Initially built as a workers’ cottage in the 1920s on Acton Peninsula, this impeccably renovated house was relocated to Hall in the 1960s and repurposed into a three-bedroom two, two-bathroom house with a studio, including an additional bedroom and bathroom, making it ideal for a growing family.Luton licensed property agents Nick Paine and Peter White say the history behind <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/24-palmer-street-hall-act-2618-103100/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">24 Palmer Street</a> is something to talk about.<div>

“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>

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. You can buy with confidence because of who built this.”<img alt="1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853-image-0-20240423031715176651-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_r2y01PE.jpg" width="800">Kris believes there will be significant interest from downsizers in the penthouse.“This presents a great opportunity for a couple looking for something different from a large family home that may now be a lot emptier if the kids have grown up and moved out.“The penthouse offers space, privacy and a superb outlook, and that’s exactly what appealed to the current owners, who moved out of a large home on the coast and came here to be closer to family.“This will suit someone who wants an exceptional space and a phenomenal outlook.<img alt="1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853-image-0-20240423031718026338-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1199" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1303-2-gribble-street-gungahlin-act-2912-99853.width-800_78T8ZeP.jpg" width="800">“In saying that, though, this could also suit someone who still has an adult child with them as there are three garage spaces that sit side by side downstairs. 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>

“This is a very rare find. A brand-new home in an established neighbourhood,” he said.“The builder and the architect have designed and built the perfect lifestyle home. 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>

The master bedroom features a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom, while the other two bedrooms have built-in mirrored robes.“When it comes to the bathrooms, the combination of high-quality finishes and neutral tones also stand out,&quot; Troy says.<img alt="8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0-20220911234744823051-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0.width-800_Pr8RRXN.jpg" width="800">But the ‘wow factor’ is outside: the newly-installed Merbau timber deck.“The timber is beautiful. It’s the first thing that catches your eye as you step outside into the alfresco area,&quot; Troy says.&quot;The family room flows onto the fully covered timber deck, and it’s just perfect for family gatherings and barbecues.“The kids have the space and opportunity to play in the backyard and run around, or even have pets, while the parents can have their own zone.”<img alt="8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0-20220911234746228164-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0.width-800_dgdQeHi.jpg" width="800">The home has ducted heating and cooling, plus a 3.5-star energy rating which ensures all-year-round comfort. It also features a double garage, Colorbond fencing, well-maintained landscaping and established fruit trees.“I think what draws young families the most about this property is the proximity to Palmerston Primary School,” Troy says.“Gungahlin Town Centre is also only a five-minute drive away, offering a variety of stores and eateries.“There’s so much to like about this property, and we’ve seen a lot of interest in it so far.”<img alt="8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0-20220911234747963486-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0.width-800_daFxgq1.jpg" width="800">Number 8 Arid Place, Palmerston, goes to auction at 11am on Saturday 24 September 2022.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing</a>.Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/an-offering-of-peace-and-quiet-and-easy-living-in-palmerston/591382" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct</a>.

“The feeling of this home is really special,” said Luton real estate agent Nick Paine. “There’s a lot of attention to detail with this home and a lot of focus on practicality.”Set on a 915 sqm block, the property is divided into two units of 216 square metres and 221 square metres. It’s minutes from Kippax shopping centre and the Belconnen Town Centre, and less than 20-minutes from the Canberra CBD.“There are only 10 houses on the street and it’s full of brand new houses, with another one to be constructed across the road,” Nick said.“It is unique for a whole street in an established area to be under five years old.”<img alt="9-Mein-Plan-Latham.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-Mein-Plan-Latham.width-800.jpg" width="800">Nick said when you first lay your eyes on the stunning homes, the beautiful north-facing windows set the scene for what awaits you inside.“The timber on white is such a bold statement when you first see the homes. It’s clearly built for young families,” he said.“It’s got great open living areas. The living space and kitchen are designed so that there’s a lot of space for everyone, and if kids want to go play outside, you can still be involved in conversations inside.”Nick said the beautifully pitched ceilings create a cathedral look to the home, complementing the very modern design of the homes, but adding “a bit of a country twist”.<img alt="Loungeroom.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Loungeroom.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The homes have very soft touches of colour inside and there’s a lot of use of light green, which again just makes it feel really different from the modern home.”Each home features an open-plan kitchen with stone benchtops, new electric ovens, stainless steel appliances, LED lighting and a walk-in pantry.As you walk upstairs, you are immersed in the sanctuary of the home, four bedrooms accompanied by two spacious bathrooms.Three generous bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes while the master bedroom has a walk-in.<img alt="Bathrooms.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Bathrooms.width-800.jpg" width="800">Another unique feature: they’re split level.“The living area is away from all the bedrooms, so in terms of having people over, they’re not going to go into your personal space.“And there are the views from the double-glazed windows to the tops of the Brindabellas.”Each home has its own alfresco area (either 12 sqm or 19 sqm) and a separate backyard.“They are really private outdoor areas, which were created to give as much privacy as possible,” he said.“The only thing the units share is the driveway at the end of the cul-de-sac.”<img alt="Outdoor.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Outdoor.width-800.jpg" width="800">It also features a double garage, allowing plenty of car space for owners.Nick said there has been a lot of interest, particularly from young families.“We’ve seen a lot of interest in a few young families looking to get into an established area with something that’s new,” he said.“There’s a lot of young families and younger people in this area, and then there are people that have been there for 40 years, so we’re really keen to see what happens with these homes.”The next inspection is on Saturday, 19 March at 1:15 pm.To arrange an inspection of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/9-mein-place-latham-act-2615-55132/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">9 Mein Place</a> in Latham, contact Nick Paine at Luton Gungahlin on 0421 794 404.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/a-pair-of-architecturally-pleasing-homes-combine-modern-living-with-a-country-twist/541380" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>
