The homeowner originally purchased this one-bedroom apartment on the Kingston Foreshore as a smart investment, drawn by its prime location and strong potential for long-term value. Over time, life took them beyond Canberra, and while it has remained a reliable and low-maintenance property, it now offers a wonderful opportunity for someone new to enjoy all it has to offer. Whether you're a first-time buyer searching for a practical, stylish home or an investor seeking a property with consistent rental appeal, this apartment provides both comfort and confidence. The homeowner has loved the simplicity and ease of living here, with every detail designed for modern, low-effort enjoyment. THE HOME From the moment you enter, the apartment's thoughtful design becomes clear. The open-plan living area is framed by full-length, floor-to-ceiling bifold doors that open effortlessly onto a spacious balcony, letting natural light and the gentle foreshore breeze fill the room. It's a space that blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly-perfect for morning coffee bathed in sunlight or evenings watching the precinct's lights flicker on. The galley-style kitchen sits quietly along one side of the living area, equipped with stone benchtops, a Miele cooktop and oven, an integrated fridge/freezer, and an Omega dishwasher. Storage is cleverly designed with drawers and cupboards that keep the space tidy without compromising style. The bedroom is privately set, generous in size, and includes a large built-in wardrobe, making organisation simple. The modern bathroom features clean tiles, a walk-in shower, and a combined European laundry with washer and dryer, serving both bedroom and living areas efficiently. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, and the building itself adds convenience and lifestyle perks-rooftop gardens and BBQ areas with waterfront views, a cinema room, secure entry, lift access, and one allocated basement car space. THE LOCATION: Situated in the heart of Kingston Foreshore, this apartment places the best of Canberra within reach. Steps from Lake Burley Griffin's boardwalks, the marina, and the water's edge, it combines the calm of a waterfront setting with vibrant precinct life. Cafes, restaurants, and bars are just a short walk away, and Manuka's shops and dining, the CBD, and Parliament House are all easily accessible.
