Construction commenced this month on Templestowe’s first luxury apartment development, Serpells Place (27 – 29 Serpells Road, Templestowe), with the award-winning team behind the project appointing Melbourne builder FOURSQ.
The development comprises 20 house-sized apartments including two penthouses, and brings luxury apartment living to this previously unheralded suburb. To date, the project has been incredibly well received, with one of its two penthouses breaking suburb records.
The build will bring to life award winning KUD Architects four-level design taking advantage of the site’s slope and stunning northern vistas, which incorporates fluid structural curves, timber floors, porcelain tiles, natural stone, and integrated fireplaces. Aiming to blur the lines between inside and out, soaring glazed windows provide seamless outlooks to the landscaping and natural
surroundings, giving residents the feeling of being wholly immersed in nature.
“Many properties in Templestowe are sitting on acreage, and as many of our buyers are from this area, they’re not willing to compromise on the illusion of space. That’s why the oversized residences with luscious green views, spacious courtyards and soaring windows are so important to this development, as it truly sets it apart,” said Pontem Group Director Fil Gacesa – handling the
Sales & Marketing for Serpells Place.
“With Serpells Place, like most other developments in Australia, we are bringing a project to life in challenging conditions in terms of construction costs, labour shortages and supplier delays. We are excited to be able to bring luxury apartment living to Templestowe with a confident completion date in 2024,” said Fil.
On its recent appointment, FOURSQ’s Director James Hayter said the team is eager to bring its multi-residential prowess to Templestowe.
“We’ve completed a multitude of similar projects around Glen Iris, Hawthorn, and Balwyn, and look forward to bringing Templestowe’s first luxury apartment project to life,” he said.
The heart of each home features a larger than usual entertainer’s dream-like kitchen with a striking island bench, adorned in an elegant and durable grey marble, complete with V-ZUG appliances and sophisticated tapware.
Residents will also have access to tranquil garden retreats designed by John Patrick including ground floor courtyards and spacious terraces, providing an idyllic backdrop for outdoor entertaining and pleasant, private relaxation. According to Sales Agency Pontem Group, features such as this are acting as a major drawcard for buyers to date.
