#soldbymcreynolds #soldbycris $445,000

A wonderfully reimagined drive-in-movie sight, immaculate and mature gardens, sparkling swimming pool and a leafy tranquillity that belies the inner north locale.
This sun-drenched two-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of the iconic Starlight development, moments from the vibrant happenings of Dickson and Braddon and a short tram ride away from the CBD.

The classic red signage is a tender homage to the laid-back, convivial spirit of times past. Everybody has a fond memory, from hiding in the boot, to first-dates or piling the kids in the car and heading out for a night beneath the stars and the big screen. Speakers were hung on the sides of classic cars and there was a heady combo of steamy windows, romance and popcorn.

Within neat rows of white villas rise from mature gardens brimming with magnolias and crepe myrtles. Strappy grasses edge pathways dappled with leafy shade, the swimming pool a welcoming gathering spot on warm summer days, fostering a relaxed community spirit.

Glass sliders feature at the end of the open plan living, dining and kitchen allowing the warmth of the northern light to flood the area. The spill to balcony perfect for quiet relaxation and exuberant gatherings with friends. We love the white forms of the silver birch trees, their vibrant autumnal turnings and gift of both summer shade and winter light.

The kitchen occupies one corner and enjoys open connection with the social domain, lovely long views out to landscape. Finished in soothing neutrals, the space is light and bright, and perfectly arrayed for ease of use and accessibility. Banks of storage meet stone benchtops, the long peninsula seamlessly incorporating additional seating, fostering relaxed family connection.

The bedrooms are peacefully tucked away with the large windows framing tree-top views. Both rooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage, while the master flows to a generous ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in-shower. There is also a family bathroom combined laundry, finished in concordant neutral tiling with a lovely pop of eucalypt green.

Despite the coveted inner-north locale the home is informed by the calm of nature and nudges the bush land of Mount Majura. Whisper close to the local EPIC markets, the dynamic Braddon and Dickson precincts, the home is also handy to the buzzing village centres of Watson, Hackett and Downer. Enjoy great coffee and a bite to eat at many of the popular local haunts. And with transport at your door, including the light rail which whisks you straight to the CBD, the home both removes you from the hustle and bustle while connecting you directly with all the convenience and delights of the city.
