Some homes just have a certain presence when you walk in. This three bedroom penthouse at High Society in Canberra really gives you that feeling. I remember riding the lift all the way to the top and just pausing for a second when the doors opened. Everything feels airy and open up here and there is honestly a good sense of calm. You tend to take in the view before doing anything else because the windows are big and you can see all the way across Canberra from your own terrace. It is not just a surface level thing either. Sometimes I find myself just leaning by the glass, watching the clouds roll over the city. Even with so much happening outside, it feels kind of peaceful inside.
If you like having friends over or even if you just want wide open spaces, this penthouse makes it feel simple. The living and dining area is open plan so you can move around easily. The show kitchen looks sharp but it is also made for more than just looks. I could actually see myself cooking here. There is a decent amount of counter space. It is set up for real use so you do not feel like you have to keep everything spotless all the time. And if you are the sort who enjoys a Sunday morning breakfast with a view or an evening chat outdoors, the terrace is right there. You are high up but you do not feel cut off. If anything you get a bit of everything—fresh air, the city lights in the evening, a bit of the neighbourhood life going on down below.
Bedrooms matter too. Here you get two en suite bedrooms and then there is the master, which honestly feels more like a retreat. Walk in closet included, so you never have to argue with your partner about wardrobe space. The colour palette is pretty neutral and light which just makes the whole area feel bigger. Even if you have lived in big spaces before, you will notice the difference sunlight makes when the windows are this big.
Privacy is good here but you are not isolated. Every time I come through the building it is a quick elevator ride to the deck. That is where most people like to relax or maybe even swim a few laps in the heated pool. If you like to stay active, there is a proper gym and a yoga studio that feels bright even when it is early in the morning. And after a long week, the wellness centre with its spa and sauna draws you in. I have seen people set up in the executive dining lounge with friends or use the big chef's kitchen for something a bit special. Kids running to the indoor playroom is a usual sight in the afternoons. Sometimes you pass people you recognise in the wine cellar and it turns into an unplanned chat about the city and where to go next for dinner. This place really becomes its own little community.
You never really feel far from anywhere in the city. High Society is right in Belconnen so everything is close. Whether you need a quick trip to the shops or just want your morning coffee, you can keep it simple. On quiet evenings you just might spot the odd group of teenagers riding bikes down below or notice families heading out for a walk.
Sometimes properties feel too made up but this one feels like home. The only way you will ever know for sure is to come take a look for yourself. I am around if you want to see it or even just ask a few questions about what it is actually like to live here. At LuxuryProperty dot com we try our best to make your next move as easy as possible.
