A sense of comfort comes from the material…from the stone benchtops to the warm timber cabinetry. High ceilings enhance the feeling of epic space, the wonderful connection to outdoors.<br/><br/>Nestled on a tree lined street and opposing central parkland, this gorgeous two-bedder, provides the ultimate sanctuary, made all the more special by its inner-city locale. The best of both world coincide, as a vast living arena spills to sunny balcony and a world of eating, shopping and entertainment experiences beckon at your doorstep.<br/><br/>The apartment is housed on the top floor and is superbly private and secure, with intercom entry and basement parking. It is a leafy stroll through Haig Park to all the offerings of the Braddon Precinct and the CBD.<br/><br/>The sweeping social arena is arranged in an open plan and welcomes sunshine from the north and east. A well designed kitchen luxuriates in one corner, all organic curves, warm timber and striking dark granite. The shapely peninsula provides plenty of worktop utility and a relaxed gathering place, and there are quality stainless-steel appliances for cooking up a storm. It is easy to imagine convivial gatherings with family and friends, spilling to deep balcony to take in the treetops and mountain views. <br/><br/>Both welcoming bedrooms drift to private balconies, with glass sliders that can be flung open to breezes. The large master bedroom has a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage and an elegant ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has excellent storage and connects to a family bathroom with relaxing bathtub. Both bathrooms are finished in in a combo of crisp white with earthy terracotta notes, golden timber and richly veined slabs of stone.<br/><br/>Wise Street is perfectly positioned for an endless selection of cafes, bars, restaurants while offering the restorative peace of ample green spaces, including the pine tree dotted Haig Park and the nearby biking and walking trails of Mt Ainslie. The Braddon precinct extends a vast array of independent stores, great hospitality venues, bakeries, yoga studios… There is the famous Asian and international cuisine of the Dickson precinct and not far, the village charm of Ainslie shops with its fabulous IGA and gastro pub. There are plenty of good schools close to hand including Merici College which is just across the road.
