“The attention to detail when it comes to the renovations is amazing. You can tell it was done by a professional with a passion,” he says.“The house was built in the early 70s, but the renovations have been ongoing for nearly 20 years, and now it’s a beautifully designed modern house.“Since it’s undergone so many renovations, there are no issues with it and nothing to fix or add. It’s got everything you could want.”<img alt="18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157-image-0-20240725004657150443-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157-im.width-800.jpg" width="800">The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house welcomes you from the second you arrive, with plenty of well-landscaped flora surrounding the entryway.As you make your way through the door, a large living room awaits, with a combustion wood fireplace and spectacular hardwood timber floors. It’s the ideal area for entertaining guests, unwinding after a long day or gathering as a family.A mere sliding door away is the perfect spot for a home office.An open-plan kitchen featuring an electric cooktop and oven, a Bosch dishwasher, as well as heaps of benchtop preparation areas and a booth-like breakfast bar will make every meal feel like a restaurant experience.<img alt="18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157-image-0-20240725004703348880-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157-im.width-800_e71YGXp.jpg" width="800">Outdoor entertaining is made easy with an enormous backyard complete with an in-ground pool and a beautifully maintained garden, a feature Scott says is one to brag about.“The pool was the last thing to be added, and in 2023, it took out an in-ground pool of the year award,” Scott says.“It’s even got its own robot vacuum cleaner that the owners reckon is a game changer.”You’re guaranteed to be spending a lot of time outside, thanks to the fully functioning alfresco-style kitchen and undercover entertainment area. It’s topped off with a ceiling fan and panel heaters to ensure comfort year-round, no matter the weather.<img alt="18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157-image-0-20240725004653957159-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157-im.width-800_hnboowI.jpg" width="800">All bedrooms include a walk-in robe, with large windows to ensure natural light throughout the day.The master bedroom is nothing short of an oasis, complete with a beautifully designed ensuite with marble-style detailing and plenty of storage, as well as a roomy walk-in wardrobe and a generous window. It’s the perfect place to retreat and escape the world.Scott says that while the modern architecture and the general feel of the home are fantastic, the appeal behind the house comes from its prime location.“It’s walking distance from some of the best schools in the city,” he says.“Weetangera and Aranda primary schools are just around the corner and Radford isn’t too much further away. It’s crazy how close it is to so many great schools!”18 Morton Street, Weetangera goes to Auction Saturday 24 August at 10:00am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18-morton-street-weetangera-act-2614-105157/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/an-award-winning-pool-and-modern-architecture-combines-in-weetangera/791326" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

In less time than it takes to drink a coffee, you could register your intent to save a life.It&#x27;s DonateLife Week from 28 July to 4 August and we&#x27;re adding a touch of pink to our our Zango coffee vans for the next two weekend&#x27;s to help raise awareness of organ and tissue donation.It&#x27;s ironic to think that as you&#x27;re looking for a new home, your heart could have a new home one day too. It&#x27;s a hard topic to talk about but one that really does hit home.The reality is, of the 2,200 Canberrans who die in the ACT this year, only 44 will die in conditions that allow for organ donation.And of those 44, only half of those will go on to donate, often because the families of the dying don’t know their loved one’s donation wishes.<img alt="IMG_4387" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_4387.width-800.jpg" width="800">“So imagine you are in intensive care and your family&#x27;s grieving, and it’s a terribly traumatic time,” says DonateLife ACT State Medical Director Sean Chen.“And they are being asked a lot of questions, which is the last thing that they want to have to deal with and they just want the suffering to end.“And then we hit them with a question about organ donation and it&#x27;s hard. But what’s easy for them is that you&#x27;ve made your wishes clear.“I actually see people almost relieved that they know the answer to the donation question. And you&#x27;ve provided that answer for them.”<img alt="DonateLife social media tile - Karen, donor family" class="richtext-image full-width" height="800" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/DonateLife_social_media_tile_-_Karen_donor_fam.width-800.jpg" width="800">Dr Chen, an intensive care specialist, acknowledges that people find it difficult to talk about death.“A lot of people, especially city folk, who have a high level of education, rarely see death and so don’t identify with it,” he says.“We&#x27;re so far removed from death that sometimes people feel they can bargain their way out of it. The truth is that everyone who has ever lived has, and will, die. No-one lives forever.