16/28 Watson Street, Turner, ACT 2612

This tranquil one-bedder is decidedly sunny and spacious, with its lofty views and deep balcony that floats you among trees, rooftops, and mountainous horizons. A lovely mood of remove belies the blue ribbon locale- heart of the inner north, well-connected to a myriad of foodie and shopping experiences, nudging the Braddon hub, the ANU, and CBD. Think a life of abundance- urban, cultural, creative, informed by nature. Imagine ready access to ample green spaces, shared walking and bike paths, historic trees, bushland trails, and the dreamy paths that hug the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.

Clean lines meet a Mediterranean warmth, the elegant form rising from a broad street with lots of parking and rows of Evie charging stations. Beds of sweet-smelling jasmine crowd the footpath, and flowering aloe vera informs the broad entryway, ushering to walls of glazings that drench the spacious foyer with a light-filled transparency. We love the clear views into the expansive communal gardens that lie beyond, think timber seats that invite rest beneath the dappled shade of significant trees and tall pencil pines standing sentinel against blue skies.

The home sits on the second and top floor and enjoys the perfect north-easterly orientation. There is a welcoming feel of light and space from the get-go as big glazings frame the landscape and sunlight paints the brand-new carpet golden. The soothing organic materiality sits back and lets nature do the talking, think freshly painted whisper white walls and a laid-back combo of speckled stone, crisp whites, and finely grained timber notes.

The contemporary galley-style kitchen communes openly with the tranquility of the living and dining area, all spilling out to the outdoors, and those breathtaking views. Banks of cabinetry gift a spot for everything, and stone worktops stretch to meet a tiled splash back in warm latte. Clever storage solutions speak of curated ease - a roomy coat cupboard, seamless European laundry with a washer and dryer, and a wall of built-in robes within the bedroom.

Light and aspect bless the bedroom with its glass sliders that allow you to spill balcony side, where visiting birds, leafy peace is romanced by soft morning light. The adjacent bathroom is roomy and minimal, finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white, earthed by ceramic floors. Throw in secure basement parking, and you have a dream lifestyle…wonderful neighbours, great community, enviable old Turner position - flanked by Haig Park, overlooking Turner Parkland, and a leafy stroll to O'Connor Village Shops.

Catch up with friends, dining in your own private oasis, or meander through leafy parkland to the fabulous O'Connor shops with local favs including Flatheads for fish and chips and The Duxton for street-side eating and live music. Stroll to the Braddon precinct, with its myriads of unique restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping experiences. The home is also close to private and public schools, the ANU, transport including light rail and the new metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
