16/12 National Circuit, Barton, ACT 2600

With elegant light-filled interior living spaces opening out to an expansive private wrap-around terrace garden, this spacious ground floor apartment in the highly regarded 'The National' complex is located conveniently near the Parliamentary Triangle's key departmental offices and company headquarters, and the exclusive shopping and dining precincts of Kingston and Manuka.

Positioned on the corner of the building and surrounded by mature trees providing shade in summer and sunlight in winter. Sliding doors pull back to expand the living space out onto the paved terrace with well-established planter boxes – just the perfect place for entertaining family and friends.

On entering the apartment, the colour palette incorporating soft linen curtains and limed solid oak floating timber floors creates an immediate impression of calm and contemporary style.

The galley-style timber kitchen is well equipped with a Bosch induction cook top and electric oven, microwave hutch, dishwasher, and breakfast bar for those informal midweek family style meals.

Open plan living creates a sense of space with a segregated main bedroom, walk through robe and ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have built in robes. All the bedrooms have their own access onto the apartment's lush and very private terrace garden.

The main bathroom has a separate shower, bath, toilet, and a double vanity.

A large study with bookcase offers a quiet space for working from home or studying.

Other features include a laundry room with electric hot water service, cloak cupboard, linen press, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, video intercom for visitors, automatic irrigation to the garden beds and your own street access via a security-coded gate onto Brisbane Avenue.
