48/1 Allambee Street

Reid ACT 2612

Double brick walls buffer noise, separating the bustle of the city from the sanctuary of inside.
Leadlight glass glows green and red in the sunlight and new carpet adorns the stairwell. No. 48 is housed on the second floor and opens to balconies at each end. Internal brick walls have been painted whisper white and new carpeting stretches warm underfoot. The ceilings are high and the proportions generous. The brand new kitchen, laundry and bathrooms introduce a luxe contemporary flair, enhancing the overall feeling of effortlessness.

The open living, dining extends to the north facing balcony, taking in treetops, sky and plenty of daylight. The romance of the electric fireplace is perfect for gathering, sharing a drink or two, on cool winter evenings and the dining space, connected openly to the kitchen, is the perfect arena for intimate dinner parties, relaxed family meals and new air conditioning completes this area.

We love the green tiled splashback, its delicate, textured patterning and the banks of white cabinetry providing a spot for everything. The appliances are from Bosch and the ceramic floors mimic natural wood. This signature theme is continued within the opulent bathrooms and laundry, creating a soothing and consistent design thread.

The master bedroom, with walk through robe and ensuite, opens to the rear balcony, with views to flowering camelias and the treetops of old Reid. Two more bedrooms, both framing leafy outlooks and one opening to balcony, centre around a family bathroom. Both bathrooms are awash in floor to ceiling marbled ceramic and the family bathroom delivers a relaxing, freestanding bathtub.

Established trees, decorative lampposts dot lush lawnsthe shared gardens both intimate and welcoming. Think time to self, nature bathing or gathering with family and friends for a drink or two before heading out into the city, by day or night.

The apartment is positioned on the cusp of the city, within Reid, alongside Braddon, close to Ainslie, and just a few steps from the Canberra Centre. Reid is known for its history, garden city vernacular, quality heritage homes, delightful pathways connecting green spaces and strong community vibe. This dynamic inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, and entertainment options. The home is across the road from Gorman House Arts centres, close to the Canberra Theatre Centre, the ANU, CIT, Glebe Park and the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie reserve - all the best that central Canberra has to offer, is within easy reach. Handy to schools, colleges and with immediate access to transport, including the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
