The location, privacy, outdoor spaces, and size of the kitchen were all contributing factors to the owner saying “yes” to the address back in 2012.

Located along a quiet street, surrounded by greenery and only a short walk to the city centre, and Black Mountain, 3a/52 Forbes Street in Turner provides a convenient lifestyle for those looking to experience the best of both worlds when it comes to city living.

This two-bedroom apartment features an impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen space, flanked by a sliding door, flooding this space with an abundance of natural lighting and extending the internal entertaining out into a gorgeous garden courtyard. “The garden is my favourite aspect of the apartment. There is plenty of outdoor space for growing veggies and herbs, and for my dogs to enjoy along with the visiting rosellas. I have also planted a lime tree, which produces a bounty of limes every April.”

Offering copious counter space and sufficient storage, the kitchen is an amateur chef’s dream, complete with stainless steel fixtures, including a Methven Gaston pull-down kitchen mixer tap, and Bosch appliances. “Over the years I’ve regularly hosted friends and family for dinner, using produce grown in the garden, and have comfortably fit large groups in the dining room.”

Both bedrooms are generous in size and feature custom made built-in wardrobes, with sliding mirror doors, and brand-new ceiling fans, and share a bright and airy, centrally located bathroom. Additionally, the primary bedroom features external access to a private, cozy courtyard.

“Since moving in I have replaced the sliding door to the main courtyard, with double glazed glass and security screen, installed an electric garage door, replaced the kitchen benches, sink and stove top and installed new floating floors in the kitchen and living space and carpet in the bedrooms. I also installed a clothesline, built a garden shed and paved the courtyard outside the primary bedroom.”
