The One worth waiting for: Boutique development of just seven townhouses coming to Braddon

How do you know when you’ve found “The One”?

A quick Google search reveals a few tell-tale signs: you’ve never felt so comfortable, you’re the best version of yourself, you’re filled with gratitude, no one has understood your needs more …

Of course, we’re not talking about your soulmate, but rather the home you’ve been waiting for.

If you’ve been on the hunt for that one-true home, then allow us to introduce you to Braddon’s newest development, The One.

Developed by Terry Ring and Associates, The One comprises seven three-bedroom townhouses that might just be exactly what you’ve been searching for.

“Each of the homes has frontage and street access to leafy Ijong Street, which is rare to see in new development these days,” says agent Theo Koutsikamanis of McGrath Estate Agents Dickson Projects.

The “opulent luxury” that sums up the townhouses at The One begins at the facade which features materials like precast concrete panels and double-glazed windows.

Out the back, each home includes a 40-square-metre landscaped courtyard which comes equipped with irrigation – so growing your own patch of green is a piece of cake.

The lavishness continues indoors with engineered oak flooring and masses of natural light flowing in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Each home contains both a powder room and separate laundry and the bathrooms feature in-slab heating.

But it’s in the kitchen that these homes really shine, with stone benchtops and waterfall edges, Miele appliances, dual ovens and 90-millimetre cooktops. And for the truly discerning (and stylish) cooks, there is an option to upgrade to a specialty SieMatic German kitchen.

“Some of the units have a second, completely separate living area,” says Koutsikamanis.

“This could be used as a playroom for children, media room, rumpus room or perhaps even a reading room or large office.”

While all homes feature a secure two-car garage, units one and two also have direct elevator access.

“These two homes are a touch more premium. What’s particularly appealing is the layout which positions the master bedroom on the top floor. It flows directly out to a fully paved rooftop terrace,” says Koutsikamanis.

Another lust-worthy feature is The One’s proximity to the nearby excitement of Lonsdale Street.

Within walking distance are some of Canberra’s favourite cafes, restaurants and bars. The smell of freshly baked bread will draw you into the depths of Sonoma, while the allure of an after-work drink at Assembly or Rizla is hard to turn down. Then there are the endless dinner options like Eightysix, Italian and Sons and Lazy Su.

Could this be a match made in heaven?

Expected completion is the first quarter of 2021.
