 Designed to maximise energy efficiency, the house has an energy rating of 7.8 thanks to German double-glazed windows with PVC frames, insulation in the ceiling, internal and external walls, and a northerly aspect to the living spaces.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> agent <a href="/agents/ash-costello/">Ash Costello</a> says these features have put this “really special” house on the radars of buyers who weren’t even originally looking in Flynn.“Many of these buyers have been asking questions about Flynn. It’s a really beautiful, older established part of Canberra,” Ash says.“It’s super close to Mount Rogers nature trails [and] it has that community feel where your neighbours are your friends.“We had a neighbour gift us some limes, so we’ve had free limes for people to take home from the open home.”<img alt="17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0-20230511020145686229-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0.width-800_JwLKl1N.jpg" width="800">The home is a short walk from Melba Shops and Café MAMÉ, which comes with Ash’s tick of approval: “Great coffee and really great food&quot;.Also nearby is the Belconnen town centre, GIO Stadium and plenty of schools, with the home just 11 minutes from Canberra&#x27;s inner north and 18 minutes from the CBD.But don’t just take it from Ash. The current owners also weighed in on the “many wonderful things” about the home and surrounding community.“[We have] neighbours dropping off bunches of hand-picked proteas or dresses in my size from the local clothes swap,” the owner says.<img alt="17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0-20230511020146219282-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0.width-800_eUEVyTy.jpg" width="800">Dining in the garden (another favourite of the owners), guests overlook its well-established natives from a private Merbau timber deck which leads into the open-plan living and dining area.The north-facing living space takes advantage of passive solar heating in cooler months with burnished concrete floors and soaring ceilings and double-glazed windows maximising garden views.For the coldest Canberra winter days and nights, there’s a high-efficiency Pacific Energy Neo 1.6 fireplace with a heat transfer system that moves heat to the bedrooms.And for hot Canberra summers, there’s a Mitsubishi 5 kW split system (which can also be used for heating), eaves and awnings designed to block the sun, and ceiling fans in living areas and bedrooms.<img alt="17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0-20230511020146718472-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0.width-800_N9upEYb.jpg" width="800">“It’s also fitted with Soundcheck acoustic gyprock so it’s silent inside the home and you get this really peaceful outlook into the surrounding leafy gum trees and green space,” Ash says.“The beauty of this block is that it backs a green corridor, so it just extends your view line.”To the left of the living area inside is the kitchen, equipped with a breakfast bar, granite benchtops, Bosch induction cooktop and oven, Miele integrated dishwasher and Smeg rangehood.A master wing with nature views fills the right-hand side of the home, extending seamlessly into walk-in-storage and a spa-like ensuite with a shower room and relaxing tub.<img alt="17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0-20230511020148956012-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0.width-800_nTBjIGP.jpg" width="800">The other two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, centre around the main bathroom and a living space known as ‘Snug’ that flows to a second private deck.“A lot of people are also really pleased with the addition of the studio, which is out the back,” Ash adds.Sitting among the garden’s gums, the Colorbond-clad office pod is fully insulated with double-glazed windows and sliding glass doors.“It just gives people more options – if you’ve got teenagers or guests coming that want to have their own space or a working-from-home space,” Ash says.Sweeteners include a double carport, lockable shed, Bosch alarm system, smart watering system and use of recycled water for toilets and washing machines.<img alt="17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0-20230511020151284466-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787-image-0.width-800_51PqB3g.jpg" width="800">“People are really impressed with the quality of the build and also the aesthetic. It’s wonderful, and people can imagine themselves living here,” Ash says.17 Willyama Place, Flynn, goes to auction at 10.30am on Saturday 3 June 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-willyama-place-flynn-act-2615-79787/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/stunning-solar-passive-home-in-classic-canberra-suburb-of-flynn-goes-to-auction/662868" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>

