“Location, location, location,” is a motto you will often hear in the real estate world. It’s based on the advice that buying in the right location, no matter how superb or abysmal a house may be, will secure you a great investment.
But what if you could have your cake and eat it too? That is, what if you could have the ideal home in an ideal location, without an outlandish price tag to match?
That’s exactly what the new Joyero townhomes brings to the market.
“A boutique development of just eight exclusive homes, Joyero has been designed and constructed with quality in mind,” says agent Mario Sanfrancesco of Blackshaw Projects.
“They offer the ultimate inner-city living at just 300 metres from the nearest tram stop and within walking distance to some of the best bars, restaurants and cafes Canberra has to offer.”
There are two and three-bedroom options available, combining simplicity with state-of-the-art selections and premium finishes.
Designed by DNA Architects, light and space have been cleverly optimised to ensure the homes feel bright, airy and open, despite the narrower floor plans.
Uniformity is seen in the interior design with a natural earthy colour palette achieved through timber features, natural marble stone and custom timber joinery. When you walk inside, there is an immediate sense of calm and tranquillity – a welcomed response given the chaotic nature of the world outside.
Luxury can be found in all areas of the home, from the engineered timber floors through to the heated towel rails in the bathroom.
Every ounce of space in this split-level layout has been put to good use, whether it’s extra storage, breakout spaces for entertaining, or the ingenious study nook underneath the staircase.
The designer kitchen will draw in even the most novice of cooks as it comes equipped with quality SMEG appliances. This includes a built-in pyrolytic oven, a built-in microwave with grill and a 900-millimetre gas cooktop.
In fact, it would be a shame not to host brunch, lunch or dinner gatherings with loved ones. Especially when there is a courtyard that’s perfect for an outdoor dining and lounge set.
And when all is said and done, you can head upstairs to your private balcony and enjoy the setting sun with a wine in hand.
“The view towards the city from unit one is particularly spectacular,” says Sanfrancesco.
Unless a night out is on the cards, when the tram that’s quite literally across the road will prove quite handy.
Venture north to Dickson shops to tuck into delicious dumplings or a theatrical teppanyaki display, or head south to experience Braddon’s finest fusion restaurants and watering holes.
Whichever way you go, you’ll be at your destination in less than 10 minutes.
Joyero is complete and ready to move in.
