Outstanding prospect for savvy investors looking for a high yielding investment. Currently the home is being used as a short-term rental through Canbnb with an excellent gross income average of $48,139 per year. Offered with vacant possession, it is also the perfect opportunity for buyers looking for a home to live in.

Think entertaining at home, plating take-out from the nearby boutique restaurants…spilling to the large, private courtyard or dining inside with doors flung open to the central atrium, so alive with a greening of well-tended ferns, giant monstera. 

From the terrace you see the flag mast of Parliament House, its silver structure bright against the blue sky. There are privatising green walls and a dotting of whimsical silver birches, deep in their colourful autumnal turnings. Step outside via the garden gate and you are front and central, connected to the significant offerings of this inner south enclave – lake trails, cultural institutions, leafy parks and all the enticements of old Kingston and Manuka Village.

This spacious one-bedder boasts two indoor-outdoor areas, alongside open plan living informed by fresh breezes, lovely sunshine. The palette is a mix of soothing neutrals, warm whites with soft carpets and tiled alfresco arenas. The kitchen is all seamless white cabinetry, including ample pantry storage and banks of drawers, gifting a place for everything. There are quality all-electric appliances from AEG, including an integrated microwave and dishwasher. 

Even the master bedroom frames the courtyard via a ribbon window, welcoming light and bringing the outside in. There is a built-in-robe and an adjacent bathroom, elegantly appointed in floor-to-ceiling tiles with earthy organic flooring. A European laundry is nicely hidden away within the kitchen and there is secure basement parking with a storage cage. Complex also offers a well equiped gym.

Underpinning it all is the lifestyle – 
Walk to Charles Sturt University, Old Parliament House and Parliament House, The National Art Gallery, The Glassworks and the Bus Depot Markets. It is also an easy stroll to the Old Brassey Inn, Hotel Realm and the café and restaurant scene of Burbury Close. Barton is a much-coveted enclave, boasting a heady mix of significant heritage architecture and flashy modern builds, while being close to the culturally significant building that dot the lake and whisper close to the CBD. The home is within walking distance of Telopea Park, Telopea Park High School and Manuka Pool. Kingston and Manuka Precincts are close to hand with their exciting mix of eating, dining and shopping experiences. The home is also close to transport, a mix of private and public schools, Kingston Foreshore, Bus Depot Markets, and Canberra Glassworks. It is a mere 3 minutes to Capital Hill.
