There is never any Christmas shopping Saturday without curtain hunting as well – particularly if you are my adorable friend Emma. Recently moved into Parktown Residence, this infectious air is lovely. It isn’t just a pile of bricks and mortar. It is a living community with a character all its own.
The design is a combination of classic grace and modern chic. Think of a room in which grand chandeliers live happily together with sleek, unadorned lines accented by industrial touches. It is a place that cries out to be photographed at every turn.
“Actually, I could make this walkway my home,” Emma joked, and I found myself agreeing. Parktown excels in creating agreeable public spaces, quite unmatched by everyone else. Or do you prefer tranquil courtyards for a little breathing space, or rooftop gardens with a view that sweeps over everything? They have it all here. It’s much like finding that one last piece of the jigsaw puzzle which absolutely fit everyone’s taste.
Are you looking for something more than a pedestrian gym? The state-of-the-art facilities in this fitness center could entice even the most lazy person into some exercise. If peace and quiet is more your cup of tea, go to the library which has classics of literature to the latest thriller, all waiting eagerly for your perusal.
And the surrounding district? Imagine a place where the fragrance of fresh-brewed coffee mingles with that of bread rising in the oven, and there are hidden speakeasies. This is Parktown. People talk about a bakery that makes such excellent cinnamon rolls they really should be extraterrestrial pastries.
So what when night comes and you want a bit of entertainment? The screening room has tons of popcorn just waiting for you. Who can resist while watching the classic ending of Casablanca with a friend that is new to it all, and enjoying those buttery treats?
In fact, Parktown Residence is more than just a complex. It is the laughter exchanged at rooftop parties face paints around cheering growing flowers. It is snuggling up with a great book under cherry blossoms (just because). Parktown is a living story, with each resident adding his own individual and fascinating chapter.
