54/21 Battye Street

Strata Fee: $1,301 per quarter Rates: $448 per quarter Land tax (investors only): $515 per quarter Set on the second-floor, this one-bedroom apartment is part of the Proximity Apartments. Proximity by name and proximity by nature, this complex is close to so much which makes Bruce an amazing location like no other suburb in Canberra. Across the street from the Australian Institute of Sport Aquatic Centre with its Olympic pool, and a stone's throw from GIO (Bruce) Stadium, which is very handy if you like your footy or would like to tap into the significant airbnb potential that this property probably has to offer. Plus, this home is walking distance to Canberra Institute of Technology, North Canberra Hospital, Radford College, and the University of Canberra. Proximity is a mixed-use development, so without leaving this apartment complex one can enjoy a café, restaurant, bar, both gentleman's and lady's hairdressers, beauty and wellness, and several other handy businesses which are set down on ground level. This location is also about a two-minute ride to Bruce Ridge, which is legendary for its mountain-bike trails. Built in 2007, this Is a 21st Century apartment. Built-in study nook, downlights and high ceilings, these are some nice touches which one does not always find. The bathroom has floor-to-ceiling tiles in the shower, and a wall-mounted showerhead with hand-held flexible stainless steel hose for those who occasionally enjoy some total shower indulgence. The kitchen has a large fridge alcove, a microwave alcove and plenty of cupboards, which look attractive with their mocha and cream tones. To top it off, the north-facing balcony has a glass balustrade, which allows one to enjoy looking out into the quiet and lovely internal garden and is also perfect for those who enjoy a bit of balcony gardening, as well as being big enough to entertain some friends or family. The stand-out thing about this apartment is that it is on the end of the row. This means that you will not feel hemmed in by the neighbours, and the extra windows in the living room and bedroom make this a superior apartment to others in the complex in terms of both natural light and cross-breeze ventilation.
