Last Listing description (August 2019)
Illumination is light, the act or process of making something clearer or brighter and the feeling of surprise when you discover something you didn't expect.
Just to the side of an illuminated city precinct, 14 Masson Street Turner sits quietly amongst the popular inner city suburb of Turner.
Enlivened by a city in renewal, the location and lifestyle personifies cosmopolitan living, the obvious choice for one looking for a spacious home with all the energy of city living.
The enormous townhouse's leafy outlook directly adjacent to Haig Park, Northern aspect and spacious floorplan has you wondering if you are really just one minute from the city. A unique combination of quiet, private living and the social metropolitan lifestyle of the city.
The immaculate three bedroom home has a two storey layout which maximises its substantial living footprint. The front door opens into a welcoming entry and front lounge, from where a view to the living areas and courtyard garden beyond are visible. Sliding doors from the living area open onto a courtyard and private terrace seamlessly uniting the two areas into the perfect entertaining space.
A home of glass and windows are never static. In the course of the day the home is animated by changing light, patterns wandering across the floor, morning north sun and dappled afternoon shades. Natural light, along with high ceilings accentuates the open floor plan and expands living, dining and kitchen areas to front and rear courtyards.
The gentle play of the light cast through the extensive glass panes optimise solar access and create an uplifting home of sunshine and a sense of space.
Illuminated by light, lifestyle and location, in an intimate complex of 20 'Civium' is a complex of quiet park like surrounds, now surrounded by choice. Close to everything that is central to our city, choose from boutique local shopping centres, the Braddon Precinct, C5, New Acton, Founder's Lane, historic parks and the City.
