Secure & stylish
WITH two of these five cleverly designed townhouses already snatched up by astute buyers, time is of the essence here.
The Habitus Group has an enviable reputation for delivering sustainable and accessible homes that target a diverse demographic, and these are a perfect example.
Units 2 and 3 include two bedrooms, a mezzanine office with skylights, vaulted ceiling, and a 2.4m ceiling stud, all of which lift these townhouses several levels above normal expectations.
The attractive kitchens, with white gloss-finish joinery with softclose drawers and doors, include contemporary subway tiling, good storage and food preparation areas, and quality appliances, including a dishwasher.
Incorporating universal design for wheelchair accessibility, you’ll find wider doors, turning room in the tiled, wet-floor bathroom and common areas, and flush-level floors to outdoor areas.
The signature style of the Habitus Group is evident in this well-specified development which uses cedar and brick veneer cladding, a Colorsteel roof and the absolute reassurance of being built under the rigorous postearthquake building code.
This is serious style and clever design, low on maintenance and high on impact defined by clean lines and an uncluttered aesthetic.
No opportunity has been missed in creating spaces with enormous appeal, using clean lines, quality materials and positioning the living area to take every advantage of sun and light.
Spending time on living rather than home maintenance is always an attractive proposition and this is reinforced by the higher than standard build specifications of these townhouses.
Thicker insulation, foundation side-slab insulation, double glazing and thermally broken aluminium joinery provide a warm, energyefficient home and are all partnered with quality fixtures and a particular focus on detail and finish.
Like all Habitus Group’s developments, this one has all the advantages of being set in an established community.
Spreydon’s many attractions include a quick 10-minute commute to the city and proximity to the many parks and schools in the area.
The neighbouring boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, along with the many recreational opportunities offered by the Pioneer Leisure Centre, and Adventure Park, have made this a popular, sought-after location for many.
Each townhouse comes with its own freehold title, which means there are no body corporate fees to worry about and the design is such that any number of personal interior decorating styles can be accommodated.
This is very much affordable living essentially designed to provide accessible living for singles, professional couples, retirees, those with mobility requirements or firsttime buyers.
If you’re the first-home buyer using Kiwisaver, you should be in quick here as there is potentially a Kiwisaver home grant of up to $20,000 available for these desirable townhouses.
Only 10 per cent deposit is needed as a down payment and the balance payable on the issue of the code of compliance and title, which comes with all the benefits of a MasterBuild 10-year warranty.
Not surprisingly, previous developments by the Habitus Group and Holloway Builders have sold out fast, a testament to the seamless collaboration between the Habitus Group and Holloway Builders.
Affordable, undeniably attractive and available, but possibly not for long.
You’ll want to be quick off the mark for this one, which comes with a free one-hour interior colour consultation, all product warranties and a client handover pack which includes drawings, photos, guarantees and the story of your build.
