501/2 Batman Street

Braddon ACT 2612

This stunning three-bedroom apartment is housed within the Founders Lane development, a vibrant inner-city precinct, that combines, residential, commercial and community spaces. With a range of cafes, quirky pop-up's, rooftop barbecue, shared herb garden, private residence lounge and a connecting series of central courtyards, there are a variety of spaces to retreat or connect. Sit with friends on the architecturally designed seating, enjoying the public art on display, celebrate the city skyline with champagne, read beneath the shade of the American Elm.

The calm, neutral palette is enhanced beautifully by the combo of tones, textures - white on white, timber, stone, soft carpets, grey ceramics - furthering the felt sense of spaciousness and ease. Attention to detail is evident at every turn, from the stone worktops, Smeg appliances, ample storage including built-in-robes to all three bedrooms, to the waterfall showers and heated towel racks.

Arranged in a generous open plan, incorporating a study nook, the social domain is privileged by a fabulous transparency. Glass sliders can be flung open, expanding the living space to the outdoor room. Think entertaining, the table set for plenty, a feeling of being suspended within the landscape, the twinkling of emerging city lights.

The master has a wall of glass welcoming light and aspect, opens onto the winter garden and enjoys a private ensuite bathroom. Sequestered on the opposing side are two generous bedrooms that connect to a luxe family bathroom with twin basins, roomy glass shower. Bedroom two also faces north and floats within the skyline, connecting directly to the central, sunlit garden room. Both bathrooms are finished in wall-to-ceiling tiling in an organic palette of textured grey and warm oak.

The apartment is positioned on the cusp of the city, within Braddon and alongside Reid, Ainslie and just a few steps from the Canberra Centre. This whole inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, entertainment options. It is a few steps to Gorman House Arts centre, an easy stroll to the Lonsdale scene and seconds from all the offerings of the CBD. There is a surrounding of heritage suburbs, green spaces, including the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie reserve. The home is also close to the ANU, the light rail and the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