Eco-friendly Flynn home is the future of life in Canberra

Kristen Zotti is used to getting a lot of attention.For her clients mostly — she’s been in the business of public relations and media management for more than a decade. But the owner of <a href="https://zottsandco.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zotts &amp; Co</a> recently took on one of the most challenging PR projects of her career: her own house.Making the move from Flynn to Weetangera, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21-ferguson-place-flynn-act-2615-77778/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kristen’s stunning home</a> - styled by Kristen herself thanks to “hours and hours of Pinterest research” and renovated by husband Mark - is up for auction on Saturday 15 April 2023.<img alt="21 Ferguson Place_329 (1)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21_Ferguson_Place_329_1.width-800.jpg" width="800">Originally from Griffith NSW, she and Mark (from Bowral) met in their first week on campus at the University of Canberra 15 years ago.“We bought our house on Christmas Eve in 2015,” Kristen recalls.“We moved in and started renovations, then got married a few months later — it was a big year!”Here are three things Kristen is doing to make sure her home stands out in the market ahead of auction. (And they’re all things you can totally copy!)<h2 data-block-key="dqo1n">1. Giving potential buyers a ‘taste’ of the local cafe.</h2><img alt="21 Ferguson Place_274" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21_Ferguson_Place_274.width-800.jpg" width="800">Those who inspect the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property are given a voucher for a free coffee at the local (Melba) shops.“A big part of the reason we love our house so much is the neighbourhood,” Kristen says.“Our favourite weekend activity is going for a walk to Melba shops and getting coffee and treats from Cafe Mamè.“The kids love going there too and we always visit the playground on the way home. It&#x27;s always such a great vibe, the staff are amazing and look after us. We wanted to give potential owners a taste of what life is like in our community.”<h2 data-block-key="393rs">2. Hosting an easter egg hunt for the children of potential buyers.</h2><img alt="21 Ferguson Place_004 copy" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21_Ferguson_Place_004_copy.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Our home is the perfect family home, and selling over Easter provided a fun opportunity to run a collaboration with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/enigma_chocs/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Enigma Fine Chocolates</a> in the photo shoot for our listing,” Kristen says.“We have an open home scheduled for Easter Saturday, so our agents are also running a little Easter egg hunt for potential buyers’ children that day.“It’s a beautiful way to show off the garden.”<h2 data-block-key="c19lg">3. Engaging a real estate agency that thinks differently.</h2><img alt="21-ferguson-place-flynn-act-2615-77778-image-0-20230330044638673692-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-ferguson-place-flynn-act-2615-77778-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">When appointing an agency to sell her home, Kristen was looking for sophisticated marketing and creative thinking.“Home.by holly really stands out from the rest,” she says.“Their strategy to highlight the story behind the home and give it personality really appealed to Mark and I, especially because we both work in PR.“We wanted to try to do things a little differently - we wrote a letter to our neighbours, giving them the scoop on our house going on the market in case they had anyone they wanted to welcome to our lovely quiet street.“Every idea we have had they&#x27;ve taken it and run with it - it&#x27;s been such an amazing collaborative experience, and we have been so impressed with the results so far.”<img alt="21-ferguson-place-flynn-act-2615-77778-image-0-20230330044639116644-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-ferguson-place-flynn-act-2615-77778-image-0.width-800_zok9mwf.jpg" width="800">What is Kristen hoping the new owners enjoy about the home?“Watching a beautiful Canberra sunset sitting on the deck is something special, but there is so much to love about this house,” she says.“It&#x27;s ready to move in - the new owners won&#x27;t have to lift a finger, except to add their own personal touch. We hope that whoever ends up here will love it just as much as we have and make beautiful memories for years to come.”Number 21 Ferguson Place, Flynn, goes to auction at 12 noon on Saturday 15 April 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21-ferguson-place-flynn-act-2615-77778/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

