9/50 Lowanna Street

Braddon ACT 2612

There really is a place for everything, as integrated storage is maximised, from the tall cabinetry that lines the hallway, featuring within the kitchen and both bedrooms, to the clever storage that runs beneath the bedroom windows. A lot of thought has gone into function combined with a sumptuous and paired-back materiality. There is an effortless vibe at work, as easy living combines with an understated modern chic.

Family and social life flourishes within the double-height living area, with its bevy of beautiful gestures, from soaring raked ceilings, walls of glazing and clerestory windows. Nature really does float within, the room extending to deep timber balcony, tree dotted horizons. Think, extravagant dinner parties spilling to champagne evenings or a relaxed drink before heading out to the beckoning night life of Lonsdale Street.

The kitchen is a chic combo of dark tones with pops of light timber and sleek stainless-steel appliances from Smeg, including a stylishly integrated dishwasher. There is European laundry and full-height pantry, all seamlessly blended into the elegant, minimalist scheme.

Wall hung vanities with stone countertops, mirror storage and a neutral tonality characterise both bathrooms. The master merging to private ensuite and both peaceful bedrooms blessed with soft light and captured snapshots of the reaching arms of mature trees.

We love the snug enclosure of the timber clad walls and balcony ceiling, the open balustrade and the generosity of space for dining and lounging. The long balcony, such a wonderful sanctuary within this inner-city context, the natural panorama both soothing and holding. And the inclusions throughout the home that make life so comfortable ? electric clerestory windows, RC air conditioning, double glazing and soft carpets that stretch warm and insulating under foot.

Lowanna St is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including all the 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 much loved 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.
