“You have to assemble your life yourself – action by action,” are the wise words of Marcus Aurelius.
This is the exact quote that darted through my mind when checking out South Jerrabomberra’s newest development, Assemble. Not just because of the obvious connection to the title, but because purchasing a home is one of the most important actions you can take to assemble your life.
The decision is never made lightly, no matter what life stage you’re in, and there are so many elements to consider. Is the home affordable? Does the layout meet your needs? What are the extra fees associated with the home? It goes on and on.
But delving into Assemble, it’s easy to begin checking things off your list of habitational needs (and to understand why just three remain on the market).
Spacious, low maintenance, affordable, expertly built, quality finishes. But perhaps most exciting of all is that this gathering of homes is strata free.
“Assemble is a development of separately titled, three-bedroom terrace-style homes in South Jerrabomberra,” says agent Lucy MacGregor of Ian McNamee & Partners.
“Not only will the buyer own the land their home is situated on, they also won’t have to pay any strata levies.”
For ACT residents, crossing the border to the “dark side” (i.e. Queanbeyan) now doesn’t seem so dark at all. Owning a home at Assemble is affordable and doesn’t come coupled with the crippling land tax that seems to pop out of nowhere four times per year. Now, that money can go directly into the holiday fund instead.
Along with low costs, there’s plenty more to love about Assemble.
“Built by the multi-award-winning MSL Projects and designed by the coveted TM Architecture team, every stage of Assemble’s development has had an expert approach, ensuring an inspired finished product,” says MacGregor.
“The layout is a terrace style design with both floor plans featuring three bedrooms upstairs and two living spaces downstairs. Both designs have front and back courtyards and have parking access at the rear.”
The interior palette is equally fresh and homely. Home is more like a peaceful haven and laden with contemporary and sensible design. Think slate, warm timber tones, accents of green, expanses of glass and lashings of natural light.
Located within a five-minute walk of the South Jerrabomberra Village Centre and a five-minute drive from the Jerrabomberra Shopping Village, residents are within easy reach of amenity while being surrounded by vast open spaces, spectacular vistas, beautiful parks and breathtaking nature strips.
“I think this is an awesome investment opportunity, where a buyer can claim depreciation and pay minimal bills while possibly seeing considerable projected capital growth on the property,” says MacGregor.
Completion is expected by the end of 2022.
