94/5 Light Street, Griffith, ACT 2603

Set high on a prized northern corner of the tightly held Renaissance development, this three-bedroom sub-penthouse delivers the sort of apartment lifestyle that is difficult to replicate in Canberra. Built in 2024 and positioned mere metres from the heart of Manuka, it combines an intelligent, segregated floorplan with an enormous 75m² wraparound balcony and remarkable 270-degree views taking in Parliament House, Manuka Oval, Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie. For downsizers or busy professionals wanting space, privacy and genuine walk-out-the-door convenience, it is an impressive proposition.

Morning starts with sunlight streaming through the northern windows, coffee at the breakfast bar and a changing Canberra skyline beyond the glass. The open-plan living and dining area is generous without wasting space, finished with timber flooring and flowing directly onto the balcony. Partially covered for year-round use, this is a genuine extension of the living space - large enough for outdoor dining, entertaining and quiet afternoons in the sun, with the outlook continuing to evolve through golden afternoons and impressive sunsets.

The kitchen sits naturally at the centre of the home, combining stone benchtops, induction cooking, integrated dishwasher, oven and microwave, excellent storage and a generous breakfast bar. Accommodation has been equally well considered, with the main bedroom segregated from the secondary rooms and complete with walk-in robe and ensuite. Bedrooms two and three both include mirrored built-in robes, while the main bathroom offers the increasingly rare combination of a bathtub and walk-in shower. A completely separate laundry room is another small luxury that becomes particularly appreciated once you have lived with one.

There is an understated practicality throughout that makes the apartment particularly well suited to those moving from a larger home. Double glazing, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling and excellent natural light provide year-round comfort, while two side-by-side basement car spaces are accompanied by substantial storage spanning the width of both spaces. Residents also have access to the complex gym, adding another everyday convenience without leaving home.

Then there is the location. Step outside and both Manuka Terrace and Manuka Village place groceries, cafés, restaurants, boutiques and everyday services virtually on your doorstep. Manuka is recognised for its independent shopping and strong dining culture, while Manuka Terrace alone includes Coles and more than 20 specialty retailers. Old Kingston, the Kingston Foreshore and Lake Burley Griffin are close by for morning walks and further dining options, Griffith Shops provides another excellent collection of cafés and specialty food, and the Parliamentary Triangle is so close it forms part of the view. Add Red Hill Nature Reserve within easy reach and this is an Inner South lifestyle where very little feels far away.
