'Connected by a Green Village': New development slated for Narrabundah

Once upon a time, Narrabunbah was a suburb known for many reasons, including (but not limited to) the mysterious house with the roof full of furniture.

Now, the suburb has become one of Canberra’s most coveted – perhaps it’s because of the beautiful tree-lined streets, the enormous blocks, or its proximity to hubs like Manuka and Kingston.

Whatever the reason, Narrabundah is a suburb you’ll likely want a slice of and with developments like Kiara hitting the market, now is your perfect chance.

Kiara is a collection of 19 three and four-bedroom townhouses and 158 one, two and three-bedroom apartments developed by Amalgamated Property Group and built by Milin Builders.

“Connected by a Green Village with large, landscaped open spaces, Kiara has been designed to blend in with the low-rise homes of the area,” says agent Nicholas Jacob of Independent.

“It follows the axis of Stuart Street, creating a direct sight-line to one of the most quintessentially Canberran vistas, which includes Black Mountain, Telstra Tower and Parliament House.”

The facade incorporates a combination of classic brick, modern Colorbond and soft, timber-look vertical features, along with an abundance of glass. The end result blends harmoniously with the green surrounds, ensuring it never looks out of place and has a timeless appeal.

Inside, the residences are defined by their comfort and space, while also capturing natural sunlight and surrounds.

“Purchasers have the choice of three distinct colour schemes – light, medium and dark – and the option of selected upgrades to personalise their home,” says Jacob.

Each home has a private balcony or generous courtyard, meaning all can enjoy the soul-boosting benefits of the calm, leafy outlooks. Other features include floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows, Bosch kitchen appliances and a glass-encased communal gym.

The three-bedroom apartments and townhouses are particularly enticing, with timber flooring in the living areas, ducted heating and cooling and under-tile heating in the bathrooms and en suites.

When you want to venture outside, the communal green space is an ideal spot to gather your thoughts while listening to a podcast. It also backs onto the local playing fields and is within walking distance to Manuka and Kingston.

But you might not even need to go that far, because the local shops boast some of our city’s favourite restaurants including XO, which was newly awarded a prestigious Chef’s Hat.

According to Jacob, the location, along with the mix of homes on offer, will appeal to a range of buyers.

“Downsizers will love the lower maintenance lifestyle that doesn’t compromise on space and quality, younger families will appreciate the generous courtyards and direct access to the oval, and first-home buyers and investors will enjoy the range of affordable apartments within the highly desirable Inner South,” says Jacob.

Expected completion is the end of 2021.
