Overview
Situated within the established James Court complex in Braddon, this generously proportioned two-bedroom apartment exemplifies a pragmatic investment with flexible ownership options in Canberra's vibrant inner-city setting.
The apartment's expansive layout surpasses typical modern two-bedroom inner-city designs, providing a spacious open-plan living and dining area that seamlessly extends to a west-facing balcony, inviting abundant natural light and outdoor relaxation. The kitchen, thoughtfully arranged for functionality, offers ample bench space and cabinetry to support culinary activities and storage needs.
Accommodation features two sizeable bedrooms equipped with built-in robes for efficient organization, including a master suite with a private ensuite bathroom, complemented by a second well-appointed bathroom with integrated laundry facilities. Completing the offering is a secure basement parking space, adding convenience and security to daily living.
This property appeals particularly to investors seeking a hands-off income stream, as it is presently leased through the Adina Hotel accommodation scheme, yielding an attractive monthly return. Alternatively, owner-occupiers may withdraw the apartment from the rental scheme to enjoy the residence personally or opt for private or short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, for added flexibility.
The location is exceptional, boasting immediate access to the light rail station and proximity to Braddon’s acclaimed Lonsdale Street with its diverse dining and entertainment venues. Further convenience is provided by easy walks to Canberra Centre, the central business district, and the Australian National University, enhancing lifestyle and connectivity.
