Epic Yarralumla Home Spread Across One Level Inundated With Interest

<div class="rich-text">Bursting with charm from a bygone era, this cottage-style home is as pretty as a picture.Set on a generous corner block among rambling cottage gardens, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21-cameron-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-40323/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">21 Cameron Road in Queanbeyan</a> is a rare find.Selling agent Brad O’Mara from Ray White Queanbeyan/Jerrabomberra says he’s been smashed with enquiries since the property was listed this week.<img alt="cameron_rd_qbn3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn3.width-800.png" width="800">“Everybody’s all over me,” he explains, “the email and phone activity has been through the roof.”Mr O’Mara says the period home is larger than many of the character cottages in the area and offers great value, and loads of furniture and antiques will be included in the sale.<img alt="cameron_rd_qbn6.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn6.width-800.png" width="800">“There are very limited opportunities like this in Queanbeyan.

We’re getting a lot of enquiries from Canberra buyers as well as from interstate. I think the pent-up demand and high prices in Canberra are pushing people further out.”He says the home, located on the fringe of the CBD, offers an affordable choice in a suburb that is becoming more and more popular with inner-city workers.As well as a freshly renovated home, buyers will also pick up a hand-woven Scottish rug made in 1890 and a chair that Queen Elizabeth used during the official opening of Bonython Primary School in 1982.<img alt="cameron_rd_qbn9.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn9.width-800.png" width="800">Mr O’Mara says he is expecting a huge response when the house goes to auction on 29 April.He says the home would suit buyers who appreciate elegance and timeless attention to detail, and established gardens.A covered veranda provides the ideal welcome to this home, where multiple light-filled living spaces await, including formal dining living rooms, both warmed by feature fireplaces.<img alt="cameron_rd_qbn5.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn5.width-800.png" width="800">Daily life will revolve around the open-plan kitchen, meals and family room with gleaming timber floors, stainless steel appliances and a classic Canberra stove.<img alt="cameron_rd_qbn11.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn11.width-800.png" width="800"><img alt="cameron_rd_qbn8.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn8.width-800.png" width="800">From the family room, you can step out through the double doors to a second covered veranda and beyond to the vibrant gardens dotted with sun-soaked nooks.A shaded pergola is perfect for entertaining and growing your own food in the raised veggie gardens and mini orchard.<img alt="cameron_rd_qbn13.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/cameron_rd_qbn13.width-800.png" width="800">All four bedrooms in this home are a great size, including the master with a walk-in robe and an ensuite.

Competition in Canberra Driving Queanbeyan’s Property Market

<div class="rich-text">There is no suburb in Canberra that has as much personality as <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/braddon-act-2612/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Braddon</a> in <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/region/north-canberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Canberra’s inner-north.</a>From what was once an industrial area with sprawling car yards and dealerships, Braddon’s hipster scene has come a very long way. Now, the 2612 postcode is to Canberra what <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/newtown-nsw-2042/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Newtown</a> is to <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/sydney-nsw-2000/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sydney</a>, or <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/fitzroy-vic-3065/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fitzroy</a> is to <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/melbourne-vic-3000/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Melbourne</a> – a neighbourhood bustling with cafés, op-shops, craft breweries and bars.<img alt="Braddon-2-810x456.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="281" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon-2-810x456.width-500.jpg" width="500">Braddon is arguably Canberra’s most colourful quarter, and there is plenty of things to see and do in the area. Here is a list of what the locals love:<h4>Haig Park Village Markets</h4>On every Sunday from 8am-2pm, Haig Park Village Markets is situated at the intersection between Lonsdale Street and Girrahween Street. The farmers market is a huge hit with local families – just make sure you turn up early so you can find a carpark. If you want to support regional farmers and local businesses, then Haig Park Village Markets must be your first point of call.<img alt="0P6A7690-810x540.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="333" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/0P6A7690-810x540.width-500.jpg" width="500"><h4>Barrio Collective</h4>Barrio is the most hipster coffee joint in Braddon, and perhaps the entirety of Canberra. Right in the middle of Braddon’s main shopping precinct, you won’t miss Barrio because of the locals lining up outside in desperate need of their daily coffee fix. All blends are roasted in Canberra and the coffee is arguably the best in town. Dealing with the crowds on a weekend morning is worth it because the coffee is that good. You can also order food but there is often nowhere to sit, so ordering a takeaway and walking through Haig Park is always the next best option.<h4>Elemental Café</h4>There’s no denying it, hash browns, eggs, and bacon are meant to be on a burger bun drizzled with aioli. The Workers Burger at Elemental Cafe is the perfect hangover cure and hits all the right places. You can get the burger as part of a meal deal with a free coffee and sit outside, taking in all that Lonsdale Street has to offer. If you prefer to sit inside, then be prepared to be surrounded by Canberra Raiders paraphernalia and a chat to the friendly owners who never fail to greet you upon arrival.<h4>Grease Monkey</h4>A burger joint set up in an old mechanic’s garage, Grease Monkey pays homage to what Braddon once was. Overlooking Braddon’s famous rainbow junction, Grease Monkey’s name doesn’t disappoint – you are guaranteed a greasy burger experience chased down with a local beer. A good pit stop on the way to Assembly Pub, Grease Monkey even has a DJ play on Friday and Saturday nights.<img alt="Braddon-3-e1597043500804-810x401.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="247" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon-3-e1597043500804-810x401.width-500.jpg" width="500"><h4>Lost Vintage</h4>What started off as a DIY project has turned into a hidden fashion hotspot amongst Braddon’s hipster youth. Priding itself on using only recycles materials and second-hand furniture, Lost Vintage pays homage to slow fashion in all the right ways. While it’s not cheap, Lost Vintage takes you back to the 90s with its endless supply of denim jeans, branded and non-branded t-shirts and quirky accessories.<h4>Braddon Brew</h4>A locally owned hidden gem that specialises in coffee and beer, there is no wrong time to go to Braddon Brew. A father and son duo, the owners go out of their way to personalise custom roasted coffee or offer a range of quirky craft classics that will have you wanting more. To make your Braddon experience even more special, childhood mementos such as Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Jenga and Uno are available to play with your mates. What more could you want from a night out in Braddon?<h4>Frugii Dessert Laboratory</h4>Frugii or Messina – the two ice creameries, both alike in dignity, in fair Braddon, where we lay our scene. If you are truly a Braddon local then you would prefer Frugii over Messina. Why may you ask? Because Frugii is a family owned business with flavours as eclectic and as vibrant as Braddon itself. Tucked away in the Ori building, the icecream and gelato on offer will always surprise you: Black Truffle, Vegemite on Sourdough, and even Roasted Cauliflower with Rose Harissa. You can also treat yourself to homemade cakes and chocolates.<img alt="Braddon-8-810x456.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="281" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon-8-810x456.width-500.jpg" width="500"><h4>BentSpoke Brewing Co</h4>Yes, don’t worry, I wasn’t going to forget Bentspoke Brewing Co. It wouldn’t be much of a local guide to Braddon if I didn’t mention the brewery that is a living testament to the local culture – unpretentious and full of variety. Housing over 18 different types of beer and cider, the award-winning brewery guarantees a good quality beverage smack bang in the heart of Braddon. Just some of the brews you might find on tap include the Barley Griffin, the Braddon Bitter, and the Skywhale Ale.

