 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

There’s a little mystery surrounding <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this stunning 97-year-old cottage</a> on Queanbeyan’s Stornaway Road.The two-bedroom home, which is currently for sale at around the million dollar mark, features the most incredible detailing across its air vents and on the ceiling. While interior roof detailing was not unusual for homes built in the 1920s, it is the ‘theme’ of the detail that has sales agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/bianca-way/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bianca Way</a>, of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.by holly</a> intrigued.<img alt="127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-image-0-20220328020142886177-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">“There are lots of theological motifs featured in the ceiling and air vent plaster work, cherubs and crosses all surrounded by quite feminine flowers and detailing,” Bianca says.“The property backs onto the gardens of the Baptist church so I am curious to know if perhaps the home was first built for someone associated with the church.”Complete with a white picket fence, the house at 127 Stornaway Road pre-dates most of Canberra - including Old Parliament House, the War Memorial and the Melbourne and Sydney buildings. The first owners would have been living on the edge of town at the time the house was built, but today the cottage is as central as it gets; within walking distance of Queanbeyan’s beautiful town park and the restaurants along the main street.<img alt="127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-image-0-20220328020146515864-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-i.width-800_SbTQNgS.jpg" width="800">You can feel the history as soon as you step in the front door, Bianca says, and original details have been beautifully maintained against some more modern features like a new kitchen and bi-fold doors out to the deck.“The heritage detailing is so captivating, the ceilings and the pinky-purple leadlight windows are utterly enchanting,” Bianca says.“Standing in the massive garden makes you feel as if you’re in the grounds of your own private heritage homestead.“It’s quintessential Queanbeyan - charming, unexpected and a little bit off-beat!”<img alt="127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-image-0-20220328020146757435-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-i.width-800_LYIVAM6.jpg" width="800">The house is drawing interest from a diverse range of buyers, from extended families to creatives to downsizers and, largely because the property comes with one-bedroom studio, complete with its own giant workshop or office.“That’s one of the best things about the studio, it’s so versatile,” Bianca says.“We’ve set up as a fantastic guest room, and it could easily be used for multigenerational living, an Airbnb, or an amazing home office.“It’s been used by several artisans and makers over the years as a studio and workshop, and even the heritage adviser from the council mentioned how spectacular it would be as a master bedroom if it were joined to the main cottage with an extension.”<img alt="127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-image-0-20220328020149323273-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253-i.width-800_foC1zIo.jpg" width="800">The current owners of the home purchased it when high prices in Canberra’s inner north and south forced them to cast their attention to Queanbeyan.“They discovered the amazing art community and felt right at home,” Bianca says.“I imagine the new owners may be quite similar.”<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/127-stornaway-road-queanbeyan-nsw-2620-55253/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing for 127 Stornaway Road, Queanbeyan, here.</a>

Was this stunning cottage on Queanbeyan’s Stornaway Road built for a priest?

The front door is the only giveaway.It’s fairy floss pink against an otherwise completely monochrome exterior. Which is why, when you walk in the front door at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/2-kinkora-place-crestwood-nsw-2620-50291/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2 Kinkora Place, Queanbeyan,</a> it’s a little breathtaking. Like walking into the pages of your favourite childhood book, without knowing you were about to land there.<img alt="Front door of 2 Kinkora Place, Queanbeyan" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Kinkora_front_door.width-800.jpg" width="800">The five-bedroom, two-bathroom house is split into ‘multigenerational living’ with a fully self contained apartment upstairs and another one downstairs.In the ground floor apartment, there’s a shade of pink on almost every wall. From the kitchen to the lounge room to the laundry. Every detail has been considered: retro gold curtain sweeps, matte black fixtures and vintage chandeliers.It’s a romantic world that was lovingly created by the vendor Jill’s daughter, Jo, who was a true creative and designed the pastel rainbow colour palette for her apartment. She was obsessed with vintage furniture.<img alt="2 Kinkora Place Crestwood 1.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="476" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2_Kinkora_Place_Crestwood_1.width-800.png" width="800">Sadly, Jo died of breast cancer around 12 months ago, and now Jill is ready to pass the truly special property on to new custodians.Sales agent <a href="/agents/bianca-way/">Bianca Way</a> from <a href="/agents/homebyholly/">Home.by Holly</a> says the ground floor apartment is perfect for a creative who runs their own business and wants to live every day in a state of inspiration.“The vibe is undeniable, there is only joy in this space,” Bianca says.“Queanbeyan is full of creatives and artisans, so the possibilities of this home will be the real appeal.“I think ultimately it will appeal to a creative buyer, someone who could even use the massive garage as an art studio.“Someone who makes a statement and isn’t afraid to take risks.”<img alt="Office of 2 Kinkora Place Crestwood" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Kinkora_office.width-800.jpg" width="800">Set on a 847 square metre block, what is now a five bedroom home was a complex containing three separate units when Jill bought it back in 2019. Walls came down, bathrooms were beautifully resurrected and modern kitchens and laundries were installed, all in a matter of months.Which may be why almost the entire city of Queanbeyan - not least of which the home’s neighbours on Kinkora Place - are in shock.The property has had a ‘phenomenal’ response on social media, according to Bianca, with one Facebook user commenting ‘I had no idea this was even on my street!’<img alt="Laundry of 2 Kinkora Place Crestwood" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1199" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Kinkora_laundry.width-800.jpg" width="800">“I first saw the home on FaceTime during lockdown and knew it was special,” Bianca says.“People are just walking in the front door and getting lost in the property.”And if you’re a potential buyer who’s more of a minimalist?“The key thing to look at here is that the fixtures and fittings of the home are so stunning,” Bianca says.“The pink is elegant and understated, so if a lot of pink isn’t for you, a lick of paint on the walls would tone it down just enough to let you appreciate all the pink goodness on a slightly smaller scale.”The home at 2 Kinkora Place, Queanbeyan, will be auctioned at 9am on Saturday 4 December 2021. <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/2-kinkora-place-crestwood-nsw-2620-50291/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the Zango exclusive listing here.</a>