“And so this disconnect between understanding that death happens – and accepting that it happens – holds us back from realising that someone can be at the end of their life, even if they were perfectly well the day before.”Dr Chen’s work involves having some of the toughest conversations imaginable, including conversations about death. But among the darkness can come hope for some families: in the form of a conversation about organ and tissue donation.<img alt="DonateLife social media tile - Savi, transplant recipient_0" class="richtext-image full-width" height="800" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/DonateLife_social_media_tile_-_Savi_transplant.width-800.jpg" width="800">Anyone in Australia aged 16 and over can register to donate. One organ donor can save the lives of up to seven people, and change the lives of many more through eye and tissue donation. Donor families can ask to be updated on the health condition of recipients – with all recipients remaining anonymous – but the law does not provide for donor families and recipients to meet.“What you’re giving someone is the greatest gift there is,” Dr Chen says.“Imagine being a young person who&#x27;s been quite unwell and suffering, and then having a second lease on life.“Suddenly, they have their whole lives in front of them again. It’s remarkable.”Becoming an organ and tissue donor takes less than a minute at <a href="https://www.donatelife.gov.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.donatelife.gov.au</a>

Originally run as a dairy, it now boasts a setup designed for complete self-sufficiency.Sales executive at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/marshall-and-tacheci-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marshall and Tacheci Real Estate</a>, <a href="/agents/sandra-benny/">Sandra Benny</a>, grew up in the area and still holds it close to her heart. She describes Spring Hills as a true oasis that is secluded but not isolated, within easy reach of Central Tilba, Bermagui, Narooma and local beaches.“Properties like Spring Hills don’t come on the market often, especially in Tilba,” she says.“You could turn it into anything you wanted: a working or hobby farm, ecological retreat, farm stay, or your private sanctuary tucked away from the rest of the world.“One of my favourite things about Spring Hills would have to be the view its elevation offers. As you drive up to the main farmhouse, you’re instantly captivated by a panoramic outlook over rolling hilltops, Bermagui and Wallaga Lake townships, and out to the horizon.”The current owners have enjoyed how private the property is. They spend much of their time exploring the native forest and relaxing by Couria Creek, which runs through the block for almost 2 kilometres.<img alt="9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-104386-image-0-20240711021821548764-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-1043.width-800_WZjJs5v.jpg" width="800">Spring Hills’ main farmhouse dates back to the late 1800s. Great care has been taken to modernise the home without taking away from historic features, which include original fireplaces and antique chandeliers that offer gentle mood lighting.Residents have multiple living spaces to choose from. Relax by the fire in the formal library, kick back in the family room, or head through to the open plan living, dining and kitchen area to soak up some sun.Each of the three bedrooms is spacious with plenty of light and, of course, incredible views. The master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and French doors leading to the wrap-around verandah.The country-style bathroom has dual access, offering an elegant freestanding tub in addition to a modern shower.<img alt="9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-104386-image-0-20240711021833210330-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-1043.width-800_1dC6qpr.jpg" width="800">A short walk from Spring Hills farmhouse, separately titled, is the charming ‘Honeywood’ cottage.Built in 1952 and also featuring original fireplaces and brickwork, this three-bedroom weatherboard home has a self-contained guesthouse right next door. Sandra says it has proven potential as an Airbnb or farm stay for extra income, but it would also be the perfect spot for extended family to stay.Both Spring Hills and Honeywood are NBN connected, with solar hot water, electric cooktops, and reverse-cycle air conditioning for comfort year-round.Alongside living residences, Spring Hills is also dotted with functional outbuildings. The original dairy has been renovated into an extra office/studio space with its own kitchenette and toilet, and a factory-style shed, once used for processing, is equipped with three cool rooms ready to go.More than 100 varieties of berries, herbs, and fruit and nut trees are already established, including fig, avocado, mango, apple, macadamia and chestnut.The property is gravity-fed from a header tank connected to council water supply and supplemented by permanent, mountain-caught water from Couria Creek.Grazing pastures can host up to 40 cows and calves, with boundary fencing, extra paddocks and stock yards already established.