\u200bThis five-unit townhouse development, titled Riverview Terrace<\/strong>, masterfully blends historical Victorian charm with the practicalities of a modern “Merchants\u2019 Manor” lifestyle.

\u200bThe layout is thoughtfully zoned across three distinct levels to balance work, life, and privacy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • \u200bGround Floor (The Service Level):<\/strong> Staying true to the “Merchant” concept, the lower level is dedicated to utility and access. Each unit features a private garage entrance<\/strong> alongside a formal main entry door<\/strong>, providing a seamless transition from the street or vehicle into the home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bFirst Floor (The Social Hub):<\/strong> Ascending to the heart of the home, this level features an open-concept kitchen and great room<\/strong>. Elevated above the street for privacy, this floor is designed for grand entertaining and daily gathering, anchored by large windows and Victorian-inspired architectural flourishes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u200bSecond Floor (The Private Sanctuary):<\/strong> The top level is reserved for rest. It houses two spacious bedrooms<\/strong> and a well-appointed bathroom<\/strong>, offering a quiet retreat with a “bird’s-eye view” of the surroundings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
