A modern abode awaits in the heart of the Inner South at 10/2 Light Street. Akin to its street name, the home is filled with light and feels anything but a typical apartment. 

Sitting on the ground floor, a sunny balcony and courtyard invite you outside at any time of day. The merbau timber deck is a stage for entertaining. A small run of lush grass allows you to bring a petite four-legged friend with you.

Inside is even more beautiful with herringbone engineered-oak adorning the floors that flow throughout the open-plan living area. 

This is complemented by the custom colour scheme in the kitchen with oak and glossy white joinery, paired with Symphony Grey stone benchtops and elegant LED feature lighting. 

Sophistication continues in the bathrooms, which are fitted with imported Italian terrazzo tiling. The en suite in the main bedroom is completed by an impressive walk-in shower and bathtub. 

Feel the luxurious woollen loop-pile carpets beneath your feet in the bedrooms and let the heavenly sheer curtains transport you to a state of harmony.

This home is an escape, but it’s just minutes from Manuka, Kingston, Barton and the city when you need more excitement.

Red Hill

Canberrans would know Mugga Way as the golden mile, the place where homes are tightly held and fortunes are grown, and No. 137 Mugga Way is no different. The home is as grand as the street it occupies.

The Georgian-influenced rendered facade is complemented by lush, manicured gardens and hedges – a notable feature of the Inner South.

The interiors are charming with three-metre ceilings, a fireplace in the living space (which has leafy outlooks) and a fourth bedroom that could also be used as a rumpus room for extra entertaining space.

Outside are a concrete pool and a fire-pit zone – perfect for any season – and the setting is private and secluded thanks to the tall pine trees.

Price guide: Mid-$2 millions