<div class="rich-text">Located in the heart of Ainslie in Canberra’s inner-north, this three-bedroom property at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/54-limestone-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-39206/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">54 Limestone Avenue</a> is on the market for the first time in 70 years.Designed and advertised in 1926 by the Federal Capital Commission to entice public servants to move to the bush capital, it’s safe to say this historic homestead has seen a lot over the years.<img alt="The exterior.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="534" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-04-13_at_12.53.09_pm.width-800.png" width="800">The property has been home to many renowned Canberran locals, including a former headmaster of Ainslie Primary School, an architect and a local teacher.Popular Ainslie locals, the Leonard family, bought the home in 1950 from Malcolm Moir, a predominant modernist architect who designed many of Canberra’s early buildings.The property has been tightly held by the Leonard family ever since. Now, the cottage is ready to make history with new owners, with help from Luton Property Dickson’s Melissa Martin-Smith and Simon Porter.“There is a lot of emotional connection to this home,” said selling agent Melissa Martin-Smith.“It’s been a home to a lot of happy memories.”<img alt="The interior.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-04-13_at_12.55.23_pm.width-800.png" width="800">Selling agent Simon Porter said it is rare for see historic houses like <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/54-limestone-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-39206/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">54 Limestone Avenue</a> on the market.From its exterior, you can tell the property is a time warp to the mid 1920s. The original 1926 front door is striking and well placed amongst the manicured gardens.Inside, the property features high ceilings, large windows and exposed beams that give off a sense of space. There are three bedrooms, two-bathrooms, an ensuite, kitchen, living room, study, and a formal lounge room which opens out to the sprawling gardens and a lock-up garage.<img alt="The original door.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="523" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-04-13_at_12.55.52_pm.width-800.png" width="800">“Because the block is so large, everywhere you look is so green,” said Ms Martin-Smith.The property was renovated in the mid-1970s to include an updated kitchen, additional bedroom and a small flat with an ensuite.Located in Ainslie’s Alt Crescent Heritage Precinct, Mr Porter said interested buyers do not have the option of demolishing the property and turning it into a mansion.<img alt="The manicured gardens.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-04-13_at_12.56.40_pm.width-800.png" width="800">Perhaps that is a good thing. Homes that encapsulate the rich history of Canberra are diamonds in the rough these days.According to Zango data, the median sale price for a property in Ainslie is $900,000.With an original price tag of £1,250 in 1926, today the historic property has an auction price guide of $1.3 million. The cottage will head under the hammer on Wednesday 14 April at 5pm.You can view this beautiful historic home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/54-limestone-avenue-ainslie-act-2602-39206/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">54 Limestone Avenue</a> in Ainslie online.

