135/33 Currong Street, Reid ACT 2612

There is a romance at play here, think high ceilings, sun dappled white walls, broad plank timber flooring and a framing of old world gardens. Muted tones and natural hues create a cohesive array of welcoming spaces. The organic materiality soothing and oh so fitting, the home reading more like a country retreat than chic inner urban pad. Yet this airy two-bedder nudges the city, sidles the Braddon precinct, making it an easy stroll away from a myriad of vibrant eateries, bars, cafes and boutique shopping experiences.

This gorgeous ground floor apartment has been thoughtfully renovated, ushering in a paired-back sense of calm and elegance, effortlessly blending the old and the new. Living is arranged in an open plan, spilling to rose dotted, shared gardens on one side and private walled courtyard on the other.

Argyle Square is famed for its central locale, seeded within the history of Reid and Braddon, moments from landmarks such as Glebe Park, Gorman House and Mount Ainslie. The Canberra Centre is at arm's length and it is not far to the vibrant happenings of the Lonsdale strip. Decorative wrought iron balconies, quaint dormer windows and extensive and well-tended gardens, create an exceptional lived experience. We especially love the stained glass, its flourishes of amber, gold and teal lending an incandescent glow to the welcoming foyer.

Seamless white cabinetry blends effortlessly with the crisp white, old style timber windows, French doors. A little bit of the garden ushered within - the lawns and the leafy trees captured in the reflective deep greens of the tiled splashback. Timber shelving lets you curate with chosen pieces and there is a clever built-in-bookcase tucked around the corner, for your home library. A full-height pantry and banks of linear drawers gift an effortless place for everything so you can cook up a storm, dining alongside the fabulous gardens, softly illuminate by old fashioned lamp posts.

The kit-kat tiling is echoed within the stunning bathroom, this time evoking the warm hues of stone and sand. Here softly textured floor to ceiling tiling creates a seamless organic effect and there is a relaxing bathtub and separate rain shower.

Both adjacent bedrooms have built-in-robes for effortless storage and airy high ceilings. The master opens to the private rear courtyard via timber French doors, so you can step outside and greet the day, chatting to your flourishing potted oasis.

Reid is known for its history, garden city vernacular, quality heritage homes, delightful pathways connecting green spaces and strong community vibe. This dynamic inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, and entertainment options. The home is across the road from Gorman House Arts centres, close to the Canberra Theatre Centre, the ANU, CIT, Glebe Park and the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie reserve - all the best that central Canberra has to offer, is within easy reach. Handy to schools, colleges and with immediate access to transport, including the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
