620/74 Northbourne Avenue, Braddon, ACT 2612

You will be hard pressed to find a better value 2 bedroom unit this close to the City with such a tranquil vista.

Currently its part of the Adina Serviced Scheme meaning it's a zero-hassle investment with zero vacancy and a solid weekly income making it positively geared (depending on your bank loan rate). Investing in property does not get any easier than this and its an excellent option a self-managed super fund like the current owner is doing.

However, with 90 days notice (sometimes less), the unit can be removed from the serviced scheme and either rented out on a 12m lease privately or through an agency. In addition a live in owner can move in and have this single level abode all to themselves at a price point not normally seen in this location (so close to the City Centre) for 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and an allocated car space.

With over 80m2 of living and set on the corner of the building over a single level, its 6th level position away from Northbourne Avenue ensures peace and privacy and the outlook from the covered balcony to Mt Ainslie and the swimming pool below is a lovely spot to enjoy all year round. Other facilities of the building you (or your tenants) will benefit from include a sauna, gym and lift access from basement and ground direct to your level so no stairs to navigate.
