Loan case study in Lilydale, VIC
Funding to assist with the construction of six townhouses.
Project overview
The project entailed the construction of six townhouses in the residential suburb of Lilydale, Victoria.
Thirty-four kilometres northeast of Melbourne CBD, Lilydale is situated in the gateway of Yarra Valley and loved by locals for its relaxed feel. The development is a ten-minute walk to Lilydale train station and surrounded by local supermarkets and schools.
Each townhouse provides residents with a clever combination of space, light and style. The architect-designed plan includes gloss cabinetry, stone benches and stainless-steel appliances enclosed within a combination of brick, timber and rendered external finishes. Set over two levels, the large upstairs living area adjoins a private balcony. This allows for two ensuite bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and filtered tree top and Dandenong views.