‘Like a dollhouse’: the magical Queanbeyan listing that’s shocking even its neighbours

The Canberra property market was given some relief over the weekend with eased COVID-19 restrictions allowing private home inspections to recommence.The changes now <a href="/news/lockdown-extended-but-private-real-estate-inspections-now-permitted-in-canberra/">allow real estate agents in the ACT to conduct in-person house inspections by private appointment only</a>, with just a single agent and members from a single household able to attend.Agent <a href="/agents/bianca-way/">Bianca Way</a> from <a href="/agencies/home-holly/">Home.by Holly</a> did 10 inspections over the first weekend of eased restrictions, and said the change was a welcome relief for both buyers and vendors.“We had properties go to auction and other ones listed to auction this weekend, and being able to have serious buyers through has really helped solidify homes from their perspective. It’s also helped us be able to provide valuable buyer feedback to vendors,” she said.With strict ACT health guidelines still in place, Bianca said buyers were happy to comply, and were mostly just appreciative of the opportunity to visit the homes.“After weeks of being marketed online only, I think vendors were relieved to finally get buyers through the door,” she said.“For lots of buyers, the chance to see the home in person is a bit of a cherry on top in their decision-making process.”<a href="/agents/jake-battenally/">Jake Battenally</a> from <a href="/agencies/ray-white/">Ray White Canberra</a> also believes the change is a positive step for the industry.“It&#x27;s good to be back out there showing buyers through, in particular for our larger homes that are harder to give buyers the confidence to bid site unseen,” he said.Over the weekend, Jake and his team ran 24 private inspections, with just a few hiccups along the way.“We had some frustrations around last-minute cancellations from buyers, as we had been limited to the amount of people we could show through, but generally speaking, people have been courteous and understanding of our restrictions,” he said.“Buyers have been pretty resilient buying site unseen, but I think there&#x27;s always a preference for a buyer to see what they&#x27;re purchasing in person, so it&#x27;s been appreciated. Although we&#x27;ve been able to provide a pretty good product and experience online, I think it&#x27;s always good if they can see it before they buy.”Jake believes the change will help confidence in the market remain strong.“This will only bolster the confidence for any nervous buyer with a bit more clarity on where we&#x27;re headed. And for sellers, they should take solace in the fact that we&#x27;re essentially fully operational with photos, building reports, styling, and one on one inspections, albeit under the COVID guidelines,” he said.Bianca also believes the eased restrictions will help give vendors confidence to get their homes on the market.“Especially with other services slowly becoming more available like styling, gardening and trades for maintenance on vacant homes. While it feels that we will definitely be having a spring unlike any other, I think we will get the hang of a ‘new norm’ soon enough,” she said.

Will one-on-one home inspections win buyers over?

