Introducing Valerie: The boutique development coming to Dickson this year

Sitting pretty in Dickson, on leafy and ever-so-peaceful Stockdale Street, is a block that was once home to a lovely local lady.

Today, the spot is being given new life, with preparations underway for a four-home boutique development named Valerie.

Valerie will consist of four three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car townhouses that are architect-designed and developed and built by Shaw Building Group.

“Shaw Building Group are a trusted and award-winning local building company that has been providing exceptional quality builds through their proven abilities and capabilities for over 35 years,” says agent Will Honey of The Property Collective

The company’s residential development division was formed to build on its well-earned reputation as one of the region’s most accomplished commercial builders, Honey adds.

Shaw Building Group is well-known for its quality homes in the capital and surrounding region, as demonstrated by their recognition through accolades such as the Master Builders Awards for Construction Excellence.

“The quality of the homes at Valerie is going to be high. Having started on time, construction has already commenced and is on track to be delivered around September this year,” Honey says.

The four homes have been carefully considered to make the most of all available space and natural light. With a less-is-more attitude, the developers have opted for minimal townhouses to ensure more than ample space is offered across each of them 

“This will heavily improve the design outcome of the project and liveability when finished,” Honey says. “They’re more like full-sized homes as opposed to townhouses.

“It’s especially evident when you look at the ground-level garages attached to the homes, instead of basement car parking, which you would normally see in a typical development like this.”

Other features include timber floors, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout, 600-millimetre Fisher & Paykel appliances and expansive courtyards.

Valerie’s location is a highly sought-after pocket of the Inner North, in a fully established area that’s within walking distance of the soon-to-be upgraded Dickson shops, the light rail, and a short drive to Mount Majura for all the nature buffs.

Brand-new daycare facilities will be built close by, while established primary and high schools in the area offer plenty of opportunities for growing families.

“The homes are ideal for live-in owners looking for low-maintenance lifestyles, [such as] young professionals with a couple of children who want to remain close to the city for work, or downsizers and empty-nesters who don’t want big yards,” Honey says.

“The way that the homes are designed is going to facilitate a great little community within the development, too.”
