#soldbyholly $1,395,000 Unlike other townhouses and apartments in Braddon, this property has its own land title and therefore no body corporate fees or strata committees, giving you the freedom to enjoy your own house. The uncompromising modern facade makes the lowanna.home, located in the heart of Braddon, a striking, statement home. Designed by award winning architect Paul Tilse and employing his signature square shapes and use of raw brick, the building feels firmly engaged with the industrial history and modern re-invention of the inner city suburb of Braddon. Set back from the street and protected by a gorgeous established street tree, the lowanna.home provides privacy for those living within. The sleek, modern interior with open plan living, cooking and dining unfolds through full height sliding doors to the north facing courtyard, offering the best of indoor-outdoor entertaining. Generously proportioned, with three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, clever storage and an abundance of light, the home is an exemplar of great design. The combination of crisp whites with warm, honey timber flooring throughout, and the lovely neutral toned bathrooms with luxurious floor to ceiling tiling, create textural warmth and a sense of luxury. Extending to the east the master bedroom completes the ground floor and opens through sliding doors to the landscaping and natural attributes of the streetscape. The immediate and separate access to the front means this room could also be a perfect commercial studio or home office. The balance between social and private spaces is facilitated by a separate sleeping zone on the top floor. A lovely wooden staircase, with vaulted ceilings providing a light filled void, leads you to two generous bedrooms. The north facing bedroom has wonderful views across terracotta rooftops out to Mt Ainslie while the second bedroom has leafy views across the front garden and out to the streetscape. Beautifully appointed with superior inclusions throughout – quality timber finishes, stone bench tops, sleek floor to ceiling wardrobes in all bedrooms, guest wet room and laundry, double glazing, ducted air-conditioning and with multiple direct access to outdoor areas including secluded side access via the carport – the home is enhanced by natural light, comfort and luxury.
