Exquisite Inner City Living: Spacious Unit with Tranquil Views in the 'Forum' Development
If you're after a touch of trendy Inner City living, look no further than this expansive two-storey apartment positioned high up on the top floor of the popular 'Forum'. Boasting a large layout with 77m2 of living, & a 9m2 balcony this apartment offers a space that outshines many others.
Nestled within the ever sought-after 'Forum' development, this abode surprises with its serene ambiance despite its prime location just a stone's throw from the heart of the City, the scenic Commonwealth Park and Lake Burley Griffin. Imagine starting your day with a refreshing lakeside stroll watching Canberra's iconic sunrises, or simply unwind on your fully covered balcony with full-length cedar-framed windows and doors while sipping a glass of wine and indulging in the views out to Parliament House. You can walk to the Canberra Centre for some shopping or a lazy Sunday brunch.
The loft 4.8m high ceiling design is a rare find these days giving you a feeling of space with ambient light from floor to ceiling doors and windows. The kitchen features a practical layout designed to cook all those homemade meals to perfection with a walk-in pantry, plenty of bench space, stainless steel appliances & loads of cupboard & storage space.
Inviting guests over for dinner but haven't cleaned your room? Don't panic! A powder room with a second toilet is located on the ground floor for moments like these! Another storage space is located under the stairs for all your extra bits & bobs, as well as a storage cage in the basement.
This residence offers a private vista overlooking the leafy canopy of Allara Street offering an appealing easterly aspect with no neighbours looking in.
The 'Forum' offers an array of amenities to elevate your lifestyle. A rooftop BBQ area is available - imagine hosting an evening soiree on Canberra's sky fire night- I'd have to say these views would be unmatched!
For fitness enthusiasts, who want to save on a gym membership, the fully equipped gym awaits, complete with everything you need & more! Free weights, aerobic equipment & pin loaded machines are the core of your next workout! If that's not enough, Canberra Olympic pool & gym is directly across the road.
This is Inner City living at its finest-seamlessly blending convenience, tranquillity, and modern indulgences.
