Taking inspiration from chic townhouses in New York City and London, the brand new Tempus townhomes are like nothing Canberra has ever seen.In fact, <a href="/agents/sam-mcgregor/">Sam McGregor</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mcgrath-north-canberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McGrath Estate Agents</a> says the largest home in the 19-home complex, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18c-david-street-turner-act-2612-41946/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18C David Street</a> in Turner, is “the most premium townhouse currently on offer or ever sold in Canberra in recent years”.The striking four-bedroom home packs a punch before you even walk through the front door, with its stunning natural copper facade rising from fully landscaped gardens.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image6_b.width-800.jpg" width="800">“From the outside in, the architect-designed finishes are absolutely outstanding,” Mr McGregor said.“The raw and natural elements, such as copper, concrete, steel and Italian stone take inspiration from New York townhouses – you’ll see nothing else like it in Canberra.”Mr McGregor says he has fallen in love with the development as it has been constructed over the past two years, but the premium townhome, set over two levels, has taken his breath away upon its completion.The grand home boasts two master suites and multiple living areas with a huge, private entertaining terrace and four-car basement garage.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image3_X.width-800.jpg" width="800">Mr McGregor says the outdoor terrace is a stand-out feature and is perfect for year-round family entertaining.“The terrace is as big as a backyard in Gunghalin,” he said.“It’s really private and it has a beautiful aspect with views over the landscaped gardens to Black Mountain Tower,” he said.The basement garage has also been designed as a flexi-space, with room for all the toys, or you could convert part of the space into a rumpus room or home gym.“It’s huge and there’s so much you could do with the space,” he said.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image2_8.width-800.jpg" width="800">The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home and features Italian stone finishes that perfectly complement the gleaming polished concrete floors on the lower level.The living rooms and spacious lower master suite flow seamlessly to the terrace area.Upstairs, a second master or guest room with ensuite and two additional bedrooms take in majestic city and mountain views, while another family room, opening onto a balcony, is an ideal teenage retreat or office space.Mr McGregor says it’s rare to find off-street parking in Turner and the four-car garage is “incredible”.And to find an apartment of this quality and 182 square metres of living space just five minutes from Canberra’s CBD, he says, is “unheard of”.“This high-end home will suit people looking for great access to the city with an easy lifestyle, or downsizers that don’t want to sacrifice space and quality,” Mr McGregor added.“It’s a 10-minute walk to the city, three minutes to the light rail and just 400 metres to Turner shops with great cafes and restaurants.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image5_5.width-800.jpg" width="800">Of solid concrete construction, the townhome features ducted heating and cooling throughout and is extremely energy efficient with double glazing and solar passive design.This is a limited opportunity to live in a prestigious residence in a city locale unparalleled for plentiful, modern and peaceful amenity.To arrange an inspection of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18c-david-street-turner-act-2612-41946/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18C David Street</a>, Turner, contact <a href="/agents/sam-mcgregor/">Sam McGregor</a> on 0401 097 907 or <a href="/agents/craig-chapman/">Craig Chapman</a> on 0408 118 519.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/new-york-inspired-living-ups-the-ante-in-turner/463959" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>

New York-inspired living ups the ante in Turner

There’s something about that 1940s charm that wins you over every time.And <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/7-mccaughey-street-turner-act-2612-40880/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7 McCaughey Street in Turner</a> is no exception.Before you even enter this sympathetically renovated home, the stunning character-laden façade, enveloped by lush established gardens, will steal your heart.Sales agent <a href="/agents/jenny-michael-and-mark-mcreynolds/">Jenny McReynolds</a> from <a href="https://homebyholly.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> says the property is in impeccable condition inside and out, with many original features.<img alt="7-mccaughey-street-outside.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-mccaughey-street-outside.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The owners have taken so much pride in the place,” she said.“The gardens are beautiful and, although it’s been extended, the home still has that nice 1940s look and feel about it.”Mrs McReynolds says it’s unusual to find a home of the era in such great condition so close to the city.“They don’t come on the market often in Turner,” she said.“The location is the big drawcard for this property because it’s so close to the city and the Australian National University.”The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home wraps around a central courtyard and every room takes in magnificent garden views.<img alt="7-mccaughey-street-dining.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-mccaughey-street-dining_2B2NzhH.width-800.jpg" width="800">Mrs McReynolds says, with its large living spaces, high ceilings and picture windows, the home is open and light-filled.In the words of the owners, “this is a home that flows well and just works”.Being surrounded by green space and parkland, she says the home feels like a “city oasis”.“The proud residents of 37 years have produced an absolute haven both indoors and out,” Mrs McReynolds added.“Rarely will you find a home that has received so much love and attention.”<img alt="7-mccaughey-street-kitchen.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-mccaughey-street-kitchen.width-800.jpg" width="800">Purchased in 1984, the home is now more than double its original size; however, the additions were designed to blend beautifully with the original neighbourhood and character of the home.“A great deal of thought has been put into ensuring that the gardens are enjoyed from both inside and outside on any given day,” Mrs McReynolds said.To the front is the gorgeous formal living area with a bay window and slow combustion fireplace. At the rear is the sprawling combined kitchen, dining and family area where the large windows allow an abundance of natural light to stream in.Hard-wearing bamboo flooring is carried throughout the home and complements the character timber kitchen.<img alt="7-mccaughey-street-bed.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-mccaughey-street-bed.width-800.jpg" width="800">The four bedrooms are all large, with a huge master enjoying the luxury of an impressive ensuite with a re-enamelled cast iron bath, walk-in robe and external access to a private garden courtyard.The backyard is not overlooked by neighbours and has been made completely private with greenery, and there are plenty of outdoor nooks to soak up the sun or enjoy alfresco dining.Mrs McReynolds says the home is peaceful and, despite being relatively close to a major road, is very quiet and doesn’t feel like you are only a couple of minutes from the city.<img alt="7-mccaughey-street-outside-2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-mccaughey-street-outside-2.width-800.jpg" width="800">A large double full-brick garage ties in beautifully with the home, while a separate insulated study to the rear provides the perfect office or studio space.Stroll to the buzzing O’Connor shopping centre or take an easy walk to the City Centre and Braddon where you can wine and dine at a number of wonderful eateries or shop to your heart’s content.The property will go under the hammer at 11:00 am on Saturday, 22 May.View the much-loved <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/7-mccaughey-street-turner-act-2612-40880/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7 McCaughey Street</a> in Turner or contact <a href="/agents/jenny-michael-and-mark-mcreynolds/">Jenny, Michael or Mark McReynolds</a> on 0419 688 034 at<a href="https://homebyholly.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> home.byholly</a> and see all the other hot listings on <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zango</a>.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/1940s-charmer-comes-with-inner-city-benefits/458902" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>
