Denman Prospect

With Rosalie Iannelli

If you’re the kind of person who likes to stand out from the crowd, then you’ll adore the home at 18 Freebury Street in Denman Prospect.

Commanding the street, you’ll for evermore feel excited to roll into the driveway and bask in the glory that this is your very own haven – an escape from the real world.

The house hits the ultimate trifecta being brand new, architect-designed and spread across three levels with panoramic views of Molonglo Valley and Black Mountain from the main living spaces. 

The floor plan offers expansive living for growing families and promises a life of comfort and luxury. 

18 Freebury Street, Denman Prospect

Upon entry, the high level of detail will hit you like a slap in the face. At first, you’re greeted with grand ceilings almost six metres high, wide hallways and large tiling, which leads the way to your open-plan setting. 

Down a set of stairs, you’ll meet living areas, each of which opens to a decked courtyard and a covered al fresco area. 

The upper level offers a parent’s wing that, I won’t lie, would be difficult to pull yourself away from each day. The main bedroom is called a grand suite for good reason, offering an abundance of space, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. 

Next door is a library that best serves as a quiet place to work from home. This opens to a private balcony to lure you outside for regular breaks. The upstairs rumpus room can also act as a parent’s-only area when you need extra time to yourself.

Duffy

Autumn is my favourite season and this home is the reason with mature trees surrounding the home that have taken on their autumnal hues.

You’ll find me by the al fresco area, sipping my morning coffee and admiring the landscaped gardens. And in the evenings, I’ll happily sit around the fire pit area with a stick in hand and a toasted marshmallow and chocolate wedged between two biscuits – relaxing, right?

Inside is just as warm and inviting, with spacious bedrooms including a main bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a stand-alone bathtub and shower.

The split-level design of the home offers multiple living zones, including the main living room with a fireplace, which will be a welcome treat as winter rolls in.

Other features include spotted gum floors, a kitchen that seamlessly connects to the al fresco area and an oversized double garage.

Greenleigh

Character and charm come to mind when I look at this property.

Nestled in more than 8000 square metres of land, this home is surrounded by nature with peace and quiet a fellow camaraderie with a large garden shed that could easily be an art studio or play room.
