This chic, spacious two-bedroom apartment is located on the third floor of 3 Burbury Close, part of the sought-after Realm Park complex, located in the heart of Barton, recently proclaimed Canberra's premier 'lifestyle' suburb.
With thoughtful design, generous proportions and high-calibre finishes and fittings, this immaculate apartment really impresses.
Its large, tiled entry foyer leads to a vast open-plan living area with plush carpet and an abundance of natural light. The living area opens out to a spacious north-west oriented balcony which captures Canberra's endless sunshine and over-looks Realm Park and its fine stand of Plane trees. Adjoining the living area is a premium kitchen with stainless steel Miele appliances, quality stone bench tops, soft close cabinets and ample storage. Beyond the kitchen is a spotless laundry.
The apartment's large master bedroom also opens out to the balcony. It has a roomy walk-in robe and a well-appointed, marble-accented en suite bathroom, which complements the similar main bathroom. The second bedroom, located just off the entry, is also generous in size and has a large built-in robe.
In the secure basement, the apartment has two parking spaces and adjacent storage.
The apartment is only part of the story, however. While it is itself impressive, its location, Barton's Realm precinct, is also impressive.
An exemplar of great urban design, the Realm precinct is a vibrant mixed-use area with a bit of everything. On the apartment's doorstep are a diverse array of professional, medical and specialty retail services, as well as five-star hotels, gyms and health spas, funky cafes and bars, and some of Canberra's best restaurants. But the moderate scale of the Precinct means it is still a pleasant place in which to live. While there is so much going on around the apartment, one can still relax on its balcony listening to the bubbling of the water features in the park below, the faint daytime murmur of diners at Maple + Clove, or the distant, festive chink of wine glasses at Ostani.
Of course, being in Barton means the Realm Precinct is in close proximity to the best Canberra has to offer. Perched on the edge of the Parliamentary Triangle and a stone's throw from Lake Burley Griffin, it is just minutes to the CBD, lively Kingston Foreshore, eclectic Old Kingston and charming Manuka Village.
The Realm Precinct is also well-serviced by transport, being adjacent to the Gold Line and two blocks away from the Red Rapid and Green Rapid services - so no more arduous commuting and paid parking! The recent release by the ACT Government of the preferred route for the proposed Stage 2 of the Light Rail network through Barton, with stops nearby at both Sydney Avenue and Brisbane Avenue, suggests the Precinct's outstanding convenience will be greatly enhanced in the future.
This stylish, sophisticated apartment is vacant, so its many benefits are ready to be enjoyed. Don't delay in viewing it. It is open for inspection from 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Wednesdays. To view it at other times, don't hesitate in calling to arrange an inspection.
