Your own space at your own pace. Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? The promise of a life slowed down – or sped up, if that’s what you prefer. There’s no judgment here.
The point is, it’s a life lived the way you want to live it and that’s what Denman Prospect’s newest address, Marlu, pledges.
Made up of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses, Marlu was created for live-in home owners.
“The homes are larger than average with over 90 square metres of living space in the two-bedroom apartments alone and over 100 square metres in the townhouses,” says agent James Herbert of LJ Hooker Project Marketing.
“Generous balconies and courtyards give a further sense of space and will be used by the home owners for summer barbecues and entertaining.”
Architecturally designed by Stewart Architecture to seamlessly fit into the surrounding landscape, Marlu enjoys northern frontage. This allows the majority of homes to overlook the Molonglo Valley and Black Mountain.
“The aspect opens the apartments to flooding of natural light, but also means the average energy rating is 8.4 stars,” says Herbert.
“Many of the apartments even achieve a nine-star rating or more, which means low energy costs and year-round comfort for residents.”
Inside the homes are lavishly curated by Dept. of Design to feel sophisticated and elegant, while enabling easy living. Two colour palette options are contemporary but sure to stand the test of time.
The light option is uplifting, filling the space with warmth, a sense of openness and a touch of glamour. Alternatively, the dark palette makes a statement with luxurious and moody textures and tones.
“The list of inclusions, fittings and finishes in one of the best in the region with stunning brushed metal Parisi hardware and fittings, hybrid timber floors, high range tiles, 100 per cent wool carpets, Swiss Franke appliances, soft-close and shadow-lined joinery, waterfall stone benchtops, full-height glazing and high ceilings,” Herbert says.
But it’s the included amenity that really ignites the senses. Elevated on level two is the residents’ entertaining area, complete with a pool and cardio and weights gym, which both have views across the Molonglo Valley.
“This is a first for developments in Denman Prospect,” Herbert says.
“Landscaped garden beds and a covered communal deck flow through to the pool area, providing a space for residents to relax or come together to socialise.”
And the outdoor recreation doesn’t stop there. Within easy reach are plenty of active weekend adventures including bushwalking trails, mountain biking tracks, river valley walks and the new Stromlo Leisure Centre.
“It’s also just a short walk to the Denman Village Shops and the Molonglo Valley Group Centre which will offer a full commercial and retail precinct for residents of the Molonglo Valley,” adds Herbert.
Construction begins next month, with completion expected in early to mid-2022.
