For the owner, 48/6 Makinson View was intended to mark a fresh start. After spending her life in Sydney and raising a family there, Canberra offered a change of scenery while still keeping family close by. Buying off the plan gave her the opportunity to secure a modern, low-maintenance home in a growing part of the city, with the convenience of Denman Prospect and the wider Molonglo Valley close at hand.
Before making the move, circumstances changed and ultimately, she chose to remain in Sydney. As a result, the apartment has never been lived in and remains essentially brand new, ready for someone else to make it their own. What she has always looked forward to having was the balcony outlook towards the nearby shops, playground and planned school site, reflecting the connected and convenient lifestyle she had originally pictured here.
THE HOME
The apartment brings the kitchen, dining and living spaces together in an easy open plan arrangement, with built-in storage helping keep the main living zone uncluttered. The kitchen is finished with quality finishes that include a 20mm quartz benchtops complemented by a suite of Franke appliances including a 600mm induction cooktop, built-in oven, freestanding dishwasher and undermount rangehood.
The bedroom provides its own private retreat with carpet and a built-in robe, while dedicated TV and data points add everyday practicality. Nearby, the bathroom is fully tiled finished with a floating vanity, toilet & shower.
Comfort has been considered throughout, with double-glazed aluminium windows and sliding doors, flyscreens, European style laundry, Watson blinds and split system reverse-cycle air conditioning. Electric instantaneous hot water, LED downlights and pre-wiring for NBN connection further support a home designed to be straightforward from the moment you move in.
The balcony extends the living space outdoors and takes in the outlook towards the nearby shops, playground and planned school site. Garaged parking with additional storage provides further practicality, while visitor parking within the complex makes it easier to accommodate family and friends.
THE LOCATION
Denman Prospect places everyday amenity and outdoor recreation close at hand. Denman Village provides local shopping and services nearby, while Stromlo Leisure Centre, Stromlo Forest Park and the surrounding Molonglo Valley walking and cycling network are all within an easy commute.
The apartment is also positioned close to local playgrounds and the planned school site, with straightforward road connections towards Weston Creek, Woden, the Parliamentary Triangle and Canberra City.
