418/45 Ainslie Avenue, Braddon, ACT 2612

Walls of glass literally float you amidst the city skyline, the central sunroom welcoming light directly into the open plan. It is the same within both bedrooms, where a lovely transparency delivers you to endless skies, the intrigue of the architectural landscape. This contemporary two-bedder is seeded within the history of Reid and Braddon while edging the dynamism of the city. Walk to a myriad of shopping, dining, entertainment options, stroll to the local markets, ride or walk within reserve, it's all at your doorstep.

The Mark, extends the perfect blend of dynamic, inner-city living, with suburban feel, and immersion in nature. Nestled between the CBD and Braddon, flanked by Gorman House and the Canberra Centre, sheltered by Mount Ainslie, and looking out to the historic suburb of Reid. The Founders Lane development is a vibrant inner-city precinct, that combines, residential, commercial and community spaces. Think life beneath shady trees, a selection of fab cafe's, rooftop barbecue, shared herb garden. It is a village within the city - great community, shared courtyards, public art and a private residence lounge.

The buildings combo of raw concrete, black steel and sandstone, is a nod toward the varying characteristics of this intersectional locale - wide tree lined streets, spacious verges, heritage homes, skyscrapers, busy metropolis. The foyer is moody, deliberately utilitarian, with an elegant edge. The apartments renowned for their high quality fixtures and finishes and wonderful quality of light.

Warm hybrid timber floors flow underfoot and walls are gallery white, in contrast to the dark framed double glazed windows. The kitchen picks up this light and dark theme, think lot of textured grey stone, chic white cabinetry, contrasting with dark stained oak. The clever sunroom extends the open living and dining into the light, gifting a feeling of inside outside living. One imagines gathering with friends, enjoying the skyline, the magic twinkle of city lights come evening.

Attention to detail is evident at every turn, from the enormous stone waterfall kitchen island bench, Smeg appliances, ample storage, to the waterfall showers and heated towel racks. This is apartment living without compromise, finished to exacting standards, with an acute eye to luxury. Both bedrooms have generous built-in-robes and there is a seamless European laundry. And we love the patterned floor-to-ceiling grey tiling within both the ensuite and second bathroom, its volcanic drama and sumptuous evocation of the natural world.

The apartment is positioned on the cusp of the city, within Braddon and alongside Reid, Ainslie and just a few steps from the Canberra Centre. This whole inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, entertainment options. Just around the corner from Ainslie and Gorman House Arts centres, Canberra Theatre Centre and surrounded by heritage suburbs, green spaces, including the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie reserve - all the best that central Canberra has to offer, is within easy reach. The home is also close to the ANU, and the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
