Capturing spectacular panoramic views across Manuka Oval and Manuka swimming pool to the City and encompassing views of Parliament House, iconic Black Mountain Tower, Mount Ainslie and the surrounding Telopea Park, this outstanding three-bedroom executive penthouse is situated at the heart of the Inner South. Located on the top floor with a secure lift access to the private foyer and light-filled entry vestibule, every aspect of the apartment's design was considered when creating its distinctive configuration of living, sleeping and quiet areas. The result is a haven of light, space, and uninterrupted views from every room within a contemporary Inner-South space. Relax with an evening beverage with your friends while taking in the beautiful views, or perhaps watching a cricket or an Aussie Rules game from your own large balcony. Alternatively, you can walk across the road to Manuka Shopping precinct, the Kingston Hotel, Manuka Oval and pool, or just a 300-metre stroll down the road to Kingston shops, then across to Kingston Foreshore where you can enjoy the diverse cafes, restaurants, nightlife and shopping which is in walking distance from this idyllic leafy Inner South location. On entering the apartment, you will be impressed by the large open-plan living area leading to the huge balcony with outstanding views. The modern kitchen with a walk-in pantry and stainless steel appliances overlooks the living/dining room while the master bedroom complete with an ensuite, balcony and robe is segregated from the other two bedrooms. With two separate undercover car parking spaces and a storage locker included in the secure basement area, there is ample parking when sports events are underway; no more hunting for a car space when going to the Oval or shopping in Manuka. Additional features of this beautiful home include a separate laundry with additional storage, separate rear balcony off the third bedroom, ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling, security access system and video intercom, instantaneous gas hot water and too many other features to mention. Whether your love is entertaining, relaxing with a book, while enjoying the views, shopping, or a short stroll to Manuka and Kingston, this exclusive, lifestyle property is your ideal home in the heart of Canberra.