<div class="rich-text">As Zango celebrated our first birthday this year, we were reminded of how important it is to take time out and honour a milestone – no matter how big or small.Many real estate professionals in the Canberra region will celebrate their own achievements this year; be it sales targets, record breakers, or time spent in their career. And we want to celebrate with them!<a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/robert-potts/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Robert Potts</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/independent-gungahlin/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Independent in Gungahlin</a> is this year celebrating an impressive 37 year career in real estate and at Independent Property Group.Zango chatted with Robert about his experiences over the years, and what it was like to be the first agent in Canberra to sell 100 homes in the 1980s.Robert, how did you get started in real estate?I grew up on a farm in Murrumburrah (near Harden) and when I moved to Canberra I decided to join Independent.It was 1984 and my brother was working for what was then Wellsmoore, so I was inspired to join Reg Daly Real Estate. The companies were connected, and later came together under the same banner which is now Independent Property Group.I worked for Independent for 8 years before my Dad got sick and I went back to the farm to care for him. I spent a few years on the farm after that, and did several jobs including travelling around as a sheerer.When I decided to move back to Canberra, I sold the farm and re-joined Independent – and that was 20 years ago now. So all up, I’ve been in real estate with Independent for 37 years.Are you thinking of retiring soon?Not today! I just sold a home yesterday and have a number of new listings that will go up this week.I do consider myself semi-retired though. I now only do established homes and will take all referrals that come my way.My son, <a href="https://independent.com.au/andrew-potts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Andrew Potts</a>, also works with me and has been at Independent in Gungahlin for 15 years which has been great.What has been your favourite part of working in real estate?I have made some amazing friends over the years and am now selling homes for the grandchildren of the people I sold for in the early days.I’ve also enjoyed watching the local market evolve over the years. We’ve more than doubled in population since the 1980s and a 3 bedroom ensuite home was around $59,000 back then – now it is $700,000.Throughout my career I saw all the new suburbs in Tuggeranong and Belconnen as they were established – with house and land packages in suburbs such as Theodore, Calwell, Oxley and Florey.More recently it has been the Gungahlin suburbs, so it’s been exciting to watch that unfold from Independent in Gungahlin.What are some of your career highlights?I have so many stories to tell from over the years. I think my proudest moment was being the first agent in Canberra to crack 100 sales, which I achieved in 1987.Another proud moment was cracking 200 sales in a year in both 2012 and 2013.I also enjoyed traveling around the world with Independent. I won Salesperson of the Year every year, so I was able to go with the team to countries like Hawaii, Bali, North America, and many more.Independent has always felt like a family oriented business, and trips like these build team relationships which matters a lot because work is such a big part of people’s lives.</div>

The polished hardwood floors, high ceilings, bay window in the family room, and sash windows are true to the era, as are the brass light switches, ornate plaster ceiling rosettes, solid interior doors, and fireplaces.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_009.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_009.width-800.jpg" width="800">The kitchen is a masterpiece of style, with an enormous original fireplace now housing a combustion stove, room for a dining table, railway tiles, sash windows, a 900 mm British-made Belling range cooker with multiple ovens, and a double porcelain sink.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_013.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="534" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_013.width-800.jpg" width="800">The home has a delightful alfresco dining area under a pergola with a shade sail canopy, providing a cool outdoor dining option. The exterior of the home at the back conjures visions of the schoolmaster’s horse and buggy pulling up to deposit passengers at the door, but is now an area for parking cars.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_006.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_006.width-800.jpg" width="800"><img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_022.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_022.width-800.jpg" width="800">Adjacent to the kitchen is a family bathroom with a magnificent claw-foot Victorian roll-top bath, a frameless shower, instant gas hot water, and a toilet. The bathroom is graced with a magnificent chandelier, an appropriate touch of class in a beautiful room.Upstairs, the home has three further bedrooms, and another bathroom, with a master suite with a walk-in robe.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_019.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_019.width-800.jpg" width="800">Angled rooflines and an overhead fan make the master bedroom a delightful retreat, while the second bedroom has a fireplace, as does the thoroughly modern bathroom, with instant gas hot water.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_016.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_016.width-800.jpg" width="800">Belle Property Braidwood principal Kelly Allen said the home is a landmark property in Braidwood, a historical and valued building, and a delightfully modern family home.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_003.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_003.width-800.jpg" width="800">“This property has everything a family will need, including a huge vegetable patch in the garden, two paved entertainment areas, one with a pergola, and one nestled under a large shade tree,” she said.<img alt="47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_005.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47_Wilson_Street_Braidwood_005.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The original well is still in place and makes an interesting garden feature plus an excellent permanent water supply, two off-street carports and a large barn storage shed, three rainwater tanks, landline phone, good internet and mobile reception.”Belle Property Braidwood is now accepting expressions of interest in the home, and inspection is by private appointment only.You can view this Victorian masterpiece <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/47-wilson-street-braidwood-nsw-2622-39195/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">47 Wilson Street</a> in Braidwood, and see all the latest hot listings on <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zango</a>.
