Living in the now: Boutique townhouse development coming to Strathnairn

By now, you’re probably feeling quite COVID-fatigued. After all, this pandemic has drastically changed and dictated our lives for the past 16 or so months and we’re longing for things to go “back to normal” – however that may look.

But you can’t deny that there is one thing this experience has taught all of us, and that’s to live in the moment, because no one knows what tomorrow will hold.

“Living in the now is what life is all about,” says agent Josh Morrissey of HIVE Property Canberra.

“And when you’re spending so much time at home, you want to ensure that being able to live in the moment is maximised with the right property choice.”

NOW is a boutique collection of 17 three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouses with a beautiful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

“The homes offer spaces to live that you don’t want to leave. It’s the key to great design, and they nail that,” Morrissey says.

Northerly appointed, the townhouses emanate warmth and breathing space. Contrary to the typical townhouse feel of living on top of your neighbour, NOW is quite the opposite.

“The design fundamentals are anchored around the smart use of light and scale. Wide grids and high ceilings add a sense of grandeur to townhouse living, which at times isn’t known for these attributes,” Morrissey says.

Built by SM Precision, the homes are laid out across two storeys. Open-plan living areas flow to al fresco outdoor spaces that make full use of the home’s northerly aspect. Main bedrooms feature both a walk-in robe and en suite, which is arguably more impressive than some of the older homes currently on the market.

Study nooks make for the perfect home office for designated work-from-home days. And multi-purpose rooms allow you to customise the home based on your needs and life stage – media room, games room, playroom or even home gym. It’s your home and your choice.

“Three interior design palette options give the buyer more choice and more opportunity to make the home their own,” Morrissey says.

“We think this means the homes will attract first-home buyers and general buyers looking to enter the market. NOW is designed to actually service the market as a quality option to live in or invest.”

And with suburb records breaking across Canberra time and time again, young buyers can use a leg up into the market with property options that are reasonably priced and well built, with all the space they need.

Josh describes the area surrounding the development as quiet and sunlit. Look beyond this and on one side you’ll find stunning river corridors, recreational picnic areas and conservation areas. The other is full of amenity. The Kippax shops are a couple of kilometres away and the Belconnen Town Centre is up the road.

Expected completion is mid-2022.
