Our Unit

The picture above is taken from our new unit we purchased off the plan 2 years earlier and recently moved into. We are gradually acquiring furniture and starting to feel settled. 

The unit has exceeded our expectations and we already know all of the occupants on our top floor who are all extremely friendly.  

You might say I have an office with a view - but in reality you can see from the picture below it is just a desk, filing cabinet and printer located in a study nook. Immediately above us is the rooftop pool, spa and barbecue areas. As you can see we have views from the balcony, bedrooms and lounge room from the full length windows. 

Our unit is located in the new Yarra Bend development on what was once a very large site occupied by a paper mill. It will eventually become a new suburb with its own postcode and a range of homes, shops, restaurants, supermarkets, a retirement home, a wellness centre plus an a open air theater. The development is investing in  sustainable outcomes and solar power in excess of environmental  standards.     

There will be bicycle tracks all the way to the city and it is is a short stroll to the Yarra river and boathouse.  It is surrounded by parklands and green spaces but is only 6km to the city and our grandchildren in nearby suburbs.
