21/56 Ijong Street, Braddon, ACT 2612

There is a dash of the Mediterranean spirit to The Arc, with its creamy rendered form, Tuscan red trim, and circulation around a leafy inner courtyard. Sweet smelling jasmine spills from large planters, and green lawns unfold beneath leafy trees. No. 21 has a felt sense of remove, corner position, rear of the complex, only one adjoining neighbor. Arrayed across two levels, this hidden treasure serves up three bedrooms, lots of space and light, and a wonderful connection to the outdoors.

It's no wonder The Arc has a high percentage of owner/occupiers with its boutique vibes and secluded feel. Communal pathways meander through the shared gardens, connecting the twenty-one units and townhouses and creating a wonderful communal hub. Timber garden fences add to the relaxed village vibe that belies the inner-city locale, a few steps from all the foodie and shopping offerings of the Lonsdale hub and an easy stroll into the heart of the CBD.

There is a feeling of space from the get-go as cooking, dining, and living co-habitat in one big, easy-breezy plan. Glass sliders can be flung open, allowing an open drift to the outdoors, and entertaining takes on a super relaxed vibe. The kitchen complements the soothing neutral materiality with its banks of white cabinetry, speckled stone worktops, and simple tiled splash back. There are quality all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher, so you can arrange take-out or cook-up a storm, spilling to the northern sunlight and communing with family and friends.

Easy-care ceramic flooring morphs into warm timber-like floors that add a modern country ease to the two downstairs bedrooms. Both rooms have built-in robes, while bedroom three opens to the quiet remove of a large rear courtyard laid with synthetic grass. There is a generous family bathroom with a bathtub, a separate toilet, and a large internal laundry.

The master suite floats privately above and drifts to a large balcony that delivers you to treetops and sunshine. Double built-in robes provide ample storage, and there is an easy merge to a light drenched ensuite bathroom. You can see Mt Ainslie from the balcony and gaze across the terracotta rooftops of old Braddon. One imagines reading in the sunlight, star gazing with a glass in hand. Or think, long dreamy nights, sleeping soundly, lulled by the rhythms of nature.

Braddon is a dynamic, ever-evolving, inner-north destination with an eclectic range of restaurants, cafes, unique boutiques, fantastic coffee, and thriving bars. This dynamic central locale also places you within walking distance to the CBD, ANU, Melbourne Centre, New Acton precinct and O'Connor shops. 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.
