New development: Townhouse luxury in Denman Prospect

They say people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. But for the lucky residents-to-be of Aberconway Rise, the people in these glass houses will have the most unbelievable views.

Perched atop a hillside in Denman Prospect, Aberconway Rise is a curated collection of one, two and three-bedroom townhomes.

Specialist construction and management firm Nikias Diamond is the developer behind the project, with Cox Architects taking on the design.

“Aberconway Rise is going to set a benchmark in affordable luxury, sustainability and quiet suburban living,” says agent Adam Jones of McGrath Projects.

“The contemporary homes look and feel luxurious. The tall ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows capture the expansive northerly views and fill the homes with natural light.

“The design of the homes has allowed for minimal upkeep and future maintenance.

“This has aided in the reduction of body corporate [fees], along with the fact that there are no pools, lifts or gyms.”

While amid the bustling energy of Canberra, Aberconway Rise maintains the intrinsic peace that can only be found in the Bush Capital’s suburbia.

Wake up to a glorious sunrise peeking over the hilltops as you enjoy your morning coffee – in fact, it might just be the best view in Canberra. Then get set to enjoy all that Canberra has to offer within just 15 minutes of whichever direction you choose to head as Denman Prospect is central to all of the city’s major town centres.

Over the hill is Stromlo Forest Park and its countless walking, cycling and mountain biking trails. There are also Cotter Reserve and Casuarina Sands reserve if you want to take your canoe or kayak for a spin.

For those interested in a more urban landscape, the Kingston Foreshore, Manuka, Braddon, the City and their plethora of quality restaurants, cafes and bars are just a short commute away.

The area immediately surrounding Aberconway Rise is rich in amenities, with the local shops just a quick stroll down the road. The much anticipated new IGA, The Farm, has recently opened in the area, bringing with it an abundance of fresh produce.

There will also be a Club Lime gym, dental surgery and chemist, alongside plenty of other retailers. But most importantly, the local shops will play host to a few cafes, meaning your next freshly brewed coffee is never far away.

Aberconway Rise is set to appeal to a range of buyers including first-home buyers, downsizers, young families, professionals and investors.

“First-home buyers, in particular, will love the one-bedroom plus study villas. Not only are they affordable, but they also feel like a regular home rather than an apartment,” says Jones.

“Downsizers will love that they can lock up and head off on their next holiday without having to worry about home maintenance.

“Growing families will be drawn to the affordability of the homes, with plenty of space in a premium suburb.

“Investors will enjoy the strong returns, particularly on the one-bedroom homes,” he adds.

Expected completion is mid-2020.