<img alt="9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-104386-image-0-20240711021818906301-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-1043.width-800_rZNvFsY.jpg" width="800">Sandra believes Spring Hills would best suit a large, nature-loving family looking to invest in a sustainable, quiet lifestyle.“I cannot stress enough how tightly Tilba Tilba farmland is held or how exceptional this opportunity is,” she says.“Whoever takes on this beautiful property will become the new caretaker of a generational masterpiece filled with potential in a region known for its diverse natural landscape, friendly communities and peaceful living.”9052 Princes Highway, Tilba is for sale in the vicinity of $4,000,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/9052-princes-highway-tilba-tilba-nsw-2546-104386/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/secure-a-tranquil-life-among-rolling-pastures-at-spring-hills-in-tilba/788898" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Harden’s across-the-creek-twin, Murrumburrah, is also full of old-world charm and history, hosting, among its attractions, the famous statue of Australian war horse ‘Bill the Bastard’.<img alt="51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-image-0-20240704084658347804-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-imag.width-800_Bb8CwtC.jpg" width="800">Sales agent at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/flemings-property-services/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flemings Property Services</a>, <a href="/agents/rosie-fairfield-smith/">Rosie Fairfield-Smith</a>, has called Harden home for most of her life.“Number 51 is a real character home,” she says.“I love the coloured glass on the front door and the worn paver paths that lead you to it. You’re greeted with old-style country charm and loads of original features as soon as you step inside, including weatherboard walls, high ceilings and timber floors.”The front half of this property, built in 1912, dates back to Harden’s station days, with three generous bedrooms with hardwood floors and one of two living rooms, as well as the home’s original timber-framed fireplace.<img alt="51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-image-0-20240704084653376718-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017-imag.width-800_CLx0thD.jpg" width="800">Visitors then head through into the extension, lovingly built by the current owners, to enjoy a light and airy, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.“There’s another fireplace here, which works together with ceiling fans and a split system air conditioner to keep the heart of the home comfortable throughout the year,” Rosie says.“The current owners worked hard to add a touch of modernity to the home while preserving its historic charm.

There are a few spots that would be just right for a kitchen garden, chicken coop or water feature, and there’s also a garden shed and garage for workshopping or extra storage.”Number 51 is perfectly suited to a growing family, retiree couple or relocator looking for a gentle country lifestyle in a town where everyone is closely connected.51 Bathurst Street, Harden is for sale from $545,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/51-bathurst-street-harden-nsw-2587-104017/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/gorgeous-1912-cottage-ready-to-welcome-new-owners-into-peaceful-heart-of-harden/786919" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

And he can’t live without his toy pig, “which makes the most annoying squeaky noise in the world,” Sienna says.<h3 data-block-key="dtkse">Charlie Evans and Winston</h3><img alt="Screen Shot 2024-07-09 at 1.04.39 pm" class="richtext-image full-width" height="640" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2024-07-09_at_1.04.39_pm.width-800.png" width="480">Two-year-old Winston is a miniature dachshund who isn’t fussy about which toy you give him — he’ll literally make any toy his own.For Head of Property Management Charlie, owning Winston is like having a personal vacuum. Winston will (and does) eat anything you put in front of him (or he happens to find in random places around the house).“My favourite thing is how loving and loyal he is,” Charlie says.<h3 data-block-key="1ulcl">Jacquelyn Betts and Ollie Bollington</h3><img alt="20240707_120504" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/20240707_120504.width-800.jpg" width="800">How good is a cat with a name straight out of Bridgerton? Ollie belongs to VERV’s Office Manager Jacquelyn, and yawns and makes a cute little chirp noise when he wakes up from a nap.Ollie’s a six-year-old Tuxedo (domestic longhair) cat who’s “chatty around dinner time” and can’t live without his very unassuming favourite ‘toy’. “It’s literally a piece of craft rope tied around an old pom pom ball,” Jacquelyn says.<img alt="20240706_195610" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/20240706_195610.width-800.jpg" width="800">Jacquelyn also has a permanent reminder of Ollie on her body.“When he was a kitten, he went to the vet for a check-up and they needed to take his temperature … he did not like this. And as I was holding his scruff to keep him still, he managed to twist around and bite my wrist.“He was fine afterwards, but I ended up in hospital for a few days. I now have four cute little scars on my left wrist to remember him by. Cat bites can be serious apparently.“I still love him even though he is slightly evil.

