“What’s remarkable about this home is that while it was built so long ago, thanks to the renovations completed in 2021, it really is a brand new house with a century of history behind it,” Peter says.“The house was built a long time ago and the best thing is that there are some features that have been maintained since then, including the stained-glass windows and the original fireplace.”<img alt="24-palmer-street-hall-act-2618-103100-image-0-20240619081654247276-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/24-palmer-street-hall-act-2618-103100-image-0-.width-800.jpg" width="800">Affectionally known as ‘The Lavender Cottage’, the 2000 sqm property also includes a studio directly adjacent to the main house, creating the ideal guest house or space for an older teenager looking to experience independence.The studio includes a kitchen equipped with an electric oven, a European laundry and a generous bedroom complete with a walk-in wardrobe.

Large windows overlook the low-maintenance backyard, and there’s a huge walk-in robe and stunning ensuite.A beautiful backyard awaits you around the back, complete with an undercover deck and patio area around the corner.In terms of location, Peter says that Hall offers the best of both worlds.“It’s basically one road in and out that doesn’t see a lot of traffic, so you can easily get to Gungahlin town centre in under 15 minutes and the city in around 20.”24 Palmer Street, Hall goes to auction Saturday 13 July at 10am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/24-palmer-street-hall-act-2618-103100/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/renovated-hall-cottage-retains-every-ounce-of-its-century-old-charm/781629" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

We have an 8yo and 5yo and a 3yo Beagle.

Like every building they’ve done, they haven’t had issues, which is a very positive thing.“They’ve built with nice inclusions and great layout of apartments. They’ve got a good reputation.

That is fairly unusual but will be ideal for a three-car family or someone who needs an additional space.”Also down below is a bustling hub of cafes, restaurants and shops, making it easy to indulge in the vibrant atmosphere of city life.“The Gungahlin marketplace is ever expanding, but it already has all the shopping that you need,” said Chris. “There are boutique shops, as well as Woolies, Coles and Aldi.“On the second floor, you’ll find the complex swimming pool and a well-equipped gymnasium, and right up top is the rooftop garden with picnic tables, barbecues and a pizza oven.“Hand on heart, I think this is the best building in Gungahlin for the amenities, the inclusions and the layout.”<img alt="1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853-image-0-20240423031716836415-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853.width-800_LLIotKa.jpg" width="800">Other notable features include an oversized ensuite complete with a double shower, bath and window to the main bedroom and a sleek main bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a double shower. There’s a separate laundry with extra cupboard space, a combined washer and dryer, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and electric blinds on the living room windows.“I love the balcony space here,” said Kris.“It’s a decent size and has plenty of space to relax for a morning coffee or afternoon-evening drink. The balcony is also beautiful in winter as it gets some westerly sun which will also help with warming up the inside naturally.”Kris said the apartment was on the market with a price guide of $950,000 to $1.1 million and was expected to go to auction on May 18 unless sold by private negotiation before that.1303/2 Gribble Street, Gungahlin goes to auction Saturday 18 May at 10:30am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/penthouse-apartment-takes-city-living-to-a-new-height/764017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Inspections so far have shown that the family area and the way it connects to the outdoors are an instant attraction!”<img alt="7 Pownall Street, Franklin 31" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-pownall-street-franklin-act-2913-94318-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and parking for four cars, this property also offers a low maintenance and landscaped garden and privacy and space for growing children.For the tech-savvy, smart features are integrated and can be controlled by a single tablet/smartphone application.“Whether you are upstairs, downstairs, on the lounge, outside in the garden, or not even at home, you could be able to dim the lights, adjust the heating or cooling, and answer the door via the camera-enabled intercom doorbell,” said Shaun.“Upstairs, you have three bedrooms with a study area, a rumpus room, and a beautiful big bathroom.“In fact, we’ve had some trouble drawing the teenagers who have been inspecting the home with their parents back downstairs so they could leave!”<img alt="7-pownall-street-franklin-act-2913-94318-image-0-20240206084652377232-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-pownall-street-franklin-act-2913-94318-image.width-800_Yjcvy3l.jpg" width="800">This home comes with a modern kitchen with countless wow factors. Think quality tiles, mirrored splashbacks, strip lighting under the cupboards and pendant feature lighting over the extra-long kitchen island and breakfast bar.Shaun said the kitchen is definitely the heart of this home – and every convenience has been considered.“It has two ovens and a five-burner cooktop. Have a look at the space! When you are cooking a meal for the family and everybody is around it, you’ll be creating some priceless everlasting memories here.”The extra wow factor comes in the form of a hidden butler’s pantry, and if you like to keep the size of your wine stash on the down low, you’ll appreciate the secret space for your hallowed collection.“The kitchen and the hidden pantry have proved a real stand-out in the inspections so far.“The black wall looks like just that, a black wall. But the last panel you can open in and out, both ways, and it accesses the pantry. It’s a brilliant design.“The dining space is also big enough for a 12-seater table and chairs.”All the bedrooms are perfectly proportioned, nicely carpeted and enjoy plenty of natural light. One of the upstairs bedrooms would make a sensational guest room as it has its own private balcony with uninterrupted views of Black Mountain in the mid-distance and Mt Majura in the foreground.“It’s a massive build at 313 square metres. With the Canberra climate, people often look for a bigger structure because you can’t do much outdoors for several months of the year, so it’s good to have a bigger space to enjoy and do your activities inside.”<img alt="7-pownall-street-franklin-act-2913-94318-image-0-20240206084717019262-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-pownall-street-franklin-act-2913-94318-image.width-800_GCOZd8h.jpg" width="800">Outside, you have access via a double gate to an area that could be used as a wash bay or parking for your boat, caravan or extra vehicles.The picture is complete with high fences, a synthetic lawn, meaning no mowing, and a lovely firepit space for family gatherings.“The neighbourhood is full of families and has lots of larger homes; it’s a very family-orientated area.“There is a park only 50 metres away, and it has a sitting area on top of a hill and amazing views of Parliament House, the city and Mt Ainslie. This area is a hilltop so there are wonderful aspects to enjoy.”The Gubur Dhaura park features local Aboriginal artworks on site. It is a site of Aboriginal cultural significance and is exempt from suburban development. It has been made into a beautiful community park with artful interpretation to reveal the layers of history.The site covers about six hectares and gives a scenic vista that allows a visual panorama of all major mountains and mountain ranges in the Gungahlin basin. The site also forms an integral part of the cultural significance to the Ngunnawal people.7 Pownall Street, Franklin is for sale by negotiation (with a guide price of $1.6 to $1.7 million).<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/7-pownall-street-franklin-act-2913-94318/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/stamp-your-own-footprint-on-this-fabulous-new-family-home-in-franklin/746915" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
