$660,000+
You can stand on the northern balcony, Mt Ainslie to your right, manicured gardens to your left, and straight ahead the storied appeal of the build, think neat rows of dormer doorways spilling to relaxed courtyards enclosed by square-topped picket fencing. It is this winning combo of character, aspect, and community that makes no. 16 special - tucked away in a leafy corner and serving up spacious, easy-care living right in the heart of the city.
This balanced two-bedder occupies the first floor of the coveted Devonport development - moments from Haig Park and a leafy stroll to the Lonsdale hub. There is a touch of the English Village at play - tumbled brick, Edwardian proportions, peaked rooftops. It all falls in line with the old meets new, industrial meets architectural, vibe of Braddon with its creative spirit, local markets, and cornucopia of innovative restaurants, cafés, bars, and boutiques.
Northern light reaches deep into the open plan, and the neutral scheme creates a pocket of calm. Glass sliders can be flung open to embrace the deep balcony, extending the depth of space and blurring the boundaries between inside and out. The kitchen sits neatly in one corner, all stone worktops and reflective glass splash back. There is ample storage, including a full-height pantry and quality all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher.
The master bedroom is generous, has a wall of built-in robes, and the privacy of an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has great storage and sits close to a large family bathroom with a bathtub. Both bathrooms are pared-back affairs that cohere with the soothing simplicity of the whole apartment. Throw in a seamless European laundry and secure parking, and you have the perfect inner-city abode, part refuge, part launching pad for connection, collaboration and exploration.
Ijong St is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of foodie, drinking, exercise, and cultural offerings while delivering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including the pine-tree-dotted Haig Park and the nearby biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. It is a relaxed stroll to the Braddon Precinct and not far to Ainslie Village and the Dickson hub. You can walk to the CBD from here, while nearby bus and light rail stops allow you to ditch the car, easily exploring the whole of Canberra.
