Are you tired of living in a "cooped up" multi-storied, noisy block of flats, or high rise towers with no privacy, no garden or greenery, or living in an apartment facing noisy road? Do you rather have an alternative life, i.e, wake up in the morning, melodiously carolled by the birds, then stroll up to the Dickson shopping centre for morning coffee/breakfast? Even better - after being woken up by the sweet songs of the birds, make your breakfast, step into your own private garden with fish pond surrounded by wattle and gum trees and partake it amongst chattering birds and swimming fish. Either way, the choice of enjoying this magical location/lifestyle is yours!

Welcome to the studio, aptly named "sanctuary," because it is quiet and serene, surrounded by lush native greenery, and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Situated in a spectacular street with a thick canopy of trees housing many birds, you will love this location.

This independently located studio (see pic) is basically one large room (6mx6m) with a portable partition for bedroom and high ceilings. Within this room is a full kitchen on the right with space for washing machine under the bench. The enclosed room with the door is the bathroom. The studio's best feature is the private garden. There are two massive rain water tanks that will reduce water bills. The ideal tenant is a "nature-loving" person who appreciates privacy, outdoor activity, garden, and the water features.

The studio has a double-sided lockable gate, a rarely found feature. You can lock the gate when going to work, providing additional security. With such a gated-entrance, fenced off on all four sides, it is like a fortress. You can be the king/queen of your own little castle and relax in total privacy and comfort.

In addition, the edkins-park is just a few meters away. The leaves changing colour will remind you of the four changing seasons of Canberra. You will not find another studio closer to the city area/Dickson precinct in a park-like-setting like this one.

Dickson shopping center has a buzzing array of cafes, china-town spice shops, restaurants, medical services, baby clinic, sporting facilities, public library, swimming pool. You can also easily cycle to ADFA, Australian National University, Catholic University, Russell, CSIRO.