Also, a surefire way to get her attention if she’s being stubborn is to rustle a bag of shredded cheese from the fridge, she stands to attention so fast.&quot;<img alt="Freyja at work" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1316" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Freyja_at_work.width-800.jpg" width="800">If you visit Natalie on a week night or weekend, be prepared for a game of show-and-tell.&quot;She loves all her toys, whenever I come home to the house or a friend visits, she has to pick up her closest baby and present it to the person walking in the door,&quot; Natalie says.&quot;But she runs away if you try to take it from her! Evidently, it is not a gift, merely show-and-tell.&quot;

Let that sink in.<h3 data-block-key="1l1ql">A carwash named Guns-n-Hoses.</h3><img alt="guns n hoses" class="richtext-image full-width" height="168" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/guns_n_hoses.width-800.jpg" width="300">Genius. Who wouldn’t want to wash their lowered canary yellow VL Commodore there?<h3 data-block-key="bp1ea">An actual stake in the State of Origin.</h3><img alt="state of origin" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/state_of_origin.width-800.jpg" width="800">Imagine sitting down to watch the greatest game on earth and actually caring who won. Imagine wearing your NSW Blues jersey all week ahead of the big game, and cooking a BBQ out the back in the bitter cold for all your Blues-supporting mates who’d shown up for The Decider. We bleed Blue over here in Queanbeyan (and Canberra Raiders green too, admittedly) and it ramps the rivalry up five notches.<h3 data-block-key="7808h">A main street.</h3><img alt="monaro street" class="richtext-image full-width" height="512" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/monaro_street.width-800.jpg" width="800">Yes, you have a nominal main street in Canberra, but you can’t walk from shop to shop, cafe to cafe and run into 18,000 people you know in the space of 20 minutes, can you?Monaro Street, Queanbeyan, is a beautiful strip of heritage retail buildings dating back to the late 1800s, a few more modern spaces, and several pubs and cafes. It takes about seven minutes to walk end-to-end, and it’s country NSW at its finest.<h3 data-block-key="cleuc">More than one decent pub.</h3><img alt="hotel queanbeyan" class="richtext-image full-width" height="506" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/hotel_queanbeyan.width-800.png" width="756">Within a single kilometre we have the Hotel Queanbeyan, Walsh’s Hotel, Royal Hotel and the Tourist Hotel. They’ve all had glamorous makeovers and offer a ripper pub feed. Talk about spoilt.<h3 data-block-key="eeaqd">One postcode.</h3>2620 for life.<h3 data-block-key="8ni1k">A mayor and an unofficial mayor.</h3><img alt="PHOTO-2024-07-09-15-46-03" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/PHOTO-2024-07-09-15-46-03.width-800.jpg" width="800">In Queanbeyan, the mayor is a young dad-of-three named Kenrick Winchester. He’s been in the role for almost three years now, attended local primary and high schools and loves the region so much he used to be the head of the Canberra Raiders Army (disclaimer: he’s my younger brother).But every NSW country town has an ‘unofficial mayor’, generally a bloke who can drink everyone under the table and who’s on a first name basis with just about everyone and their 10 kids. In Queanbeyan, that man is Rocky Burnell, a former rugby league star who, now retired, sits on several local fundraising committees and never turns down a party invite.<h3 data-block-key="4o0i1">Freehold property.</h3>There’s no paying to borrow land from the government in New South Wales. When you buy land over here in God’s country, you actually own it. Which makes it easier to pass on to the generations after you, and means less administrative overhead.