Traditional hotel-size family homes are now out of sync with today's search for a simplified and secure lifestyle.
The alternative is a smaller home, on a smaller site, within gated estates; a Jewel Box home.
While Jewel Box homes may be smaller in size, they are up-scaled in both design and quality to create a property that is comfortable to live in, easy to manage, and affordable to maintain.
The term JEWEL BOX HOME is not new. It was coined as far back as the 1890s by the famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright and his mentor, Louis H. Sullivan, to describe smaller homes built on smaller footprints. Built smaller but always built smarter.
Today each new home is tailored specifically to suit the owners’ modern multi-faceted lifestyle.
High on wish lists are homes with flowing open-plan designs, central living areas, beautiful kitchens, and elegant indoor/outdoor entertainment verandahs, preferably with views.
Two or three spacious, sunny bedrooms are needed. A fourth bedroom, or a study, is a welcome bonus.
En-suite bathrooms with generous walk-in rain showers, premium quality wall-hung toilets with concealed plumbing, double vanities, and deep, luxurious baths.
High-end kitchens fitted with premium quality cabinetry, exquisitely polished countertops, gas hobs/electric ovens, and easy access to dishwashers, washing machines, and tumble dryers.
Generously sized automated double garages, always with some extra space to store the precious items we’ve accumulated but aren’t quite ready to part with.
Small private gardens are designed to make gardening a pleasurable past-time rather than a painful chore.
Mature buyers are seeking discreet "Age in Place" features such as level access and wider doorways allowing them to remain in their new homes for longer and younger buyers are seeking smaller homes affording them the freedom to enjoy their many outdoor lifestyle activities.
At St John’s Village, the Estate is designed to offer an active and attractive lifestyle where residents can find renewed pleasure living among caring neighbours within an active and vibrant community.
Come and see for yourself!
