New development Rockwell offers opulent living in Bruce

Once known only for possessing Canberra’s biggest sporting arenas and arguably our “second-best” university, Bruce has seen a residential explosion in the past few years. The latest offering to hit the market is Rockwell – a development home to 53 high-end terraces.

Rockwell will bring a touch of opulence to the suburb. It offers a range of two and three-bedroom townhouses that encompass the perfect balance of luxury and convenience.

“The homes have a beautiful standard of living across a range of practical and sizeable floor plans,” says agent David Shi, of LJ Hooker Project Marketing.

“They have been designed with the owner-occupier in mind, and flow beautifully from the indoors out.”

“All properties feature large living zones and plenty of storage, as well as balconies and courtyards that have been created for low maintenance.”

But the true allure is in the subtle details that make Rockwell a pleasure to reside in. These include generous storage and internal access to the double garage with a built-in wine wrack, even more enclosed storage and provisions for an electric vehicle charging station.

Inside is everything you would expect to find in a luxurious home, like LED downlights and feature lighting, AEG appliances in the kitchen (including a built-in microwave and integrated dishwasher) and engineered timber floors.

Quality materials give the townhouses plenty of visual appeal. Accents of timber and stone create a sense of warmth and elegance, and provide a not so subtle contrast to the external facade that features robust brick and designer cladding.

According to Shi, Rockwell is likely to appeal to owner-occupiers who are looking to downsize or simply embrace a comfortable standard of living.

“They are especially going to love the amount of storage available,” says Shi.

“One of the things we hear from downsizing buyers is that they do not want to get rid of everything they have treasured over the years when moving to a new build – so we know storage is so important.”

In a coveted and established suburb, Rockwell offers buyers a desirable location. There are plenty of cafes and bars within walking distance, as well as an abundance of leisure options like the Australian Institute of Sport and GIO Stadium.

Nestled between the city and the Belconnen town centre also makes for a hassle-free commute to and from work or a trip shopping at the weekends.

Although if you prefer the outdoors, the nearby bushland contains many walking and cycling trails to enjoy.
