Why apartments at Killarney Ponds in Box Hill are suiting the family buyer: Urban Buyer Q&A
A growing family and a long-term commitment to a lifestyle that ticked all the boxes were the two key drivers behind the recent purchase of a penthouse at Killarney Ponds in Box Hill.
Killarney Ponds, the new development by Kellarney Developments that is slated for completion early next year, has been intentionally designed so it not only offers larger-scale apartments than any other new development in the area, but the community facilities to match, creating an environment where its residents can thrive privately and socially.
We recently spoke with a buyer of one of the penthouse apartments to hear firsthand why they bought in Killarney Ponds.
The young family secured a two-level penthouse, with three bedrooms set privately on the second level, away from the main kitchen, living and dining space. The apartment, including terraces, spans around 140 sqm, one of the biggest apartments in Box Hill.
The buyer spoke not only about the rarity of such an apartment, but also about the facilities within the building that they intend to use. Residents will have access to a function room, outdoor barbecue area, and playground on level one, along with a gym and technology hub on level two.
There's also an exclusive rooftop terrace reserved just for the penthouse owners.
Speaking about Buying off the plan for the first time, the purchaser said it suited their needs because the family didn't need to move in straight away.
"We wanted to find the right place because this is a long-term decision that we're making for our family," the buyer said.
"It's a 10+ year decision for us, so we didn't want to rush into looking for an established place if we didn't need to. we would rather wait, and when we saw the opportunity, and say all the boxes were ticked, we jumped on it and it was a no-brainer."
It was the first time purchasing off the plan, and the buyer highlighted the effort taken by the McGrath Projects team to help them understand the process.
Reputable builder Sitecorp is approaching completion of the building, with internal fitout to commence soon after.
