he most recent sales release at Thornton in North Penrith attracted a large number of keen buyers wishing to live in the new urban community in the heart of Penrith.

Held over the last weekend of March, the latest sales release included 30 house and land packages. 29 were sold in a matter of hours and a further two premium land lots overlooking the new community were also sold during the weekend.

Prices started from $454,770 for a three-bedroom Patio Home with the average home price at $524,700. The sales release also included larger four-bedroom courtyard and patio homes right up to dual occupancy homes (five-bedroom courtyard homes with separate two-bedroom loft apartments).

Downsizers, Marzi and Cathy DeSanti, previously residents of Winmalee, were devastated by the bush fires last October, and bought a single storey threebedroom garden home.

“We feel very happy to resolve our home situation and look forward to building a new home at Thornton close to transport, infrastructure and services such as the local hospital,” Mr DeSanti said.

First home-buyer Richard Ward, who commutes to Parramatta, selected Thornton because it has excellent public transport access and offers an affordable urban lifestyle in Sydney’s west.

“Having lived in the inner west, Thornton definitely has an inner city feel without the price tag.

The location and ease of access to public transport and local shops clinched the deal for me.”

As part of the UrbanGrowth NSW ‘21st Century Living’ program, Thornton showcases a diverse mix of new compact housing types with high levels of amenity.

Mike Williams, Development Director, UrbanGrowth NSW said Thornton was a compact, welldesigned urban village that has introduced housing choices and new opportunities to the Penrith property market.

“The diversity of housing at Thornton means we are able to provide a wide range of prices, products and land sizes,” Mr Williams said.

“Thornton has attracted a diverse cross section of buyers from well outside the traditional reach of most new housing projects and sales rates have exceeded expectations.”

Thornton will continue to grow in coming years.

Dukes shows their community spirit Selling houses may be the aim of the game but local real estate agents also get involved with community events in the Penrith area

KATHERINE TWEED @ktweed_

W

ith research suggesting half of all Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, the fight for a cure is becoming all the more desperate.

Dukes Estate Agents in Penrith know the affects that cancer has on a person and their families all too well and as a result, are taking part in this year’s Relay for Life.

The annual relay, one of the

Cancer Council’s largest fundraising and awareness yearly campaigns, is set to take place in Penrith on the weekend of May 3.

The local estate agents are hoping to raise part of the $350,000 goal for Penrith this year.

“There are a few of us in the office who have been affected by cancer, with some of us losing loved ones in the past,” said Dukes Estate Agents Penrith’s Rebecca Taylor.

Dukes Estate Agents’ entire office is getting involved and

will be holding a fundraiser this weekend, to raise money to be donated to the Cancer Council for research.

They will be holding a fundraising barbeque on Saturday, April 12, at the Dukes Cottage, 281 Great Western Highway, Emu Plains, from 11am.

There will be a sausage sizzle and raffle with many prizes to be won, including a Penrith Panthers jersey.

“We are trying to raise as much money as we can. We only set a target of $1500 but are hoping to

well exceed that, and it looks like we will,” Ms Taylor said.

A $1500 donation can help fund “groundbreaking” research into the causes of cancer, as well as new treatments, but as little as $25 can improve the experience of a person living with cancer.

The team at Dukes Estate Agents are inviting all who live in the local area to support them as they take part in the Relay for Life by coming along to their fundraising event in the lead-up.

For more information, contact Dukes Estate Agents on 4722 2626.

Prime CBD corner house!

PENRITH 244 Stafford Street Positioned on the corner of 2 of the region’s most popular streets this extremely well maintained brick home makes the ideal purchase for a huge range of buyers. Currently Zoned Residential 2C the property is subject to a proposed rezoning to R3. Permissible uses mean this property has undeniable potential which include: Medical/Business use; Duplex/Granny flat development, the lot size is 663sqm; Investment; family home (council approval for any of the above uses would add extra value). Properties in this prime location are in very high demand as housing needs close to the CBD are driven by buyer’s desire for low maintenance, convenient housing choices.

WERRINGTON COUNTY 41 John Batman Avenue This three bedroom house in a popular street in Werrington County is beautifully presented and has been well looked after by the current owner-occupier. For 18 enjoyable years this issue has not raised its head however we need to disclose it.

An easement to drain water is common on many properties - at this address the home was marginally built (as in by 30cm approx) over the outside line of this easement and potentially not over the actual pipe). This may be a deal breaker to some but to others, an excellent opportunity to buy affordably is now the reality. The buyer will benefit from an incredibly large flat yard with side access that may suit a granny flat addition in the future. We invite investors or any property speculators to consider this property as the owner wants it sold! Information available and outlined in contract.

Western Property Magazine

P

enrith is one of the oldest districts in the local area located at the bottom of the Blue Mountains. The suburb of Penrith is situated in the busy surrounds of an upbeat and vibrant community lifestyle.

Highly structured around family dynamics, Penrith has numerous entertainment centres such as bowling and the cinemas in the area to keep kids entertained.

The council have also introduced many new skate parks across the area targeting the youth who make up a large part of the community.

As well as entertainment facilities Penrith is home to impressive sporting clubs, ovals and fields. The schools in the district compete at an academic level under both Public and Catholic education systems.

The population is always on the increase, with infrastructure keeping up to these changes.

Living in Penrith is affordable and you will often find blocks of land

up to a quarter of an acre in size.

New estates are arising regularly ensuring that the demand for the influx of people is being met. Transport services within Penrith ensure that members of the community can travel at ease with trips to Sydney’s CBD taking less than an hour.

