From paddocks to thriving community in Casey

From paddocks to a thriving suburban community, Casey has come a long way in recent years and there are just a few opportunities left to buy a new home in this peaceful pocket of Gungahlin.

One-bedroom apartments through to large family homes have attracted a wide demographic of buyers and the suburb’s new shopping centre has placed amenities at its residents’ doorsteps.

There are only two townhouses remaining at Casey’s final residential complex, Benchmark Waters.

On the water’s edge of Springbank Rise Pond, the boutique development will comprise 10 townhouses, all with luxurious inclusions.

Parkland, playgrounds and a restaurant will be just footsteps from the complex, while Casey Market Town is two kilometres away.

All townhouses include four bedrooms and feature a cleverly designed floor plan that maximises the water vistas.

There are two stylish colour palettes to choose from: a light Scandinavian-inspired scheme and a sleek modern option in darker tones.

The ground floor features open-plan living spilling onto a patio overlooking the pond. Residents will be able to entertain in style with the kitchen at the centre of the home. Stainless steel Fisher & Paykel appliances, soft-closing drawers and granite bench tops create a clean, luxurious feel.

The four bedrooms are on the upper floor and all include built-in wardrobes. The master suite opens up to a balcony boasting elevated views across the water and it also has an en suite.

The main bathroom is also on this floor and both bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling tiles and high-quality fixtures and fittings.

Each remaining townhouse includes about 136 square metres of living space, while a double garage provides ample room for the cars, as well as plenty of space for storage.

The development is well positioned close to Horse Park Drive, Gungahlin Drive and Barton Highway, ensuring an easy commute to all corners of Canberra.

Benchmark Waters is due for completion in August.
