22/21 Ijong Street

Braddon ACT 2612

Rising from an oak lined street running down to Haig Park, this low lying boutique development cuts a handsome form. Red brick meets smooth neutral render and balconies jut out to meet the trees. A row of small conifers gleam lime in the sunshine as robust ground covers and leafy mature trees, add colour and texture.

There is a lovely, sumptuous feel and a calming simplicity to no.21?large black framed windows capture light and leaf; the private balcony floating within canopies of vibrant green. Arranged in an open plan, the social domain is effortlessly social and at once deeply private and open to the world. Soft carpets keep the whole apartment cosy and the continuity of the material palette only adds to the elevated luxurious appeal.

Crisp white stone benchtops blur with a white tiled splashback, all set against the warming tones of cabinetry in the textured hues of rustic grey timber. There is a long peninsula for relaxed communion while you cook and plenty of space for many helpful hands. It is easy to imagine this social hub brimming with friends and family, plating gourmet take-away or creating from scratch?an easy to-and-thro from outside to in, and the joy of sharing food and sanctuary.

Two peaceful bedrooms centre around a large bathroom that seamlessly incorporates a laundry. Both bedrooms have built-in-robes and huge windows that frame the surrounding trees, welcoming nature within. There is the convenience of a separate powder room and the bathroom offers up a tonne of vanity storage, finished in the same vintage grey wooden tones as the kitchen. We love the oversized shower with its frameless screen and the large format ceramic floors in elegant marly charcoal.

Ijong St is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including the pine tree dotted Haig Park and the nearby biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios? There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its fabulous IGA and gastro pub. The CBD is whisper close and with buses and light rail at your doorstep you can ditch the car, easily exploring the whole of Canberra.