The main shopping precinct is Penrith Westfield located in the centre of the city. This has become a major attraction for the area as it houses hundreds of stores such as Apple, Woolworths, Target and Big W. Convenience is a major highlight of the region as what you need and want can be catered for when you need it to be, due to the continually increasing demand in the area.

Penrith is also home to the Penrith Panthers with thousands regularly rolling into Sportingbet Stadium to watch the mighty Panthers take on their opponents.

Opposite the stadium is the huge Penrith Panthers Leagues club.

Everything you need

P Michael Ball michael@mbrrealty.com.au

the agent says Next Week: David Turner from Ray White Penrith

enrith is a continually flourishing suburb that has much to offer.

Within close proximity are Penrith Lakes, Nepean River and Westfield. In many ways Penrith is becoming more of a city rather than a regular suburb of western Sydney.

Penrith has been exposed to a great deal of growth in previous years which has allowed the suburb to blossom into a highly diversified and multicultural area.

The people that populate Penrith help to create a welcoming and friendly environment within this close community.

Typically you will find young working families who are ‘living the dream’ in a suburb that everyone desires.

For families in the area, Penrith is well-known for its exquisite sporting clubs, including but not limited to Penrith Touch Football, Penrith Netball and Nepean Soccer.

There are also many schools that

are under both Public and Catholic education systems ensuring that all your needs and wants are catered for when it comes to making long term decisions about the future of your children.

Those in an older demographic do not go uncatered for. There are many social activities such as bowls and clubs as well as outstanding health services in Penrith.

Penrith Westfield is a very large shopping centre with a great variety of stores including fashion, technology and supermarkets.

The shopping centre is located directly in the heart of Penrith alongside Penrith train station that allows quick and easy access to everything you will need.

The transport system in Penrith is first class with a trip to Sydney’s CBD often only taking 45 minutes.

Penrith could now be considered the gateway to the city, as it is a direct link to Sydney’s City for those in the Blue Mountains.

I believe we have an exceptional

bus service in this area. In quick and efficient time you can travel at ease to wherever it is you need to go, whether it is a suburb nearby or Penrith station you can rely on these services.

Another great element of Penrith is the motorways and highways allowing drivers to travel with the comfort of knowing their trip is going to be simple.

Along with the functionality of Penrith being in close proximity to major services it also provides locals with great views of the Blue Mountains and Nepean River.

In Penrith I can guarantee you will find good value for money and your affordable investment will be beneficial to you in the long term.

If you are interested in purchasing a property in Penrith, whether it be a new home for your family or an investment property, please do not hesitate to make contact with the MBR team to discuss how we can get you the home you’ve always dreamed of.

Lots of choice Thinking of changing the blinds at your place? It’s not quite as simple as you think to pick the right ones

think about how much shade they require as darker colours are more effective for glare control and maximising daytime views while lighter material can be used to control light and increase daytime privacy.

“For this reason, customers may be particularly interested in a block out fabric to control the light

Tips for good lawn mowing Cut it right: Cut no more than one third of the height of the grass in a single mow

A big no-no: Never “scalp” the lawn Weather: Only mow when the lawns are dry Blades: Lower the blades slightly during cooler weather. Keep mower blades higher during hot weather

W

hile blinds may seem like a simple aspect of your home, window fashions are important not only for style but also for temperature control and safety.

Window fashions include blinds, curtains and awnings, and the suitability of each different product (and type) will vary depending on a homeowner’s needs and personal preferences.

According to the window fashions experts at Luxaflex, factors to consider when choosing products include style and the look of existing décor within the home, need for light and privacy, safety issues and the budget available.

Colour is an important element when it comes to choosing blinds or curtains and for that reason, it’s necessary to think about more than just what hue will look attractive with the paint on your walls.

Instead, homeowners should

Keeping your lawn in shape Most Australian homeowners dream of having lush, green lawns around their houses.

However, for many, the reality is that the lawn is a patchy, dusty, brown and weed-infested area of 22

of their room, or a translucent fabric which filters light and UV rays during the day,” a Luxaflex specialist said.

The orientation of your room may also affect the most appropriate blinds as well – windows that face into the sun will require blind products that provide strong heat and glare control.

Another clever option when picking blinds is to choose a product that traps in air and insulates for both the hot and cold seasons of the year.

These can help control tempera-

systems to ensure safety. Looking at specific rooms in the house, the main concerns surrounding window fashions in the bedroom are privacy and light control, while insulation is important in big, communal living areas.

In the kitchen, which is often humid and has more likelihood of splashes and water damage, homeowners should go for blinds or shutters that are designed to be durable and won’t peel or corrode easily. For more information about window fashions or Luxaflex products, call 13 58 92.

ground which is usually mowed as low as possible.

Leading Australian supplier of push and ride on mowers, Toro Australia, says one of the key solutions is simple – raise the height of the lawn mower blades.

Toro’s Senior Marketing Manager Equipment, Elise Willemsen, said cutting the grass too low is one

of the most common gardening mistakes made by homeowners.

“Grass grows from the crown, not the blade tips,” she said.

“If people cut the grasses too low, they risk damaging the crown, which damages the plant itself.

“Healthier grass plants mean thicker lawns, less competition

Change it up: Change mowing patterns frequently to avoid compaction Keep an eye on your blades: Ensure mower blades are sharp and replace as necessary Take advice: You want positive comments from friends and family but don’t be afraid to ask their advice or thoughts on the job you’re doing. You never know, they may have a point!

from weeds and less maintenance, as longer grasses actually grow slower. Longer lawns also cope with hot weather a lot better.

“So by lifting the blades, gardeners can have better lawns and spend less time mowing, fertilising and watering.”

Mulching mowers cut the clippings even finer.
