The discrete bedroom suites are a real feature of this home the west wing behind the lounge comprises a king-size suite with double WIR, large bathroom with spa bath, and atrium with Japanese garden adjoining the study/home office; while the separate south wing behind the family room offers a queen-size bedroom with its own balcony and established plants overlooking the leafy gardens, WIR and separate bathroom; the third bedroom suite is at the rear with a wall bed (included), full wall of built-ins, and full bathroom including bath. This thoughtful layout fits with modern living offering distinct private areas for a variety of families.

Three outdoor areas provide light and greenspaces the deep front terrace is filled with exotic potted plants, including orchids, and set up with an automatic watering system, protected by an angled roof which allows the magnificent morning sun to warm the family room. The deep balcony off the second bedroom contains a climbing wisteria and established lemon tree and overlooks the green rear garden, and the atrium between the Master suite and lounge encloses a well-established Japanese garden with mature Japanese maple and glorious purple wisteria.

This spacious penthouse is well placed in the popular Inner South, close to everything. You can walk to shops, schools, cafs and restaurants as well as many of Canberra's best attractions. Stroll to Manuka for Sunday brunch, coffee, a quick shop, or to enjoy a movie in the new cinema. Public transport is now available, and stage 2 of the light rail will be in walking distance. While the current owners are reluctantly leaving this apartment they have made into a much-loved home, it is the chance for someone else to enjoy the pleasures of central living in a quality penthouse and to make their own with their own dcor and personal arrangements.
