Torrens

View property

Warm timber tones and a bush capital setting combine to create this inviting and easy-care townhouse.

The home was originally two bedrooms but during renovations it was lovingly converted to a large one-bedroom home.

The open-plan living area is flooded with natural light thanks to a northerly aspect. It flows out through new double-glazed doors to a spacious and private courtyard – perfect for entertaining family and friends.

The courtyard also stretches across to the main suite that comes complete with its own quaint study spot and walk-in wardrobe.

In the cooler months, a wall-mounted gas furnace will provide winter comfort.

Braddon

This modern New York loft-style apartment in the heart of bustling Braddon is sure to impress.

It features open-plan spaces, high ceilings, a floating staircase and the added extra of a study area – all coming together to form a design that maximises space with modern finishes.

The two-bedroom apartment also boasts six-metre-high windows which will no doubt impress visitors with views of Mount Ainslie and Canberra city.

Located right on Canberra’s favourite strip of bars and restaurants, the best eateries are just at your doorstep. Alternatively, if you’re opting for a home-cooked meal, the kitchen is packed with stainless steel appliances, stone benchtops and plenty of storage.

Only a five-minute walk to Canberra Centre, this property is both convenient in location but also gives you a private sanctuary to relax and watch the sunset.

Set well back from the street on a 1244-square-metre block, this two-storey family home offers a tailored aspect to your magnificent garden setting from every room – including your home office with its own entry.

On entering, a sunken lounge offers a large and cosy space to entertain. Once you light up the fireplace, you’re ready to host.

The dining also has french colonial doors leading outside to the entertaining area and pool.

With mature and manicured gardens surrounding the yard and an outdoor barbecue area, the house offers a cool, private space for a quiet reading area or an entertaining space for families and friends.

Tathra

View property

Complemented by three hectares of gum trees and a dam that so large it could almost be a lake, and it’s like Mother Nature herself is giving you her warmest embrace.

The extensive use of glass invites the serene environment inside the house, while the many french doors open out to expansive decking and allow you to soak in the goodness of the natural surroundings, without venturing too far home.

The lounge room, with its soaring timber ceilings and ambient fireplace, is one of the most inviting rooms in the house.

And the fact that it’s within minutes to the beach simply adds to the attractiveness of this little slice of heaven.

On the Sapphire Coast, Tathra is one of the most naturally beautiful areas of NSW. Boasting kilometres of pristine beaches and national parks, it’s a sanctuary just waiting to be explored.
