ABOUT THE PROJECT

This new development features eight, 2 bedroom contemporary townhouses configured over two levels. Thoughtfully designed for the modern home owner or tenant, it will provide carefree living at a hard-to-find low price point. The decor throughout is neutral, allowing the new owner to add their own personal touches. One carpark per townhouse adds to the convenience

The houses will be provided fully furnished including an open plan designer kitchen, Bosch kitchen appliances, a Fujitsu heat pump/air conditioning, washing machine, 43” or larger HD LED TV, USB charging power point, comfortable beds, curtains and blinds and more. Set on a quiet street, the grounds will be landscaped to create a comfortable outdoor living environment.

This central location is a short walk to all amenities; the Dinsdale Shopping Centre and public transport links for easy commute to the CBD (7 mins), Hospital (8 mins) and The Base (15 mins). The Dinsdale Shopping Centre contains a Countdown Supermarket, medical centre, café, restaurant and bar, public library, fruit and vegetable store, takeaways and much more. All 4-levels of schooling are nearby.

The development is for sale turnkey with a 10% deposit and nothing more to pay until settlement, when the houses will be completed, furnished and ready to live in. The low sale prices mean that these homes qualify for the first home buyer grant.
