New development: Parkside townhouse living in the heart of Turner

Haig Parkside is the definition of “the best of both worlds”.

This exclusive boutique development is situated on a quiet tree-lined street, overlooking the heritage-listed Haig Park yet on the fringe of CBD.

Delivered by award-winning Bellevue Building and DNA Architects, HAIG Parkside offers just 12 luxurious three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouses with various floor plans to cater for different lifestyles.

“Each home boasts over 170 square meters of living space,” says agent Rowan Glanville of Hayman Partners, Projects.

“Owners have the ability to customise their home by working with the builder and interior designer to create something both unique and welcoming.

“There are also options to have the master bedroom either downstairs or upstairs or even whether or not to include a private lift and plunge pool in these executive residences.”

The townhouses have all the makings of a luxe, full-sized home, minus the associated heavy maintenance. Each contains an entrance hall, dining room, family room, lounge room, study, three-car garage, and private courtyard and outdoor entertaining area

The designer kitchen features Miele appliances, stone benchtops and walk-in pantry, while the generously sized bathrooms have free-standing stone baths and Apaiser vanities (Apaiser are like the Chanel of the bathroom world … bath couture, if you will).

The development itself is orientated to the north and designed around a central atrium courtyard which allows for plenty of natural light and cross-ventilation throughout each residence.

The architecture balances contemporary design with the old, Inner North surrounds. It features high-end, robust materials such as timber battening, copper and brickwork that contrast yet are cleverly used to work in harmony with each other.

“The homes are also set to incorporate recycled, original Canberra red bricks,” adds Glanville.

Haig Parkside is just a stroll to the city centre and also conveniently just one block away from the top end of Lonsdale Street and some of Canberra’s best foodie landmarks.

The likes of Italian & Sons and 86 are obvious options for date night, while Grease Monkey, The Mandalay Bus and Frugii Dessert Laboratory take care of casual get-togethers with friends. Then there’s the sweet smell of freshly baked bread and pastry from Sonoma Bakery to entice you down the street every weekend.

Glanville believes Haig Parkside will appeal to a range of buyers, particularly young professionals and downsizers.

“Young professionals want the central location and low-maintenance lifestyle. Downsizers will seek the space, light, their own backyard and the ability to lock and leave the home,” he says.

Expected completion is the end of 2020.
