Ash Costello - Local Real Estate Agent Review Detail

Ashleigh was professional from beginning to end.  Her constant review of the market conditions in between our original contact and listing the property enabled us to achieve a higher price than originally thought .  She cares about her clients and that they obtain the best/fairest price possible. Thank you Ashleigh, it was a pleasure having you looking after us through this process.

Ash was wonderful to work with, very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She made the selling process run smoothly and easily and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future.

We were delighted with our experience with Sally and Ash from Home by Holly! Friendly attentive service and a great price on auction day. Thanks Sally and Ash!

Ash was an amazing agent for the sale of our property. From the start she understood the unique value proposition of our home and made us feel comfortable that she would find the right buyer in this challenging market. The marketing of the home was brilliant and Ash's communication throughout the campaign was always prompt and clear. Could not recommend her highly enough! Thanks Ash.

Ash was pleasant and professional, gave us clear options backed by experience and in-depth knowledge of the local property market. We felt really well taken care of. Thanks for making our first house sale a great experience, Ash!

Ash was very communicative and helpful. Ash kept me updated every step of the way and was very responsive throughout the whole process of selling the home. I would highly recommend.

Ash was an absolute pleasure to work with. She provided guidance and advice along the way and was always responsive to questions, both from us and interested buyers. She is calm, professional and friendly, and I would recommend her to anyone selling in Canberra. Thanks Ash!

Ash was a pleasure to engage with. She was responsive, friendly, knowledgable, effective and provided us with a positive experience. Ash called me after every open home, and each week to give me updates. Ash's advice was sound and lead us to the best outcome. I would use Ash again as our agent.

Ash was wonderful to work with. She is very professional and sold our house quickly with no fuss. She managed expectations of bothparties really well and ensured our needs were met.

Ash is an extremely personable, reliable and trustworthy agent. We felt we were in the best hands when selling our first home with Ash. She provided great advice throughout the process and we were pleased with the end result of our sale. I would recommend Ash to everyone!

Ash and the Home by Holly team were exceptional in supporting us in selling our home. They provided a wealth of advice and information before and throughout the auction process, and their recommended sales strategy resulted in exceeding our desired sale price for our home. We highly recommend Ash and the Home by Holly team.

Ash was so wonderful to deal with. Professional and knowledgeable and the whole process couldn't have been easier. I would recommend Ash and Sally and the Home By Holly team to anyone selling a house in Canberra.

Ash and Sally got us a result better than anything we could have ever expected. They were very organised and knew what they were doing, presenting us with a clear plan from the very beginning. They also set out their marketing principles and strategy, and were clearly on top of the game from the beginning.

Ash and Sally also talked us through the different pros and cons of private treaty vs auction and presented their very convincing (and ultimately justified!) reasoning for which one we should choose.

I particularly liked their great communication throughout, the timeline that they presented to us, the strategy for managing offers and the fact that they were willing to take charge/organise all the things that needed organising.

From the very beginning of a daunting process, Ash and the team at HBH were amazing to deal with. Ash is genuine, knowledgeable and went above an beyond to sell our home.  She bought an energy and warmth that made the whole process delightful. We can’t thank Ash and Sally enough for the amazing work!

Ash from home by holly made buying a house really easy in what can be a stressful time! Ash was professional and personal! She never made me feel uncomfortable and helped me every step of the way right up to and during the Auction!

By far the best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced and helpful agents. I highly recommend them to others.

Ash is excellent. Every dealing I had with her was not only professional, but enjoyable. 

She's on time, prepared, caring, has an eye for detail and a pleasure to work with. 

If you're buying or selling property, Ash is someone you want in your corner.

We recently engaged Ash to sell our beloved apartment. We had always loved the way HomeByHolly photographed real estate listings, so thought it couldn't hurt to get a quote, along with 2 other agencies, expecting them to cost more than the major corporations. 

Ash was so genuine, kind and friendly - we both immediately wanted to work with her for our sale, and when the cost package arrived we cheered - they were extremely reasonably priced (cheaper than one of the big agencies for a WAY better marketing package). So we locked it in, and our apartment sold in 6 days!

Ash is professional, lovely, and achieved a fantastic result for our sale, all while doing her absolute best for both our buyer and us as the seller. No sales-talk rubbish - just honesty and market acumen. What an agent! I'll actually miss working with her. ☺️

So glad I engaged Ash and Sally from Home.byHolly to sell my home. I appreciated their professionalism, enthusiasm and skill throughout the process. Great communication and follow-up. I was particularly impressed with how they managed the auction process - everything down to how they cared for me as the vendor and the buyers on the day. So very grateful. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.

views across Haig park 

There is something special about split-level design, the way the build is effortlessly incorporated into the angle of the land, maximising space and light and creating interesting architectural lines. No.10, expands horizontally across three levels, capturing the heart with its combo of tone and texture, glorious, raked ceilings, airy voids. 

