If you want the calm of lakeside living without giving up the convenience of the town centre, this spacious top floor apartment delivers both.
Set within the established Shores complex, the apartment enjoys a prized north facing aspect, beautiful natural light and elevated views across the surrounding parkland towards Lake Ginninderra. With only six apartments sharing the stairwell, it also offers a welcome sense of privacy.
The open plan living and dining area is impressively proportioned, giving you the freedom to create distinct spaces for relaxing, dining and entertaining. Large windows draw in the sunshine, while sliding doors connect the entire living zone to a full width balcony.
At approximately 21sqm, the balcony is a genuine extension of the home. There is plenty of room for an outdoor setting, barbecue and plants, all while enjoying the leafy outlook and northern sun.
The central kitchen keeps everything connected and includes generous bench space, a breakfast bar, electric cooking, dishwasher and excellent storage. Both bedrooms are generously sized and include built in wardrobes, with the main bedroom featuring its own ensuite. A second bathroom, european laundry, linen storage and split system heating and cooling add further practicality. A secure basement car space and separate storage cage complete the apartment.
Lake Ginninderra's walking and cycling paths are just moments away, while Westfield Belconnen, cafés, restaurants, cinemas, government offices and the bus interchange are all within an easy walk. The University of Canberra, North Canberra Hospital and major roads into the city are also close by, making this a standout choice for buyers seeking space, sunlight and everyday convenience.
