419/27 Lonsdale Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

Brilliant location in the heart of the City!

This effortless one-bedder plus study connects you to a dynamic urban lifestyle while grounding you within a cocooning sanctuary. There is nothing to do here, but move in…curate, gather, retreat. The kitchen's extensive timber cabinetry is a natural home for beautiful ceramics, the joinery continuing across the living room wall, creating a fixed sideboard that floats beneath the soft grey hues of polished concrete. 

Warm timber and raw concrete combine to create a tactile and organic lived experience. Black steel perfectly frames the built landscape, the sculptural folds of the Ori building just across the way. Living is arranged in an open plan design with striking oak floors, from here there's a seamless connection to the outdoors and a private balcony, floating you above the happenings of Lonsdale Street.

The balcony can be shuttered for movie watching day or night or left open to nice breezes or views of the cityscape. Gathering with friends can begin with drinks overlooking the street that beckons with its array of restaurants, cafés and bars. Working from home is taken care of via a custom desk and both bedroom and office have excellent built-in-storage. The bathroom is superb, finished in concordant banks of warm timber, with decadent over-sized silver handles, the shower space tiled to perfection in white mosaics.

The minimalist concrete façade of the Palko building rises from Lonsdale in a combo of clean lines, gravity defying sculptural curves. It is an arresting sight, built in response to the highly creative Braddon environment, stimulating to both mind and body. Designed by Judd Studio this boutique mixed use build finesses the concept of attention to detail, delivering an environment alive with playful shapes and organic finishes that nod to the sweeping bushland surrounds.

Outside of the apartment you are greeted by all the creative vitality of Braddon by day or night…great coffee, food, drinks, exercise, community. By the way, it is a few steps to the tram, and easy stroll to the CBD and you are moments from some of the best independent cafes, bakeries, yoga studios, boutiques, bars and restaurants that Canberra has to offer. Throw in a surrounding of tranquil green spaces and you have the best of urban living, with a restful dollop of country peace.
