Case study: The right time to sell Kingston 'sky home' apartment

A winter home sale is just a matter of the right timing for Kingston apartment dweller Janette Sloan.

“We didn’t really think about the season; we just found another property nearby that we wanted to buy,” she says.

Janette and her husband David have put their top floor “sky home” in the Element complex at Kingston Foreshore on the market.

The spacious, two-storey, three-bedroom apartment enjoys commanding lake views and has given the Sloans their first experience of down-sized living.

“We moved into it from a traditional family-sized home in Narrabundah,” Janette says.

“It was time to reduce the amount of maintenance and responsibility that goes with a bigger home and block.”

Janette says the apartment and living in Kingston Foreshore has been a revelation in lifestyle.

“The apartment is beautifully designed and has plenty of space for us and our guests,” she says.

“We also really love the water views and living close by restaurants and cafes.”

Janette says a strong sense of community has developed in the precinct and new friendships have developed, often over a cup of coffee.

“You’re always bumping into a neighbour and having a chat,” she says.
