12/3 Gordon Street

City ACT 2601

This generously proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment sits on a quiet street, surrounded by tree-lined laneways and leafy landscaped gardens. The wonderful amenities include secure parking for two cars, indoor swimming pool and fully equipped gym. Thinking grabbing a coffee from Mocan & Green Grout after your morning workout, perhaps taking in the glassy surface of the lake, as you wander the walking and biking trails that hug the landscaped shores.

Inside it is all, sleek, understated simplicity, infused with a warm ambiance, as accents of green bring a sense of charm. The open plan, living, dining, kitchen benefits from its oversized dimensions combined with dual frontage, which takes in views to both north and west. Banks of glass sliders give way to a deep balcony that overlooks the academic precinct of the ANU and frames the undulating ranges of the mountains. Light bounces off the crisp white walls and there is an all abiding felt sense of airiness and space.

With green cabinets set against stone worktops, the kitchen feels at once considered and homely. Sleek stainless-steel appliances take care of business and the wonderful open sociability to both dining and living, makes for easy entertaining with family and friends.

The intimate zone is nicely sequestered on the lower level, where the thread of earthy greens and muted tones follows through to both bathrooms. A papered wall in rich teal extends a tactile elegance into the soothing master. There is an ensuite bathroom and easy drift to romantic Juliette balcony paved in sandstone. Think welcoming the morning with a cuppa, as the reaching arms of oak trees frame heritage Ian Potter House, the Nishi Building looming against the significant backdrop of the Lake.

A hushed second bedroom with built-in-storage sits adjacent to a family bathroom, with an overarching minimalist aesthetic that accords with the vibe of the entire home. A large picture window captures grey brickwork, a snapshot of leafy treetops.

The Metropolitan building is perfectly situated withing the cities western district and close to the walking and biking trails that hug the shores of the Lake. Surrounded by tree lined laneways and pedestrian walkways and with leafy landscaped gardens, the development extends a perfect combo of dynamic urban and relaxing lifestyle. The celebrated New Acton precinct and the ANU is just a few steps away, while to the north there is a dynamic enclave of eateries, pubs and cafes bounded by London Circuit, connecting you to the heart of the CBD. The home is within walking distance of all the eateries and bars of the Melbourne building, Civic, and the Braddon precinct. It is also just metres from the new Capital Metro City Station connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
