Located on the top floor of 'The Bentley', this spacious one-bedroom property is a perfect entry apartment into Canberra's best suburb. 'The Bentley' is superbly situated halfway between Manuka Village and the Parliamentary Triangle. This means you will be just a five-minute walk to Manuka, Kingston, Lake Burley Griffin, Parliament House and a short drive to the city. A location simply doesn't get much better.


The property itself is north facing and is flanked by windows on both sides. This allows for a stunning amount of natural light to flood the property and given its top floor location it is also very private. The property has laminate flooring to the living / dining area and then carpet to the bedroom for the best of both worlds.
The property is currently vacant and would be of interest to investors or perfect for an owner occupier moving in. Given its location it will suit both buyer segments.

In summary:

- Superb location
- North facing and flooded with natural light
- Private outdoor balcony
- Great condition and ready to move into
- Vacant and ready to move in
- 71m2 internally & 6m2 balcony
