117/102 Giles Street, Kingston, ACT 2604

At the water's edge and on the doorstop of old Kingston, private and serene yet engaged with an inner city dynamism, elevated and well proportioned. This sophisticated two bedder floats you above the village laneways of the foreshore and embraces an indoor outdoor way of being. Afternoon sunlight reaches deep into the plan, patterning the walls and street trees change their colours across the seasons. The home echoing the natural restraint of the ordered modernity and understatement of its surroundings - serene white walls, warm timber, notes of muted grey.

Think the pleasure of open plan living, spilling to a generous north-westerly balcony, allowing you to privately engage with the comings and goings of the street below. The apartment ideally housed on the top floor of an elegant multi-res that reads like a sophisticated townhouse. As you climb the glowing stairwell there is the feeling of being delivered to the sky - the glass wall transparent and alive with landscape. And the location is special, seeded in all the foodie and cultural options of Kingston both old and new, with lake side walking, significant cultural buildings and easy access to the CBD.

The home feels effortless from the get-go, as high ceilings create depth, conspiring with the generous spatiality and walls of glass that extend and exaggerate the sense of space. The kitchen is seamless, the splash back a moody reflection of light and movement. Stone worktops evoke speckled eggshell and hybrid timber floors feel warm underfoot. Quality appliances from Smeg combine with an integrated dishwasher from Omega to get the job done, so you can entertain with ease.

The foyer and broad hallway cleverly incorporates space for storing shoes, dumping keys and tech and working from home is take care of via a specialised study nook. Both bedrooms overlook the central shared gardens to the east, where oak and magnolia trees deliver a forested feel. The master has an ensuite bathroom and both bedrooms have ample built-in-storage. Feature mosaic walls imbue both the ensuite and second bathroom with subtle texture. The second bathroom has a bathtub and the ensuite a roomy, open shower space. Both vanities are generous, topped with stone, while earthy brown floors add to the sacred mood.

Kingston is famous for its wide tree lined streets, parklands, and lovely combo of old and new homes. The apartment is part of the dynamic Foreshore Development, delivering you to a social life informed by dynamic cafe's, restaurants and bars that front the Lake's edge. It is an easy meander to all the iconic offerings of old Kingston…think Silo Bakery, Green Square, Durham Castle Arms Pub and new kid on the block, Eyre Street Market. A scenic bike ride through wet lands delivers you to the Dairy Road Precinct and iconic Manuka is not far away. Throw in Heritage listed Manuka swimming pool, Telopea Park, a surrounding of significant cultural offerings, The Bus Depot Markets and the nearby Parliamentary triangle and you have absolutely everything you could ever need, right your doorstep. With easy access to transport, choice of public and private schools, the home, is also just a stone's throw from the CBD
