Gorgeously Renovated Forrest Apartment

Located: Fitzroy Street, Forrest entry and balcony overlooking Fitzroy St.

Introducing this meticulously renovated two-bedroom apartment to the market, nestled in the gorgeous 'The Bentley' boutique development, set amidst the picturesque surroundings of the leafy suburb of Forrest in Canberra. This residence offers character and charm and is enhanced by neatly manicured hedges and established gardens.

This apartment is a prime location, thoughtfully positioned with its living areas facing northeast, capturing an abundance of natural sunlight throughout the day, due to its unique position with only one side neighbour. The huge open-plan living area is impressive with generous dining and family area and study knook, plenty of space to entertain family and friends. A gorgeously well-appointed light filled kitchen contribute to a sense of spaciousness and liveability, equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and ample storage.

This home has undergone a full renovation, with fresh paint and new appliances, presenting a like-new aesthetic. Step onto the outdoor balcony, resembling a serene haven with a slanted roof for added height and a ceiling fan. Enjoy captivating views of the tree-lined street, creating the perfect spot to sit and watch the morning sun or for that perfect cup of coffee.
