Denman Prospect

With Rosalie Iannelli

If there was ever a house to not be judged by its cover, it’s the one at 6 Freebury Street, Denman Prospect.

You’d be forgiven for walking right on by on any given evening and thinking it’s just another cute, quaint and petite new build in the Molonglo Valley – but how mistaken you’d be.

Sure, it’s adorable, but it’s also striking, spacious and unique. The split-level design makes for an interesting floor plan that adequately separates the living areas.

Starting at the entrance, a spacious main suite – with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite – occupies the first level.

6 Freebury Street Denman Prospect

Make your way down a few stairs and you’re in the heart of the home: an expansive living room with a raked ceiling that radiates elegance and sophistication.

It’s the ideal setting for everything from intimate gatherings to glamorous parties, with direct access to a private deck with atmospheric festoon lighting strung overhead and a firepit for year-round entertaining.

Descend a few more steps and you’ll find yourself on the kitchen and family level, and enthralled by the sprawling vistas across the valley and towards Telstra Tower.

This is the cherry on top of the ice-cream sundae that is this home.

The family room opens to a secondary entertaining deck that doubles the size of the liveable space, providing even more temptation to host a soiree against this incredible backdrop.

Phillip

This north-facing two-bedroom apartment offers a lifestyle that family and friends would envy. Let’s start with the wide entrance hallway.

The shared bathroom is on the left with the main bedroom further down the hall with a sizeable en suite and its own private balcony. The second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe.

The living and dining room is open and the kitchen, with its sleek lines and neutral decor, enjoys plenty of storage and quality stainless steel appliances.

But it is the views that are the highlight of the home. Imagine treetop autumnal views and Telstra Tower in the distance – pure bliss. It’s also conveniently located near Woden Town Centre, the Hellenic Club and arterial roads that provide easy access to Canberra’s popular hotspots.

Griffith

This three-bedroom apartment feels much like a standalone house nestled within The Archer development.

With floor-to-ceiling windows, a wealth of natural light floods the living spaces and his home has balcony spaces at each end – one accessed via the living and main bedrooms and the other from the remaining bedrooms.

Other features include double-glzed windows for year-round comfort, ample storage throughout and ducted heating and cooling.

Generously-sized spaces, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, generously sized bedrooms, a high-quality kitchen with premium stone and common areas that’ll make living that much easier.

Located adjacent to Glebe Park and Canberra Centre, this apartment is on the doorstep of some of the city’s best bars, cafes and restaurants.