<h3 data-block-key="6ha66">Green P plates.</h3><img alt="r0_0_4032_3024_w1200_h678_fmax" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/r0_0_4032_3024_w1200_h678_fmax.width-800.jpg" width="800">While we’ve simplified the postcode situation, we’ve gone and made the provisional licence situation way more complex than it needs to be. After passing your driving test in Queanbeyan, you’re on your red Ps for a year, and then your green Ps for the following two years. In a nutshell, you can drive at a maximum of 100km/h on your green Ps and you have seven demerit points (as opposed to 90km/h and four demerit points on your red Ps).<h3 data-block-key="9nael">Homes older than Canberra itself.</h3><img alt="hibernia lodge" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/hibernia_lodge.width-800.jpg" width="800">The rich history of Queanbeyan is woven throughout the entire city, and is a beautiful reminder of where we’ve been.

Complete with custom cedar timber cladding, it gives the home a warm and welcoming feel from the second you walk through the door.Adjacent to the open-plan living area is an exceptionally large kitchen complete with a huge butler’s pantry, top-of-the-line appliances and a spacious island bench, making cooking and entertaining at the same time a breeze.Located directly next to the sun-soaked dining room is a large alfresco area that overlooks a beautifully maintained garden complete with plenty of grass and plants surrounded by a fence offering a sense of privacy and safety.“The fact that there are doors that open straight out to the outdoor entertainment area makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor entertainment,” Jason says.<img alt="4-josie-agius-street-whitlam-act-2611-103858-image-0-20240703011722444843-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/4-josie-agius-street-whitlam-act-2611-103858-i.width-800_pi5D3EY.jpg" width="800">Each room in the house has large double-glazed windows, filling the home with natural light and offering panoramic views of the gardens and surrounding mountain ranges.The master bedroom includes comfy carpet, roller blinds for extra privacy, an ensuite and a generous walk-in robe offering the perfect sanctuary to unwind.Jason says another feature of the house is its versatility.“It’s got three great bedrooms, but there is also a generous rumpus room which could easily be turned into a fourth, a home gym, office or study.“The possibilities are endless.”Both bathrooms are decked out with designer floor-to-ceiling tiles and sleek modern features, including a rain shower and plenty of storage.<img alt="4-josie-agius-street-whitlam-act-2611-103858-image-0-20240703011720236801-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/4-josie-agius-street-whitlam-act-2611-103858-i.width-800_P2sa3qc.jpg" width="800">The double garage also includes a cedar-clad tilt door, internal access, plenty of storage and a dedicated 32-amp circuit with a 15-amp power point for electric vehicle charging.In terms of location, it doesn’t get much more central than Whitlam.Denman Prospect is a mere 10-minute drive to the CBD and has plenty to offer.“It’s a real up-and-coming suburb. It’s already close to some great facilities, but the most exciting thing about living in a newer suburb is watching it grow.”4 Josie Agius Street, Whitlam is for sale from $1,550,000+.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/4-josie-agius-street-whitlam-act-2611-103858/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/enjoy-stunning-unique-architecture-in-one-of-canberras-newest-suburbs/784778" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>
