In the heart of Kingston yet looking out to picturesque and tranquil gardens

Located in a central development directly opposite the Kingston shops, and within the Parliamentary triangle, this beautifully presented, fully furnished and single level, two-bedroom apartment leaves you spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes, restaurants, boutique stores, markets, and galleries. Plus, for those who enjoy the outdoors, Lake Burley Griffin, Manuka Pool and Telopea Park are just a short walk away.

Positioned on the top floor of ‘The Griffin’ complex, with its lush, manicured gardens, on-site gym and restricted entry underground carpark, this apartment is ideal for either the live-in-owner or astute investor. Featuring a light and airy open plan living area, balcony with tranquil outlook to the internal podium of the development, a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone bench tops. This abode is both stylish and functional and offers care-free living at its best. Plus it’s vacant and available immediately so no waiting for tenants or owners to relocate, we can even move you in prior to settlement if you are in a rush.

Investors can take advantage of low vacancy rates with an expected rental return of around $540 per week fully furnished on a long term 12m lease. This apartment is perfect for either a long-term tenant or as an Airbnb/short-term letting option since it’s fully furnished allowing for even better weekly returns. Live in owners wanting an affordable entry into the Inner South can also be calling this home sooner than they think as early access can be facilitated for those needing to move in quickly.

Make sure to watch our detailed, walk-through video prior to your inspection (and after), it’s our 24/7 salesperson for you to get an excellent feel for the features and benefits of this unit inside and out including a tour of the carpark, gym and podium. It’s the most informative property video you will watch during your search, but don’t just take our word for it…
