HERITAGE CORNER
Lofty ceiling heights, interesting architectural voids, columns and cut-outs create a layering of spaces, private nooks, peek-a-boo glimpses, views out and over the rooms below.
This fantastic intersectional locale – quiet tree lined streets, spacious verges, heritage homes alongside skyscrapers, busy metropolis – extends the perfect blend of dynamic, inner-city living, with suburban feel, and immersion in nature.
Nestled within the leafy Heritage Corner development, within the intersection of the CBD and Braddon, flanked by Gorman House and the Canberra Centre, sheltered by Mount Ainslie, and alongside the historic suburb of Reid, the home serves up all the best that Canberra has to offer.
Despite its city context, this spacious three-bedroom home, extends a deep quiet and relaxed serenity. Cosy and communal with multiple social spaces and a clever floorplan, the home flows to nature on both levels.
A delightful garden path wends through a variety of beautiful plantings while the home’s elevation floats you among trees. Within, the calm, neutral palette is enhanced beautifully by a combo of tones, textures – white on white, rich feature walls, stone, ceramic, soft carpets – furthering a felt experience of comfort, warmth and ease.
The mezzanine living area flows to balcony inviting the outside in, while multiple glazing gifts aspect to landscape, sky. There is enough space for friends to gather and celebrate, drifting outside to take in the skyline, dusky pink sunsets.
Below, the double height family room lends a dramatic flair and feeling of airiness while still managing to feel sheltered and comfy. A ducted gas heater is an ideal gathering spot on cold winter nights.
The large dining room is a fabulous stage for relaxed family meals, elegant dinner parties, merging to serene garden. Shaded by awning and overlooking soft lawn, textural plantings this private courtyard is also a wonderful spot for a reflective morning coffee.
The curved kitchen with banks of soft oak cabinetry and crisp white stone bench tops, overlooks the dining area, allowing for ease of social connection.
A splendid situational privacy creates an inviting master bedroom, with russet red feature wall and the enhanced utility of large walk-in-robe and ensuite.
Tucked away on the opposing side of the home are two peaceful bedrooms, with large windows maximising views to garden. Both rooms are amenable to family bathroom with tub and separate toilet.
