Ground Floor Convenience with a Massive Entertainer's Courtyard
Nestled in one of Turner's most connected locations, this spacious ground-floor corner apartment offers a rare combination of generous internal living, thoughtful storage and an enormous private courtyard. From the moment you step inside, the apartment feels welcoming and well considered, with a spacious entry area that creates separation between the living areas while offering room for shoes, coats and additional storage. A proper spacious separate laundry with built in storage shelves and stand alone laundry basin' adds to the spacious feel. While extensive cabinetry and excellent storage throughout add to the everyday practicality.The kitchen has been designed with both function and style in mind, featuring a well-sized island bench with double sink, five socket power point, built-in drawer dishwasher and plenty of storage. Opposite, the electric cooktop and oven are framed by a sophisticated mix of materials, complemented by additional cabinetry. A built-in double-door fridge with freezer drawer and an oversized pantry complete the space, while the adjoining east-facing living area enjoys beautiful morning light and provides a comfortable setting to relax or entertain.
Accommodation is generous, with the main bedroom offering impressive proportions, excellent wardrobe space and a sleek, moody ensuite with a refined design and natural light. The second bedroom is also well-sized with built-in robes and dual access to the main bathroom, complete with a practical bath and shower configuration. One of the true standout features is the massive courtyard, featuring a partly covered dining area, side space for tools or extra storage, an expansive paved entertaining zone and a large garden bed with proper soil depth for greenery, pots or a productive garden setup. This backs onto green space and well established trees.
The location is equally impressive. Positioned right on Northbourne Avenue and moments from the light rail stop, the apartment offers exceptional connectivity to the City and beyond. You are only a short walk from Braddon's cafés, restaurants and nightlife, while also being close to Turner Shops, O'Connor Shops, local schools and countless lifestyle amenities. It is a rare Inner North apartment that delivers the space, outdoor living and convenience buyers so often look for but rarely find.
The property is currently tenanted by a fantastic tenant, so would be ideal for an astute investor or future live-in buyer. This could be the perfect property for downsizers looking for something unique, exciting and a great place to call home, later.
IN THE WORDS OF THE OWNER'S: "We loved living in Turner at On-Forbes. Our children grew up walking to school, playing in beautiful parks, picnics in Haig Park and hiking local mountains. We loved the easy access to Canberra city via the light rail - only a five-minute walk from home. Living in Turner meant we could enjoy local restaurants, music and theatre within easy walking distance. We made spontaneous and enduring connections in the On Forbes community and we will treasure those friendships and memories always."