This special three-bedder has been beautifully renovated, and artfully combines a cool mid-century modern vibe with contemporary elegance. Ideally placed just moments from a heady mix of bohemian cafes, buzzing metropolitan centres and bushland reserves, the home is a classic low maintenance haven and chic urban pad dream. 

Brick walls extend blade like, creating a seamless, textured privacy, the form rising from expansive lawns, all classic light brick, terracotta rooftiles and large timber glazing's. A long veranda creates a significant, sheltered entry point and is quite the spot for entertaining or simply relaxing among the trees.

There is a wonderful transparency to the generous living area, as walls of glass frame landscape and beckon to the private terrace. A gas fireplace provides a warming focal point and there is plenty of room for a composition of cosy couches, the large windows framing the long garden and reaching arms of a sculptural white gum. 

Upstairs there is a romantic layering of story, as vintage panelling, warm timber joinery, raked ceilings, soaring voids sit in happy combo with sleek laminated cabinetry, stone worktops. The new kitchen perfectly composed in crisp whites with warm timber notes, as seamless cabinetry meets stone worktops. There are delicate nooks for curated display and the perfect open conversation with the airy dining area that spills to a shady alfresco stage within the leafy rear courtyard.

The top level is given over to two welcoming bedrooms that capture views across Belconnen to the mountains beyond. The adjacent family bathroom is roomy and there is the convenience of a separate powder room. The bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in elegant white, matched with earthy ceramic floors that seamlessly transition to edge the bathtub. There is an additional third bedroom sequestered on the ground level and all bedrooms have built-in-robes.

Adding to the convenience is a single garage with an automatic door, providing secure parking and additional storage. Its thoughtful design aligns with the home's low-maintenance appeal, ensuring both functionality and ease of living.

Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.

layered.story

This stunning one bedroom studio apartment is visually striking, wonderfully liveable and captures dreamy treetop views across old Lyneham. A layering of rich texture and colour combines with vaulted concrete ceilings, honeyed flooring. Epic double glazing's welcome light and aspect, extending the living areas to a heavenly terrace. 

The Base 241 complex is famed for its architectural edge, quality inclusions and fabulous amenities. Designed by Cox Architecture and built by the progressive Construction Control, the building does not disappoint, with its striking layering of concrete, steel and glass. There is easy access via De Burgh Street to a secure basement parking spot with storage cage. Pedestrian entry is via the grand foyer, approached via a side avenue teeming with flowering jasmine, dappling the raw concrete floors with shadow play. 

No.102 conveniently housed on the ground floor, gifting ease of access and the surprise of both elevation and gorgeous aspect.

There is intrigue at play from the get-go, the bedroom playing peek-a-boo behind pocket sliders that can be closed or left open, enhancing the felt sense of spaciousness and light. Sea green frosted glass acts like a lantern, doubling down as an adjacent shower room, the ensuite cleverly utilising every inch of space with its walk-thru vibe and inviting translucency. The toilet is also framed in frosted glass creating a softly diffused light that works against the darker tones of the vanity and sink.

The kitchen is cleverly designed to wrap around the corner and impresses with its scheme of deep greys. Banks of storage meet stone worktops and mirrored smoky splashbacks capture the ethereal play of the surrounding landscape. There is a fabulous moving island that can sit central or be moved to the side, gifting a boon of additional space. This versatility is perfect for entertaining, the whole space merging to skyline, distant mountain glimpses. The romantic and spacious terrace garden a scene setter, teeming with star jasmine, wonderfully private, heavenly scented. 

A lift takes you to the rooftop, where a cooling swimming pool is set within beautifully curated gardens. From here you are treated to a magnificent sweeping panorama…think cityscape, twinkling lights, moody mountain ranges. One imagines wondrous sunsets, hanging with family and friends, the light fading over the hills, sharing a glass or two. Or swimming lazy laps early morning as the first light breaks. Perhaps gathering with neighbours to watch a movie, on the outdoor TV beneath the moonlight. Either way, the extraordinary rooftop amenities gift a poetic and powerful engagement with nature and landscape.

The fab locale places you front and central to the buzzing Dickson and Braddon precincts, and handy to the light rail whisking your straight to the CBD. There is a surrounding of green spaces, wetlands, shared biking and walking paths, gifting a winning lifestyle balance. The ANU, Melbourne Centre, New Acton precinct and O'Connor shops are all close to hand. The home is also close to transport including the light rail and metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
