Savour the Mount Stromlo sunsets from the top floor

Situated on the 5th & top floor of the renowned 'Ambiente' development, this contemporary 3 bedroom plus study executive apartment may be the solution to your housing requirements. A major advantage over much of its competition is the fact that it is all on 1 level, with a speedy lift to ride rather than tackling tiresome stairs. Particularly wide & airy hallways characterise its levels.

Favourably light & bright with trendy square-set cornices, this distinctive apartment offers north-westerly views towards Mount Stromlo & its foothills. The current owners procured it off-the-plan & made several adroit improvements to it during construction – for example double glazed windows throughout, category 6 cabling in all rooms, sail shade cloth over the pergola, plus extra kitchen cupboards & bench space. It is also 1 of the few apartments there with 2 separate balconies totalling 20m² of outdoor space. All windows & sliding doors have quality Holland & additional privacy blinds, topped by energy-saving pelmets. Neutral decor throughout provides an excellent template for colourful accoutrements.

The spacious, open plan, air conditioned living area offers ample wall area for artwork or other forms of wall hanging, & also allows sufficient flexibility in relation to furnishing the space. It seamlessly flows onto the expansive main balcony where views of the complex's pool & grounds may be had, along with Mt Stromlo & its surrounds. A well constructed pergola with sheltering shade sail & a tiled floor complements the wraparound design. An alfresco lifestyle may become the norm for the next lucky occupants.

Adjoining the living area is a well appointed kitchen; attractive stone benchtops & 2-tone cabinetry marry nicely with the ‘a la mode' stainless steel appliances; they include Westinghouse electric hot plates, Omega under bench oven & a Bosch dishwasher. Conveniently handy to the kitchen is the combined broom/linen cupboard.

All 3 double-size bedrooms have been designed to capture the afternoon sunlight. A large walk-in robe services the separately air conditioned main bedroom, & sliding doors provide easy access to its own balcony. Built-in robes contribute to the outstanding storage space in the secondary bedrooms. The modern ensuite is equipped for everyday comfort, especially with the roomy shower recess. A white polyurethane vanity unit with matching floor-to-ceiling tiling stylishly contrasts the grey-hued tile floor. With good design forethought, the main bathroom elegantly mirrors this room.

The roomy study/office area off the hallway is a huge bonus & could have multiple uses. Discreetly tucked away, the European-style laundry includes a time-saving clothes dryer.

2 individual car parking spots are positioned in the basement, along with a caged lock-up storage facility. The communal outdoor entertaining area provides a seasonal heated swimming pool & inviting BBQ area – perfect for larger social gatherings of friends or family.

This exciting top floor apartment could ideally suit retirees, young families, busy professionals or astute investors. The Molonglo Valley is in a superb geographical position with countless amenities at hand within nearby well established Weston Creek & Woden Valley. Belconnen & its town centre is also only a short drive away via Coppins Crossing over the Molonglo River. For nature lovers, bushland, parkland & waterways abound.

With luck, it could be your family & friends that get to enjoy the future Mt Stromlo sunsets from apartment 109.
