29/16 Wakefield Avenue

Braddon ACT 2612

The building itself wears an air of grace, as smooth rendered walls and elongated balconies rise from old growth conifers. no.29 is housed on the ground floor of the elegant Valonia development which offers a communal barbecue area and fully equipped gymnasium.

The home is a short walk from Canberra's most popular and happening pockets, with a vibrant collection of sought after bars, restaurants and caf?s. It is also a few steps from Haig Park and the walking and biking trails of Mt Ainslie. The city centre is within easy reach and it is not far to the ANU, CIT, private and public schools and transport ? including the new metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.

We love the use of organic stone in the kitchen and the lovely open sociability from the kitchen bench, as the eye is drawn beyond the dining, living to the beautifully planted courtyard. The galley style perfectly designed to double down on ease and efficiency, with banks of storage to house everything. When the doors are open the room interacts with the sunshine and the greenery, making it feel like one enormous space. It is easy to imagine spilling to the paved alfresco arena, perfect for restorative peace, celebrating alfresco with family and friends.

Two lovely bedrooms, both with integrated robes, occupy the southern wing. The master bedroom drifts to a private ensuite bathroom and there is also a family bathroom. Both bathrooms are light and bright affairs, with floor-to-ceiling tiling in soft whites and recessed basins on concordant, elegant vanities.

Step outside and you are greeted by all the creative energy of Braddon by day or night?great coffee, food, drinks, exercise, community. By the way, it is a few steps to the tram, and easy stroll to the CBD and there is a surrounding of tranquil green spaces, for restorative nature bathing, creative contemplation.
