The sale of No 2 Barton Court creates an opportunity for those seeking something out of the ordinary in a convenient location. Built in 1934 and designed by the renowned architect Ken Oliphant, Barton Court is the oldest residential apartment development in Canberra.
Reflecting the character and charm of a more gracious period this classic, 100m2, two bedroom, ground floor apartment has high ceilings, well proportioned rooms and mellow timber floors throughout the living areas and the bedrooms. Separate sitting and dining rooms were expected in times gone by; the sitting room has an open fire place and adjoins a small study and the dining is perfect for those more intimate dinner parties. Care has been taken in the restoration of the kitchen and bathroom to ensure the the style is in keeping with the original. Gas fired central heating in addition to the open fire place ensures winter comfort; there is a single carport just metres from the rear door.
Positioned in the heart of the Parliamentary Triangle and just moments from the Realm and Burberry Hotels and the National Press Club the location could not be more convenient. The Kingston and Manuka shopping and dining precincts are close by and the Lake and its surrounding park lands provide opportunities for exercise and relaxation.
