22/15 Howitt Street Kingston, ACT 2604

Anyone seeking a home in a truly walkable neighbourhood a hair's breadth from vibrant cafes, boutique shopping, markets and lakeside pubs should be clamouring to look at this airy apartment.

Known for its private and distinctive curved balconies, number 22 on the low-rise 'Chamonix' complex's top floor has a shade-sail-covered balcony that also benefits from leafy protection in summer courtesy of mature deciduous trees, and lavish northerly sunshine in winter, with the bonus of views to Mt Pleasant in the distance.

This premium aspect means that the open-plan living space off the balcony is awash with natural light. The adjacent kitchen also benefits, with well-lit work surfaces that make food prep easy, efficient, and safe.

Two soothing bedrooms are tranquilly positioned to the rear of the property and have views of the century-old evergreen Himalayan cedars that line the gorgeous old-Kingston streetscape.

With Manuka Oval, Barton offices, and cultural institutions well within walking distance, this home offers a peaceful, yet quintessentially connected Canberra lifestyle.