Glamorous Flynn home is proof you can buy stunning views in Belco

Friday mornings on Flierl Place, Flynn, were an absolute riot in the early 1980s.The full-time mums of the street would get together at someone’s home, drink coffee and chat while piles of kids yelled and played outside in the backyard.“Talk about laugh,” Merle says.“Some women on the street worked part-time but most of us were full-time mums, and Fridays were definitely one of the highlights of the week.”<img alt="2-flierl-place-flynn-act-2615-56985-image-0-20220508234641574610-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2-flierl-place-flynn-act-2615-56985-image-0-20.width-800.jpg" width="800">It’s one of the many beautiful memories making it a little challenging for Merle Coutts to leave her home of 47 years.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/2-flierl-place-flynn-act-2615-56985/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The five-bedroom property</a>, designed by iconic mid-century architects Pettit and Sevitt, goes to auction on Saturday 14 May 2022.“It’s true, I’m a little reluctant to leave,” Merle says.“But it’s time for the home to open its arms to a new family.”Merle and husband David both remember the first time they saw their architecturally-designed home in the small suburb in Canberra’s north. It was love at first sight. The home had all the hallmarks of a Pettit and Sevitt classic: simple, clean lines, natural light and ventilation, and efficient use of space. <img alt="2-flierl-place-flynn-act-2615-56985-image-0-20220508234641782620-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2-flierl-place-flynn-act-2615-56985-image-0-20.width-800_krYqwiE.jpg" width="800">Beyond the house, Canberra itself offered the couple the kind of lifestyle they dreamed of. Both Merle and David grew up in Sydney and spent time overseas before deciding to settle in the emerging city of Canberra. The city was small, quiet, and lacked the stress and noise of Sydney.For raising children, the home - and the suburb - were perfect.“One of our boys in particular is still best friends with the boys he went to preschool with,” Merle says.“There was, and still is, a nice community feel in Flynn.”<img alt="2 Flierl Pl_005.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2_Flierl_Pl_005_NOPc5CP.width-800.jpg" width="800">Additions to the home were undertaken in 1985 and 1995, and the kitchen was remodelled in the 1990s. Renovations undertaken by the Coutts’ remained true to the Pettit and Sevitt design, with door frames right to the ceiling and exposing the cedar used in new areas.After 47 years, it’s hard for the couple to choose the thing they’ve loved most about living at 2 Flierl Place.Merle loves the north-facing block: “The sun flowing in through the windows on a day like today, flowing into all of the rooms and filling them with light.”<img alt="2 Flierl Pl_033.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2_Flierl_Pl_033.width-800.jpg" width="800">For David, it’s the beautiful areas where outdoors meets indoors.“The garden and the home just merge seamlessly, which is a true Pettit and Sevitt intention,” he says.“It’s a treat to sit on either the front or the back decks and enjoy the quiet.”2 Flierl Place is being auctioned at 1pm on Saturday 14 May 2022.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/2-flierl-place-flynn-act-2615-56985/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

‘An absolute riot’: David and Merle recall Friday mornings in Flynn in the early 1980s

Set over four tiered levels, this five-bedroom home has been custom designed and owner-built to meet the needs of a large, contemporary family.Only three years old, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/25-huelin-circuit-flynn-act-2615-53200/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">25 Huelin Circuit</a> in Flynn definitely packs a punch with its commanding street presence and unique layered facade.With young kids herself, Belle Property Canberra sales agent Bree Currall says she can picture a family growing in this home, from toddlers to active teens, with room for everyone to have their own space. “The four tiers of the house provide so many different zones, from the home office and sound-proof kids area to the gorgeous open-plan entertaining area overlooking the backyard where everyone can come together,” Bree said.“With five bedrooms, and six living/activity spaces, the floor plan is clever and very, very flexible.”On the ground floor, there are three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, a family bathroom with bath, shower and separate toilet, a lounge room, study and kids activity room with plenty of storage.

