116/61 John Gorton Drive, Wright, ACT 2611

There's an underrated luxury to living on the ground floor.

At 116/61 John Gorton Drive, that ease starts here.

This is a no-fuss two-bedroom apartment that's recently been repainted, with a new induction cooktop added to the kitchen and a layout that makes everyday living pretty straightforward.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area sits at the centre of the home, with stone benchtops, good storage and direct connection outside.

And outside is where things get interesting.

The apartment has 81sqm of internal living and an 82sqm courtyard.

Yes, the outside is technically bigger than the inside.

Partially covered and wrapping around the apartment, there's room here for the outdoor table, barbecue and lounge without having to choose between them. There's space for pots and planting, or you could finally graduate from a few herbs on the windowsill and create proper veggie patches.

For an apartment, that's a lot of dirt to call your own.

Both bedrooms include built-in storage, while the main bedroom has its own ensuite and direct access outside. It's a small detail that makes the courtyard feel genuinely connected to the home rather than something tacked onto the living room.

There are also two secure basement car spaces and a storage cage, reverse cycle heating and cooling, and being on the ground floor means you're not dependent on the lift every time you come and go.

When summer arrives, there is one shared amenity you'll probably be very happy to have.

The residents' pool.

It's there when Canberra inevitably hits one of those properly hot summer afternoons, without you having to maintain one in your own backyard.

And that's probably the balance this apartment gets right.

You still get the simplicity of apartment living.

But you also get enough outdoor space to plant something, entertain properly, sit in the sun and occasionally forget you're living in an apartment at all.
