A very well-designed layout maximises the abundance of natural light that flows into the living and bedroom areas resulting in a lovely sense of space and connectivity to the outside environment. This is further enhanced by a very generous balcony with stunning and uninterrupted views towards Black Mountain Tower and the City.
A further feature of this property, and not often found in many two-bedroom floorplans in this complex, is a separate second living space which could provide practical usage as a study or sitting area.
The main living and dining areas are light-filled and the open plan design provides connectivity to the kitchen, which is highlighted by a modern contrasting colour scheme and features a stone benchtop finish with a functional breakfast bar and a good amount of storage.
Both bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and with two separate bathrooms (main with ensuite), a European-style laundry and good-sized linen cupboard storage, living practicalities are well accounted for.
In addition to the secure basement tandem carparking and lockable storage cage, the complex features over 6000sqm of landscaped surrounds designed by the renowned Jamie Durie including fire pits, BBQ areas and outdoor entertainment spaces.
The Observatory Living complex location is simply hard to beat, with easy access to some of Canberra's main arterial roads providing quick and direct linkages in all directions to the City, Belconnen, Woden and Tuggeranong.
