Bright and airy with a soothing monochromatic palette, the home is characterised by its symmetry and light that sees all spaces in open dialogue with nature. Glass sliders can be flung open, delivering fresh air and sunshine to both the social hub and both bedrooms. The open living, dining, kitchen arrangement is perfect for entertaining, with its fabulous flow to both northern garden terrace and private alfresco courtyard.
This bright two-bedder manages a magic trick of privacy and openness. Think a lovely garden experience that evokes the countryside, imagine entertaining with family and friends within the cosy enclosure of courtyard walls. Think the city at your beck and call…great coffee, food, drink, community and an ease of living that lets you get on with the important things in life.
Coolac Place is a pretty cul-de-sac, just a few steps from Braddon Supermarket and Ijong St Playground, whisper close to the CBD. This private enclave is right in the centre of things. It is an easy stroll to the iconic village centres of Ainslie, O’Connor and Braddon, moments from the pine-tree dotted Haig Park and the endless bushland trails of Mt Ainslie Reserve.
Entry is via a swell of garden and glass doors that give way to a sunny foyer, earthed by terracotta-hued floor tiles. Lucky No. 8 is housed on the ground floor and positioned to take full advantage of its northern aspect.
Within reflective ceramic floors stretch to meet soft white walls and lots of natural light reaches deep into the plan. The kitchen is sympathetically neutral with banks of cabinetry, smooth stone worktops, and all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher. Comfy seating can be arranged beneath the big glazing’s, so you can gaze across the endless northern gardens. And entertaining is simple, the kitchen opening to a generous paved space that delivers on sheltered and open-air dining, so you can spend time with friends no matter the weather.
Both bedrooms have glass sliders that forge a relaxing connection to light and air. The master bedroom is distinguished by its wall of storage and enormous ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom delivers you to the north and also serves up a built-in robe. There is a big laundry and a separate family bathroom and both bathrooms are simply appointed in a combo of crisp white with earthy dark floors.
The home is just a few steps from Ijong Street Playground and Braddon Supermarket. It is a lovely walk along tree-lined streets and through Haig Park to Lonsdale Street, famous for its eclectic range of restaurants, cafés, unique boutiques, fantastic coffee, and thriving bars. This dynamic central locale also places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, New Acton and Dickson precincts, O’Connor and Ainslie shops. This whole inner-north area is synonymous with an amazing array of eating, drinking, relaxing, pampering, exercising, and entertaining experiences. Throw in ample green spaces, walking and biking trails, established trees and gardens, and you have an enviable city/village mix. The home is also close to transport, including the light rail and metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
