There's something rather lovely about being this close to the city and looking completely the other way. It's a rare thing, feeling this private and removed while still sitting on the pulse of Canberra's vibrant CBD.From the fifth floor, uninterrupted views run out over treetops and rooftops to Black Mountain and Telstra Tower. Light pours into the apartment through the day, and it's easy to imagine how good sunsets would look from here, the sky catching colour over the mountain as the day winds down.Inside, the open-plan living and dining spills onto the covered balcony, where sliding privacy and shade panelling pulls across when the afternoon sun or the weather calls for a bit more shelter. It's a lovely spot for a morning coffee or a glass of wine after work, doors open, the mountain sitting there in the background.The kitchen anchors the whole space, with an island bench that's just as good for breakfast as it is for dinner prep, and plenty of under-bench storage to keep it all tucked away.Two bedrooms make this as easy to live in as it is practical. Keep the second for guests, claim it as your office, or give everyone their own room; either way, both come with built-in robes. The ensuite catches natural light through the floor-to-ceiling glazing in the master, while the main bathroom pairs a European laundry with a large vanity, plenty of bench space for the hair dryer, the straightener, a full skincare regime. Neither bathroom feels like a compromise.And then there's where it sits.After-work dinner and drinks has never been easier, with countless options just minutes from home, and Dickson, ANU and the rest of the Inner North are all on your doorstep besides. A location like this probably leaves your car secured in the basement garage until a road trip takes you out of town, and when you come home, the city falls away behind you and Black Mountain comes back into view.Features Fifth-floor position with views towards Black Mountain and Telstra Tower Two bedrooms with built-in robes Two bathrooms, including ensuite to the main bedroom Open-plan kitchen, living and dining Covered balcony with movable privacy/weather screening Modern kitchen with island bench and excellent storage European-style laundry Reverse-cycle air conditioning Floor-to-ceiling glazing connecting the living space to the outlook Single car space in the secure basement Walking distance to Dickson Interchange and light rail Easy access to Braddon, the city, Dickson and ANU Available with TV, TV Unit, Fridge, Microwave, Washing Machine and DryerFINE DETAILS (all approximate): Living size: 69m2 (approx.)Balcony size: 13 m2 EER: 6 Build year: 2020StrataAdmin fund: $727.39 p/qSinking fund: $125.56 p/qTotal: $852.95 p/q Rates: $507 pq UV: $10,500,000 (2025)Number of units in complex: 176 (Residential and Commercial)Rental Opinion: $650 pw *Digitally styled images: some furniture and dcor has been digitally added for illustrative purposes only.
