Enjoy the Best Views of Canberra from this Penthouse

There is something about the way this penthouse at High Society in Belconnen makes you slow down, just a little bit, the first time you walk in. Maybe it is the light that pours in from glass walls going pretty much from the floor all the way up, or maybe it is the view. You will know what I mean when you stand by the window and just let your eyes wander over the Canberra skyline. The whole city seems to open up in front of you, all the way out to the hills in the distance, and the glass kind of disappears after a while so you are just standing above it all. Sometimes you might even catch a pink and orange sunset that makes it all glow.

This is a three bedroom penthouse, one of only four layouts like it in High Society which is actually the tallest tower in Canberra. I get the sense it is built for someone who likes just having room to move. Everything inside feels wide and open. The living room has a way of spreading out so nobody has to step around anyone and there is still plenty of wall space for that painting you have been meaning to frame. The kitchen here is definitely not just a showpiece either. It is the kind where you could see yourself chopping vegetables on a weeknight or inviting friends in to help stir things. The counters feel solid under your hands. If you like to experiment with food, you will probably enjoy it but honestly, you could just as easily have a quiet coffee at the breakfast bar with the sunlight coming in and the city waking up right outside those windows.

Each bedroom just feels tucked away enough that you get your own space. The master suite is especially good. There is a walk-in closet that actually fits a real selection of clothes and not just the seasonal basics. There is an en suite as well, so privacy never feels like an issue, and sometimes you might even forget you are in the heart of Canberra.

The terrace is its own little spot. I always try to step out for a minute or two. Up this high, the breeze feels different and the sounds are softer. There is enough space to just sit with your morning tea or lay around with a few friends sharing some easy food in the evening. There is something a bit special about eating outside with the city all spread out below.

High Society itself kind of lives up to the name but in a comfortable way. The building feels fresh and well thought out. The deck has a heated pool so you can swim even when it is cooler than you expected. Sometimes you see people just reading or chatting there. There is a proper gym you would use for real workouts, not just show and a big wellness area with a spa so relaxing actually means something. Kids have their own indoor playroom which makes things easier for families who come to visit. One of my favourites is the wine cellar, which feels grown up without being fussy and is actually designed by a real sommelier which I thought was a nice touch. There is a chef's kitchen and an executive dining room for those nights you want to do something a bit special. Honestly, you start to feel community here after a while because people seem to bump into each other often enough to say hi and the atmosphere is just easy.

The location is also really good. You can be at local shops and coffee places in just a couple of minutes, but up here you hardly hear any of that. There is always something going on around Belconnen if you get restless, but home acts as a quiet break from all of it.

If it sounds interesting, the best way to get a feel for it is just to walk through and see if it fits. Let me know any time if you want a look or just have questions.
