<p data-block-key="4c1js">“Most of the time these properties get purchased off-the-plan and never see the light of day again,” Antony says.</p><p data-block-key="1gk67">“It’s an extremely unique opportunity to be buying a property like this in a brand new building that’s only nine months old.”</p><p data-block-key="5n58p">Appropriately named The Griffin, the building sits on one of the most prized sites in Canberra, only a stone’s throw from the capital’s most famous landmarks. As the only residential development in Parkes aside from the Archbishop’s residence, it took a lengthy planning process and close consultation with the National Capital Authority to ensure it fit with Walter Burley Griffin’s vision.</p><img alt="253-44-constitution-avenue-parkes-act-2600-85028-image-0-20230821053154165647-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533"

highest possible standard,” Antony says.</p><p data-block-key="95ib0">“It took quite a formal, masculine appearance to match Parliament House and the National Library.”</p><p data-block-key="a8sgr">Other iconic Canberra landmarks in the new owner’s backyard include Lake Burley Griffin and Commonwealth Park (with direct pedestrian access to each), both of which are visible from the penthouse’s wrap-around 70 sqm-plus balcony.</p><img alt="253-44-constitution-avenue-parkes-act-2600-85028-image-0-20230821053154462115-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image

formal and informal living and dining areas, along with the rare addition of an in-wall gas fireplace and a segregated multipurpose room.</p><p data-block-key="booc5">“You could use it as a study,

Luxury home with birds-eye view of Floriade hits the market

<p>For a city designed around lakes and waterways, Canberra has not traditionally had a lot of options for water-side living. But thanks to a wide range of new developments, finding an abode with water views from your balcony, lounge or even your bed is becoming more common. Here are four homes, available for sale right now on Zango, where you can lap up water views every day of the year.</p><h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/24-6-trevillian-quay-kingston-act-2604-28812/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>24/6 Trevillian Quay, Kingston</b></a></h4><p>Waterfront living doesn’t get much closer or come much more spectacular in Canberra than the Kingston Foreshore, and you can enjoy it in style in this two bedroom sub-penthouse apartment. It boasts a 180 degree outlook thanks to a wraparound balcony, with captivating panoramic sunrise to sunset views across Kingston Foreshore and back towards Canberra CBD over Lake Burley Griffin. The apartment has a gourmet kitchen plus spacious living and dining areas, and floor to ceiling double glazed windows throughout ensure you can enjoy the views no matter where you are in the apartment. Just a quick ride down the lift and you also get to enjoy all the vibrant foreshore has to offer.</p><p></p><h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/36-35-chandler-street-belconnen-act-2617-28599/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>36/35 Chandler Street, Belconnen</b></a></h4><img alt="3635 Chandler Street BELCONNEN.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3635_Chandler_Street_BELCONNEN.width-800.png" width="800"><p>The Lake Ginninderra foreshore is now the buzzing home to a number of developments with plenty of opportunities to live lakeside, like this two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. Nestled on the fifth floor, its wraparound balcony offers views over John Knight Memorial Park and along the entire expanse of Lake Ginninderra. Inside is designed for easy living, with a stylishly appointed kitchen, bedrooms with lake views, two generously sized bathrooms, and a whole lot more storage space than you’d usually find in an apartment.

As well as a spacious open plan kitchen, living and dining area on the ground floor, it has a rumpus room on the upper level, along with the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The townhouse sits on the quiet side of the lake surrounded by natural parkland, but it’s still just a short walk to Tuggeranong Town Centre.</p><p></p><h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/113-macs-reef-road-bywong-nsw-2621-27287/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>113 Macs Reef Road, Bywong</b></a></h4><img alt="113 Macs Reef Road, Bywong.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="490" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/113_Macs_Reef_Road_Bywong.width-800.png" width="800"><p>Want private waterfront living?
