28/31 Thynne Street, Bruce, ACT 2617

This easy-breezy three-bedder is conveniently located on the ground floor of the Belle apartments, and spills to a duo of sunny courtyards. The whole apartment has the tranquil city meets bush ethos that is Bruce, with its surrounding of endless reserve and close proximity to both the Belconnen precinct and the vibrant inner north.

Living and sleeping are informed by a continual connection with its surrounding landscape, an easy transition to outside. Think north facing sunlight, stunning new hybrid timber floors, a combo of openness and privacy, and enough space to work, rest and be. Think a master bedroom that opens directly to fresh-air, and two additional bedrooms that open to front courtyard through glass doors.

The Belle apartments cut a pretty picture, rising from layered gardens with a handsome modern meets Tuscan vibe. Smooth rendered walls collide against raw brick and brutalist concrete. Louvred awnings float above large windows and balconies hang transparent, edged with glass balustrades. And the locale is perfect, a great position on the looping Thynne Street and a few steps from the green expanse of Fern Hill Park.

The sleek modern kitchen does it all, and paints and elegant picture - stone benchtops, tiled splashback in warm umber, stainless steel appliances and a spot for everything. Cook from home, plate favourite take-out, gather with friends…all within an open plan designed to let conversations flow. Imagine morning coffee amidst the birdsong, or stepping out in the evenings to the privacy of the high walled courtyard for a rewarding glass or two.

The master bedroom has an invitational air and feels tucked away behind its entry hallway and bank of built-in-robes. Wake refreshed to gentle sunlight, stepping outside to take in the crisp morning air. Both additional bedrooms have excellent storage and spill to a private patio overlooking an avenue of trees. There is a generous family bathroom with a bathtub and the convenience of a European laundry complete with dryer.  

Bruce itself serving up a dynamic community of coffee shops, restaurants and oh so handy local supermarkets. It is the perfect mix of peace and action, never far from the cultural offerings of the city yet steeped in a restful quietude.

Pop down for Curry night at the nearby Qure Restaurant or perhaps a long breakfast at Café Momo. Walk to Gossan Hill Nature Reserve or explore the trails of Bruce Ridge and Black Mountain. Bike around Lake Ginninderra or directly to the city. Dine out or enjoy a drink by the lake, browse the myriad of shops within the dynamic Belconnen Precinct.
