Raising the bar: West Village, NYC right in the heart of Canberra

There’s just something about townhouses that Canberrans (and indeed almost any city dweller) love. Multistorey floor plans, usually an enviable locale, and striking the perfect balance between house and apartment, so you never have to choose. 

Yes, townhouses are one hot ticket item in the real estate stakes, but 121 Blamey Crescent in Campbell is raising the bar even higher. 

Designed by the same architects that illuminated the Kingston Foreshore promenade with Dockside, these five-tier treasures are next in line to contribute to the inner city’s luxurious landscape. 

“These are such individual townhomes that nothing else on the market compares,” the agent, Michael Lyristakis of Berkely Residential, says.

“The buyers we envisage living here are ones who love the West Village, NYC-home feel, with spacious living and bedroom arrangements over differing floors, offering the opportunity to live together but with great spaces for privacy.

Let’s take this floor by floor. 

The first level dazzles with a pristine palette of deep greys and white, underscored by engineered timber floors and custom timber cabinetry. If the high ceilings don’t surprise you when walking in, then perhaps the ceramic benchtops in the contemporary kitchen will; smooth, sleek, and just waiting to be broken in through some gourmet cooking. 

And what luxury townhouse would be complete without an al fresco terrace. Gated and stepping right onto the leafy street below, you never feel too far away from nature. 

The second floor is home to two generously proportioned bedrooms and a polished bathroom fitted with a high-walled, free-standing bathtub. But it’s the third floor where indulgence truly starts to sing.

“The third floor really is the focal point of the home,” Lyristakis says. 

“Offering an expansive master suite featuring a walk-in robe, oversized en suite with a bath and a dedicated study nook.”

This suite is anything but simple. Looking out the floor and wall-length glass windows with their minimalist black-trimmed frames, you may just feel that you’re floating above the clouds. 

Then up, up, up to the final and perhaps the most impressive level yet, we reach the entertainer’s penthouse. Hugged by balconies and sliding glass doors on either side, you’re treated to a light-filled and open space to make of it what you wish. 

“It’s the most versatile room in the home, one that can be utilised as a fourth bedroom, second living room or a home office,” Lyristakis says.

“Although the home is set across five floors, the inclusion of a personal lift ensures that getting from the garage to the top floor is effortless.”

Ease, opulence, and your very own elevator to take you up to the skies. It’s high-end living like you’ve never experienced before.
