Boutique developments have a certain “je ne sais quoi” about them. Perhaps it’s the small community feel of a place where you get to know your neighbours by name. You give them a wave as you pass each other in the driveway and have no qualms dropping over for a cup of sugar or milk when you run out.
Or perhaps it’s because logistically they’re so much simpler to maintain. Strata fees are lower and there are no big body corporates to manage, which can be complicated and costly. They’re just easy, and easy sounds like the biggest breath of fresh air right now.
A development that encompasses all of the above is the newest to hit the market in Strathnairn – The Brosnan. Just nine three-bedroom and two or three bathroom townhomes that are thoughtfully designed, functional and uncomplicated.
“The intelligent use of space at the Brosnan is one of its best features,” says agent Robert Peaker of Blackshaw Projects.
“Downstairs, open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces seamlessly flow out onto private courtyards, giving each townhome easy indoor-outdoor living.”
“A private master suite, separate laundry and powder room complete the ground floor. Upstairs a second bedroom, flexible study or third bedroom and full bathroom with bath complete these homes,”
“There are minimal hallways or wasted space and more storage options than the average townhouse can provide, and each home comes with a decently sized two-car garage, as opposed to basement car parking,” he adds.
Standard inclusions are of optimal quality including ducted heating and cooling, stone benchtops and custom cabinetry in the kitchen, engineered timber floors to the downstairs living areas and full height tiling to the bathrooms. The homes also come with a solar panel system – a requirement of Strathnairn’s sustainable six-star Green Star community.
“The courtyards are sizeable in nature with enough space for young kids to run around, to entertain friends and family, or to potter around in a small but manageable garden if you wish to have one,” says Peaker.
Construction is due to start in the middle of this year, with completion expected by late 2022-early 2023.
