Braddon ACT 2612

#soldbyholly $985,000This elegant three-bedroom townhouse presents like a private sanctuary in addition to its inner city qualifications, moments from the Braddon hub and an easy stroll to the CBD. Tucked away and open to green commons on one side, the home is quite the secluded haven. There is the perfect northern orientation and a wonderful connection to outdoors. A host of windows perfectly frames the open landscape and the home is bookended by leafy courtyards.The master bedroom is expansive, sun-drenched; the ensuite crisp white and all-aglow. A wall of glass allows you to dream amidst the trees and a glazed door provides access to a broad and private balcony. Evening cocktails here we come or perhaps an indulgent nightcap before bedtime and a whole lot of star gazing on the elevated balcony.ARC is a boutique development with a highly coveted mix of apartments and townhouses. No.17 is part of an exclusive row of 5 townhouses and occupies a privileged corner position. Setback, well away from the Ijong streetscape, the home is found via a pathway, edged with cascading jasmine. The ARC community is a collaborative mix of largely professional occupants who love their shared common garden and value the sustainability of the site including on-site composting a recycling scheme and a supportive approach to solar installations and EV's. The strata has some of the lowest levies in the precinct.Whilst living is arrayed across two impressive levels, this superior townhome offers extensive amenity with a third basement level of unprecedented space in the complex, including generous double car parking enclosed on three sides, secure wine storage facility in the temperature-capped basement and an extraordinarily large separate storeroom with existing shelving.We love the pitched terracotta rooftop, the stately pencil pine and olive trees that grace the courtyard, lending a Mediterranean feel. Within, timber floors stretch to meet crisp white walls and big windows frame nature at every turn. Living, dining and cooking are arranged in an open plan, drifting to alfresco living within the secluded courtyard and sunny, north facing garden. The kitchen delivers seamless storage, speckled stone worktops and all electric appliances, including a premium dishwasher. There is a separate laundry neatly tucked away to one side and to the rear of the plan, two peaceful bedrooms. Both rooms have built-in-robes and lovely aspects. Bedroom two spills to a secluded courtyard, providing a lovely nook for morning coffee. There is also an elegant family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate toilet.Floating above is the master bedroom which delivers privacy, space and that lovely indoor/outdoor experience. Throw in basement parking for two, a huge storage room and approved plans for adding a roller door to fully enclose the twin parking spots, and you have easy, secure living at its elegant best. A gate provides access from the rear courtyard to landscaped communal gardens- think tables under trees, a peaceful, leafy enclave in the heart of the city, summer barbecues, socialising with neighbours. Ijong St is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including the pine tree dotted Haig Park and the nearby biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its fabulous IGA and gastro pub.
