This townhouse is where architectural luxury meets 7.1-star sustainability in Curtin

The true value of a home lies not just in its aesthetic or floor plan, but also in the pedigree of the team behind its creation.

While many buyers rely on a “high degree of faith” when choosing a developer, the savvy few prioritise due diligence for one of life’s biggest purchasing decisions.

In Curtin, the exclusive Menzies townhouse development on McCulloch Street is already distinguishing itself from the crowd, offering buyers the rare confidence that comes with a project delivered by one of Canberra’s most respected builders.

Preferred Builders – the award-winning name behind many of the ACT’s most prestigious home builds – has put their signature craftsmanship into the Menzies in a team approach with the design by DNA Architects and the interiors by Viceroy Studio.

Rowan Glanville of Blackshaw Woden says many elements have come together in the Menzies.

“Location is key – Curtin is a very central and accessible, and it also borders the sought-after Inner South,” he says.

“That means it offers tremendous value for money – a similar offering to the Menzies in those neighbouring suburbs would certainly cost substantially more.”

However, the location is only the beginning of the story. The Menzies is an exclusive collection of just eight luxury townhouses, with No.7 serving as a flagship for the development’s quality. This expansive four-bedroom home offers more than 200 square metres of living space, cleverly distributed across multiple zones over two levels.

The entry makes an impressive statement (and a tantalising clue of the sophistication found within) through custom-made, bronze-look front doors.

These lead into the expansive, light-filled living area, which introduces beautifully appointed interiors. They are further showcased in the kitchen, highlighted by custom joinery and cabinetry, stone benchtops, AEG appliances and an integrated fridge. The kitchen is serviced by a generous walk-in pantry that can easily accommodate a wide range of kitchen equipment.

Glanville says prospective buyers may also detect a different feel in the home.

“It offers a high level of comfort through the adoption and inclusion of sustainable building principles,” he says. “Features including advanced double and triple glazing, insulation, acoustic control, carbon neutral recycled bricks and more – they have all contributed toward an impressive energy efficiency rating of more than seven stars.”

A standout feature of the main living level is a central atrium with a double-storey void that draws in light and brings the outdoors in.

There’s also a bedroom and a bathroom, the latter styled with La Pampa granite and offering in-floor heating.

A piece de resistance, likely welcomed by all types of buyers, is the internal lift that connects the ground floor to the upper level. Upstairs, parents will revel in the expansive, highly private main-bedroom suite with its giant walk-in wardrobe and an en suite featuring the luxury of a free-standing egg-shaped bath.

There’s also a study, a spacious rumpus, two further bedrooms and a bathroom – all surrounding the atrium void.

Outside, the entertaining space offers a landscaped courtyard with a built-in barbecue. The package is completed with an EV-ready double garage with internal access.

And it’s all just a few minutes’ stroll from the cafe lifestyle of the popular Curtin shops, with easy access to quality schools.

Glanville says the Menzies is the perfect option for downsizers or professional families.

“It’s also a rare opportunity to acquire a quality townhome backed by the provenance of one of Canberra’s most respected and awarded builders,” he says.
