Turner ACT 2612

The apartment sits on the ground floor of a handsome building made up of unified concrete squares and soft orange louvred panels. Within hybrid timber floors flow underfoot and a wall of glazing welcomes light and nature into the room. Atmospheric blue walls coalesce with crisp white and black shelving alive with a jumble of books and curated objects. The dining area is naturally delineated by built-in-cabinetry and there is a notable generosity to the whole space, accentuated by the open merge with alfresco living.

In one corner a kitchen finished in matt black with warm timber countertops brims with storage, including wonderful open shelves in black birch ply. A wall of mermaid tiles catches the eye, in rich hues of ocean green. This is the kind of friendly cooking haven that teems with jars of legumes, herbs, coffee beans?everything at hand, with a perfect array of sleek appliances and sociable warmth.

The master bedroom is painted in soothing eucalypt with built-in-robe a delightful surprise of cheerful orange. Sliders can be flung open welcoming afternoon light and breezes off the climbing jasmine. The ensuite bathroom is all timeless monochromatic black and white, with fun art deco, geometric patterned floor tiles.

The second bedroom welcomes northern light via clerestory windows and opens fully to deck and garden. A wall of built-in-cabinetry takes care of the clutter and just next door there is a bright family bathroom. Newly renovated with full-size tub for relaxing soaks, this happy room is finished in gorgeous pistachio green tiles.

Both front and rear outdoor spaces are palatial and offer both sheltered patios and vast open garden spaces, enclosed by shady trees. The eastern garden has a lovely openness to the comings and goings of the street and houses a potted array of succulents and herbs. To the west a secluded enclave with high fences and warm timber decking invites lounging, kicking back with a great book on long Sundays or communing into the evening, beneath the soft lantern lights, spending precious time with family and friends.
