A unique 1930s gem in renowned "Barton Court", Canberra's first apartment building.

This charming 1934 Art Deco ground floor apartment, designed by Kenneth Oliphant, retains most of its original features including polished hardwood floor boards, a deep cast iron bath, solid art decor doors with sunrise door handles, a decorative staircase in the building entry way straight from a Frank Lloyd Wright architectural sketchbook, original timber picture rails and architraves and delightfully chic milk and bread delivery boxes. It also includes both a renovated kitchen and bathroom in keeping with the original design principles.
