35/170 John Gorton Drive

Purchased off the plan in 2023, this was a home the owners were drawn to immediately for its location and the parklands surrounding it. As the first owners, they have loved the natural light, the modern feel of the apartment, and the ease of living that comes with being in such a well-connected part of Coombs. The open plan living area has been their favourite space, filled with natural light and admiring sunsets across to Mt Stromlo. They have also loved the quietness of the apartment, the sense of community, and the convenience of being able to get to so many parts of Canberra with ease. Most importantly, it has been a special first family home, holding the memories of bringing their son into the world and enjoying a low-maintenance chapter together. THE HOME Positioned on the top-floor at the end of the hall, its corner position means there is no noise from above and only one neighboring apartment, adding to the sense of privacy and comfort. The open plan living and dining area forms the heart of the home, featuring a versatile layout, natural light throughout, and direct access to the balcony with views across to Mt Stromlo and surrounding areas. The kitchen is finished with stone bench tops, a double sink, Caroma retractable spray mixer, 600mm built in AEG oven, induction cooktop, and Electrolux dishwasher. Additional features include Toshiba reverse-cycle air conditioning to the living area and master bedroom, both with upgraded smart capability, double-glazed windows and doors, Basq blinds and light-filtering curtains to the living room, blinds to the bedrooms, European laundry, Stiebel Eltron instantaneous electric hot water, NBN ready FTTP, and secure building access. The apartment also offers two carapaces located right near the lifts that are side by side with an additional storage cage close to the lift. THE LOCATION Coombs continues to grow in appeal thanks to its modern setting, accessibility, and strong connection to the wider Molonglo region. Surrounded by parklands and with walking access to playgrounds, nature spaces, and the Molonglo River corridor, the location offers a lifestyle that feels connected to both green space and everyday convenience. The apartment is also within easy reach of supermarkets, schools, and key roads linking through to the city and surrounding town centres, making it a practical choice for buyers looking for low-maintenance living in a well-positioned part of Canberra.
