Flexible living has increasingly become a desirable feature in newly built homes. The old idea of the house as a box with rigidly defined rooms for sleeping, eating and relaxing is no longer the current thinking and buyers are demanding more versatile spaces.
Changing lifestyles and new trends such as working from home require different spaces to suit different priorities.
Ballymore Properties‘ spectacular Statenický Mlýn development in the village of Statenice, northwest of Prague, has a range of spacious townhouses available for those looking for generous, flexible and modern living accomodation.
The townhouses at Statenicky Mlyn
The townhouses at Statenicky Mlyn are a relatively new concept for the Prague market, where properties are generally sold as a shell, are limited for space and do not include fitted fixtures such as kitchen appliances, wardrobes and quality wooden flooring.
Ballymore is offering an entirely different proposition, with stylishly designed three storey townhouses ranging from three to four bedrooms varying in size from 170 sq m to 200 sqm.
Statenický Mlýn is truly groundbreaking in its superb specification. All of the townhouses are fully fitted right down to the microwave oven and washing machine.
Every floor of the house has a balcony or terrace, and to the rear is a small but manageable garden - perfect for professionals who enjoy private outdoor space, but have little spare time or inclination for too much gardening. Additionally, every townhouse has an integral garage with an internal door leading to the hall.
Modern family life
The contemporary fitted kitchen opens up to a landscaped garden which is ideal for entertaining. With modern family life tending to revolve around the kitchen, Ballymore have ensured that there is ample space to comfortably accommodate a dining table and seating – creating a focal point for the home.
Other features include a light and airy lounge (situated on the first floor overlooking the garden) and the master bedrooms, which have luxurious on-suite shower-rooms and wardrobes fitted as standard.
The bedrooms on the top floor have their own generously sized private terrace areas where you can enjoy an early morning coffee or just sit and relax.The townhouses are adjacent to a landscaped village square with an extensive selection of luxurious lifestyle amenities right on the doorstep, including a number of other retail and commercial facilities such as a florist, patisserie, café, beauty spa and kindergarten.
The tree-lined village square will act as the central focus of the development, providing a communal feeling where residents can meet and relax.
The private fitness gym
The private fitness gym is located by the lake which is also home to the waterside restaurant and bar which offers residents an idyllic location to relax over a meal and a drink. With views overlooking the lake, stream and woodlands, the townhouses at Statenický Mlýn provide the perfect mix of generous countryside living with enviable city access.
Designed by award winning international architects Ian Bryan, based in Prague, the townhouse façades are finished in brilliant white and the window contours stand out with dark brown lines. The town houses pay homage to the functionalist style of architecture evolved in the era of the First Republic, but have been intelligently adapted to suit the needs of the modern 21st century lifestyle.
All the properties will incorporate fully equipped kitchens with integrated appliances including stainless steel oven, ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer and extractor hood, worktops with glass splashback and stylish wood cabinets. The master bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower-rooms and the properties will be fully fitted with lighting and wooden floors.
Generous room proportions and flexible design
Tricia Henderson, Sales Director at Ballymore comments: “Townhouses are a relatively new concept in Prague as we are offering high specifications which is very rarely seen. With three storeys, generous room proportions and flexible design, the townhouse is already making an impact, proving to be popular with locals and international businesspeople and their families“.
Statenický Mlýn is located in Statenice, in the picturesque valley of Únětický Stream, an area renowned for its natural beauty, offering residents an abundance of outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking, golf, fishing and horse riding.
The location perfectly combines the best of metropolitan and country living with the city centre of Prague just 20 minutes away. It is an ideal get-away for jetsetters with the international airport under seven km away and for more permanent residents the International School and Riverside School are just 8 km away.
Prices for the townhouses start at CZK 8,046,000
