There are townhouses, and then there’s 2/19 Forbes Street, where you can take your private lift from the basement garage to the rooftop terrace without spilling your coffee (or your evening vino, for that matter).

This newly built, tri-level home is modern high-end living made to feel effortless. With high ceilings, a standout steel staircase and flawless finishes from top to bottom, it makes a strong design statement while remaining deeply liveable.

Italian leather quartzite, Swiss V-Zug appliances and Italian tapware bring considered luxury, while comfort is added by inclusions such as zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning and electric in-slab heating throughout the ground floor.

The layout flows beautifully across all three floors. Neatly tucked underneath, two secure carparks hug the laundry.

On the ground floor, open-plan living and dining sit next to a showpiece kitchen with an oversized island bench, built-in appliances and soft, layered lighting.

A terrace lets you spread the living or entertaining outdoors.

Agent Antony Damiano of Bastion Property Group says the property is located in one of Canberra’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

“Experience refined urban living in this architect-designed townhouse, complete with a private lift, rooftop terrace and luxurious finishes, only about 800 metres to vibrant Braddon,” he says.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are spacious and private – the main boasts a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite – while upstairs again, the rooftop terrace is a true highlight: private, panoramic, and perfectly placed to catch views across to Black Mountain.

And yes, you really do have your own lift – an Italian-made four-person model connecting all levels.

It’s the kind of elevated living most home owners can only dream of.
