Please read on for a little bit more about the apartment, why I bought it in the first place and what I enjoy about it.

I wanted somewhere north-facing with plenty of natural light in ever season. In winter, the sun streams through the windows and warms the living spaces naturally and in summer, the windows let a breeze through and cool the apartment down. I wanted privacy, and the mature trees outside provide exactly that. I wanted to be close enough to walk into Braddon and Civic whenever I felt like it, without feeling like I was living in the middle of the rat race. And I wanted a home that was easy to maintain, so my weekends could be spent enjoying Canberra and its beautiful surrounds rather than looking after a property.

Four years later, those are still my favourite things about the apartment; but there are so many other things I like about it as well.

One of the things that surprised me most was just how spacious the apartment is. My partner and I both worked from home and comfortably fit two full-sized desks in there without it feeling cramped. The apartment also comfortably fit a king-sized bed, a dining table, an electric piano, a large couch, several guitars, a sizeable spirits collection and a very contented cat.

A lot happened here too. I recovered from surgery in this apartment. I watched the Raiders go out in straight sets in the 2025 NRL finals in this apartment. I entertained countless friends and family here.

I could walk to work in Civic, and at the end of the day, as I walked home, I'd often spot my cat sitting in the window waiting for me. I spent countless afternoons sitting in the winter sun as it streamed through the windows, and countless evenings enjoying the fact that I could walk into Braddon for dinner and be home again just as quick.

These are just a few of the reasons I've loved living here. I could go on, but this is a property listing, not my memoir.
It has been a wonderful home, and I hope whoever buys it enjoys living here as much as I have.

My name is Jason and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the apartment.
