44/25 Fawkner Street

Braddon ACT 2612

This beautiful two-bedder sits peacefully on the second floor, a virtual oasis within the city, a few steps from Lonsdale, an easy stroll to the CBD. There is a lightness here, a spatial balance and a symbiotic relationship with nature as open living drifts to deep balcony, overlooking the green expanse of Haig Park.

This characterful low-form multi-res sits across from heritage Shakespeare Hall and the iconic Lewis Hall with its inspiring modernist lines. This is classic Braddon, where tree-lined streets, grand old homes mix with vibrant new eateries, independent businesses, housed in a mix of industrial and schmick new builds.

A simple feeling of home, as restrained and nuanced spaces are informed by banks of glazing, warming northern light. Expanses of whitewashed walls let you express yourself freely with curated photography, posters, art. Wall hung timber boxes, shelving, create moments, dioramas of practical and aesthetic joy, favourite wine bottles, bagged coffee beans, favourite objects.

Wide hybrid timber floorboards coalesce with soft ceramic tiling, in a sensitive re-furb that effortlessly blends the old and the new. A seamless contemporary kitchen occupies one corner with eucalypt cabinetry topped with broad earthy stone worktops. Think neat rows of glassware on linear shelves and enough space to roll up your sleeves, the open design keeping the dialogue flowing, to-and-fro, from kitchen to dining table.

The elevated terrace plays a key role, becoming an additional room, gifting sheltered communion within the open air. A rustically hewn bench is perfect for a barbecue, potted herbs. Alone or with friends, the park so close you can almost touch it.

Crisp white tiling is set against a black framed shower with golden threads of brushed brass and warm timber. The bathroom combined laundry reading like a large airy room, with the perfect blend of industrial edginess and welcoming comfort.

Two spacious bedrooms frame the evergreens, as large windows welcome a gentle light. The master with wall of built-in-cabinetry to conceal all your stuff, and the second bedroom capturing views along Girrawheen Street, a distant glimpse of Mount Ainslie.

This gentle apartment is and easy stroll to the independent eateries, shops and bars of the buzzing Braddon precinct. Surrounded by green spaces including Haig Park and Mt Ainslie Reserve, the home is also handy to Dickson and the popular Ainslie shops. Close to transport including light rail, providing fast links to all of Canberra, the home is a stone's throw from the ANU, New Acton and the CBD.
