145/8 Jardine Street, Kingston, ACT 2604

Located directly opposite the Kingston shops, and with the Parliamentary triangle and City Centre only a short drive away, this attractive, fully single level, one-bedroom apartment leaves you spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes, restaurants, boutique stores, markets, and galleries. Plus, for those who enjoy the outdoors, Lake Burley Griffin and Telopea Park are just a short walk away.
Positioned within 'The Griffin' complex with its lush, manicured gardens, on-site gym and restricted entry underground carpark, this apartment is ideal for either the live-in-owner or astute investor. Featuring a light and airy open plan living area, balcony, kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone bench tops, and a floor-to-ceiling double mirrored wardrobe, this abode is both stylish and functional and offers care-free living at it best.

Investors can take advantage of low vacancy rates with an expected rental return of around $550 per week fully furnished. This apartment is perfect for either a long-term tenant or as an Airbnb/short term letting for potentially even better weekly returns. Live in owners wanting an affordable entry into the Inner South can also be calling this home sooner than they think as early access may be facilitated for those needing to move in quickly.

Make sure to watch our detailed, walk-through video prior to your inspection (and after), it's our 24/7 salesperson for you to get an excellent feel for the features and benefits of this unit inside and out including a tour of the carpark, gym and podium. It's the most informative property video you will watch during your search, but don't just take our word for it…