The entire floor has an entrance separate to the main house, and the studio features a kitchenette, storage space and an ensuite. Bonus - it’s entirely sound proof.“Of course it’s ideal for multi-generational living but the first thing I thought when I walked into the property was, ‘this entire floor is perfect for someone who runs a business from home’,” says sales agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/bree-currall/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bree Currall from Belle Property Canberra</a>.“A hairdresser, a masseuse, a cake-maker who needs a separate kitchenette with display area, or a beauty therapist - someone is going to absolutely love this home.”<img alt="25-huelin-circuit-flynn-act-2615-53200-image-0-20220207060140940984-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/25-huelin-circuit-flynn-act-2615-53200-image-0.width-800_2iCZc19.jpg" width="800">If the ground floor is perfect for running a people-focused or creative business during the day, the middle and top floors are even more perfect for relaxing with a wine after clocking off.The middle (ground) floor is the hub of the home, featuring open plan living and dining, and an impressive kitchen with butler&#x27;s pantry.

Are you a public servant with a side hustle? Say hello to your new home in Flynn

Often a real estate agent is a fairly minor player in the story of a home; there for the important transactions but not much in between. But there are times when the agent plays an integral part in the home’s narrative, becoming almost part of the fabric of the house.In the case of <a href="/sale/22-love-street-flynn-act-2615-47111/">22 Love Street, Flynn</a>, agent <a href="/agents/natalie-kokic-schmidt/">Natalie Kokic Schmidt</a> from <a href="/agencies/mcgrath-canberra/">McGrath Canberra</a> has been part of the tale since before the home was even built. As a friend of the home’s original owners, she helped advise on selecting the right block, and was there to offer feedback during the design process, before the luxurious four-bedroom, two-bathroom home was built and the new owners moved in. The meticulously designed barn house features handcrafted and bespoke joinery, luxurious finishes, and large entertaining spaces.When the owners decided to sell and buy a new block elsewhere in Canberra, they called on Natalie again, this time to sell the property.“I think what they liked about me was just that I&#x27;m not a pushy person. I just give them the advice around what I think, and then let them make a decision based off that,” says Natalie.After a short campaign with plenty of interest, the property went to auction in November 2020, and sold for $1,300,500, <a href="/news/handcrafted-home-sets-new-flynn-record/">breaking the existing suburb price record in Flynn</a>. There was particularly tight bidding between two groups, and Natalie says the new owners were, “pretty emotional,” to eventually secure the house.<img alt="22_love_street_Kitchen.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Kitchen.width-800.jpg" width="800">Natalie believes her relationship with clients doesn’t end at settlement, and she regularly kept in contact and checked in with the new owners.“Any time someone does need something, I&#x27;m happy to help. With this property, whenever the new owners had any questions, I was always responsive and happy to provide answers,” says Natalie.When circumstances changed and the new owners decided to put the property back on the market, it was a no-brainer for them to engage Natalie to sell the home she had sold them just the year before.“I think it was staying in touch that helped, and also just answering all their questions. And I think they like that we do a lot in that area, and also that we have had so much to do with the home,&quot; says Natalie.“I grew up nearby in Melba, so I know the area well. And we just recently set the <a href="/news/flynn-suburb-record-smashed-after-luxurious-home-sells-211k-over-price-guide/">new price record for Flynn at 7 Spalding Street too</a>.”<img alt="22_love_street_flynn_Deck.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Deck.width-800.jpg" width="800">With 22 Love Street back on the market, Natalie says there’s just as much interest in the home again despite COVID restrictions, including from some of the potential buyers from last time.“This time around, we can only do one-on-one inspections, and because it’s by appointment we’re having to vet clients and make sure they’re ready to buy and have looked at the floorplan, because the type of home is quite unique. But we&#x27;re getting some really good feedback with it,” she says.The <a href="/sale/22-love-street-flynn-act-2615-47111/">auction for 22 Love Street Flynn will be held online on October 9</a>, and Natalie is eager to see the next chapter in the home’s story unfold.
