Pace of Sunshine North Lakeside

• Spacious and well-designed homes.
• Elevated views across the city and parklands.
• In the heart of a growing employment hub.

The peaceful lakeside setting forms an amphitheatre that becomes home to a diverse selection of townhouses set into the rise of the surrounding landscape. The homes are designed by Cera Stribley architects, who take a functional approach to how future residents will live and grow in each space. This thinking underpins the connection of each design and provides extra space for entertaining and family life. Liveability is at the heart of each townhouse, with every modern convenience included, these homes are as inviting to live in as they appear.

Around the lake, open areas, shaded paths and playspaces, native trees, grasses and flora become a natural life force for a modern neighbourhood. The community here will have a different set of priorities. A relaxed balance of nature and recreational spaces becomes a calming green balance to the vibrant urban surrounds of Sunshine North. An easy 10km from the CBD, you are never far from anything while you keep the city in your sights.

A new shopping precinct has been proposed for the area which will complete the wholesome picture with an array of national retailers and specialty stores, a supermarket and lifestyle services. It’s time to step out and find out what the fuss is all about. Sunshine is one of Melbourne's major polycentric hubs, and in a few years time will become a huge hub for employment, commercial, retail opportunities and health services.

Pace of Sunshine North offers a rare, natural bush landscape that will become a leafy neighbourhood of 3 and 4 bedroom townhouses set around a central lake. The two-level homes take advantage of city skyline views from their elevated location. Pace of Sunshine North - Lakeside will be more than a new place to live; it will be a community with heart and character, less than 10km from Melbourne’s CBD.

The townhouse designs bridge the established streetscapes of Sunshine North with native bushland and a raised lakeside setting. Drawing from the colours of the Australian bush, materials are in a variety of earthy toned cladding elements, designed to complement the surrounding landscape. These tones are then paired with contemporary brick or textured feature walls referencing the traditional homes of Sunshine North. The floorplans allow flexibility as family needs change over time. The interiors are spacious and modern with a warmth that feels like home. Walls of generous glazing slide away to create an effortless flow from inside to the outdoor terrace and views. Classic white paint finishes and oak timber floors add to a high quality and comfortable design.

A private courtyard garden brings nature into the living environment and draws natural light into the heart of the home. The paved open space is for lounging in the sun or entertaining alfresco, and there’s still plenty of room left to inspire a green thumb.

The kitchen is light, open and composed to achieve a striking balance of modern features and natural textures. It provides a well resolved backdrop to the living areas with a drinks bar to increase bench space and serve as a gathering area for friends. The design goes beyond function with a waterfall stone benchtop, integrated open shelving and optional upgrade pendant lighting. Storage is optimised with some floorplans including a walk-in pantry. A selection of black Bosch appliances are fully integrated within the wood grain or white laminate finish cabinetry. A simple gooseneck tap adds an elegant accent.

The master bedroom is a spacious private domain. Several floorplans include a secluded balcony or courtyard, allowing natural light to flow into the room. The fully-fitted walk-in robe keeps the room free of clutter while the pure wool carpet, in light flax or natural charcoal, adds a cosy finishing touch.
