhere to live without sacrificing the dining table.

Then there's a feature that probably won't make the hero photograph, but for the right buyer could be one of the best things about the apartment.
The car space is oversized.

Combined with the higher basement clearance, there's considerably more breathing room for a larger vehicle or ute than you'll find in many newer apartment developments. There's also a lockable storage cage for the tools, camping gear, bike, Christmas decorations and everything else you don't necessarily want upstairs.

The Shores itself has deliberately avoided filling the complex with facilities you may never use. There isn't a resort pool or elaborate residents' lounge to maintain. Instead, you get a smaller-scale development beside Lake Ginninderra, with Westfield Belconnen, restaurants, transport and everyday amenities all close by.

For someone buying their first home, particularly if you're doing it on your own, there's a lot here that makes sense.

Your own floor.
Your own outlook.
A car space that actually fits something substantial.
And a home that's ready for you to turn the key.