When M and her husband decided to put their <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/3-janari-place-aranda-act-2614-44978/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aranda property</a> on the market, they had no idea it would break a suburb record. But it did indeed…landing the owners a very impressive sales price of $1.635 million, supported by <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/home-holly/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">home.byholly</a> agents <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/sally-strang/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sally Strang</a> and <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/ash-costello" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ash Costello</a>.The property was marketed exclusively through Zango, and attracted more than 80 people to the first open home alone. 7 registered bidders competed for the property on the day, with the reserve met almost immediately after the auction started.<img alt="janari_place_b.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/janari_place_b.width-800.jpg" width="800">“We’ve been here 29 years, but this is a 3-storey place with a large garden so we needed to move to a retirement village,” says M. “We contacted a few agents, and it was Sally and Ash who really impressed us. They were so helpful and encouraging with good advice on how to set up for photos and open days. Even though it was freezing and snowing during our first open home, it still attracted over 80 people!”On auction day, they sat in the car in the driveway to be on hand for consultation as the auction played out.“It was great to have the Zango coffee van there; it was delicious free coffee. Lots of neighbours came, and we also had the daughter of the people who owned the property before us come to watch. Her parents designed the front and back gardens we enjoyed for so many years, so we gave her some cuttings of their original plants.“Once the bidding reached the reserve price we were so happy. But then it went on and on and we thought, heavens! It was amazing.”<img alt="janari_place_a.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/janari_place_a.width-800.jpg" width="800">M says she is so pleased that a young family have bought the home as their children will be able to enjoy all the same things her children did when they were young.“My children used to love performing concerts on the balcony while we watched from below, which is something the previous owners did with their children too. Now I’m sure this lovely new family will do the same.“It is such a great neighbourhood; when COVID hit we had a neighbour going to the market for us, another handing pizzas over the fence, and lots of support from others. I’m sure the buyers are really going to love living here.“The process was all a big unknown for us, but Sally and Ash were great at explaining everything and answering all our questions. I had been on Zango to look up the sale of another home in our suburb so I knew it was a good website. Turned out we had family and friends in Europe, NZ and the US who looked it up on Zango after we listed it.“We just can’t believe our luck…we’re absolutely delighted.”Of advertising exclusively on Zango, Residential Property Specialist at home.byholly Sally Strang, says it was a no-brainer.“There have simply been enough sales now to support advertising exclusively on Zango in Canberra. We’ve proven this across all regions now with strong attendance at open homes, multiple buyers competing for the properties, and incredibly strong prices being achieved.<img alt="janari_place_c.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/janari_place_c.width-800.png" width="800">“The primary advantage of a Zango exclusive is the cost savings. Our vendors were wonderful, and took our advice throughout the campaign. The money they saved in marketing meant they could invest in the presentation of the home to achieve a great result.“We had a great response with plenty of enquiry, large numbers at open homes, and registration from 7 bidders on auction day where we had the Zango coffee van adding to the buzz with complementary coffees. Competitive bidding continued all the way up to $1.635M, and our vendors are thrilled!”

We all could do with hearing a nice story at the moment, and they don’t come much cuter than the one behind the listing of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/58-davenport-street-dickson-act-2602-24647/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">58 Davenport Street, Dickson</a>.After moving into an adorable duplex in Dickson, ‘Lucy’ started chatting to her new neighbour, ‘Emmet’, and the two got along well.Then Lucy noticed Emmet’s LEGO pirate ships and confessed she was into LEGO too. Both had kept their childhood collections, so they set about rebuilding them together - his pirate-themed LEGO and her town themes.<img alt="58 Davenport Street DICKSON 2.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="435" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/58_Davenport_Street_DICKSON_2.width-800.png" width="800">LEGO play dates went on between the two neighbours at numbers 58 and 60 for about a year. Lucy and Emmet&#x27;s LEGO love and collection grew, and many thousands of bricks later, they had built the foundations for not only many LEGO masterpieces, but also the foundations for a lifetime together. And it turns out Lucy and Emmet had far more in common than their love of LEGO alone. Emmet eventually transitioned over to living in number 58 - growing a family with Lucy and making it home.<img alt="58 Davenport Street DICKSON 3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="487" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/58_Davenport_Street_DICKSON_3.width-800.png" width="800">As two lives merged into one, they adapted the home to give space to their growing family, LEGO collection, plus Emmet&#x27;s growing car collection. Over the past 14 years they have lovingly renovated Lucy&#x27;s four bedroom, two bathroom duplex, with eclectic vintage aesthetic and colourful Mondrian inspirations. Every turn leads you to another carefully considered style feature, that perfectly complements the home, and Lucy and Emmet&#x27;s impeccable taste.The home has been extended to include a spacious living area, master bedroom and en suite. Up the original timber stairs are three more bedrooms, two faced to take advantage of the northerly sunshine, the other with views over the private front courtyard and the treelined street.<img alt="Screen Shot 2020-03-24 at 8.40.08 am.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2020-03-24_at_8.40.08_am.width-800.png" width="800">The backyard has also been finely tuned with an adorable cubby built out of recycled materials from the main house, and space to relax on the deck while you watch the kids play on the luscious green lawns.All we know is, this is the real life love story we all needed to hear right now.<h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/58-davenport-street-dickson-act-2602-24647/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">See the full listing here.</a></h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/58-davenport-street-dickson-act-2602-24647/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Photos: Home.byHolly</a>

A home is so much more than the walls, a roof and the floors. There are the stories held within those walls, the history weaved through the joinings, the lifestyle it creates, and the promise of what living there could bring.It’s these aspects that fascinated Holly Komorowski enough to draw her into a career in real estate back in 2010. A former primary school teacher, Holly was inspired to try something new when returning to work after raising her six children.“I was trying to buy a home in the inner north about 11 years ago when the market in Canberra was strong, and I spent a whole year going to open homes and auctions and always being the under bidder and missing out,” says Holly.“Even though it was stressful being a buyer, I found I really loved it. I’d always been interested in real estate and what the house was going for down the road and what it was worth. So I decided that was a direction I wanted to go in.”She started her career in real estate in 2010, and then launched boutique agency Home by Holly in August 2016, which has grown into one of Canberra’s leading agencies.The Home By Holly team is well-known for unique and engaging marketing campaigns that draw out the personal story of the home, sometimes even integrating local businesses and the community as part of the rich narrative. “I like to represent homes in a way that is personal and meaningful, and to really focus on stories,” says Holly. “We’re always thinking creatively and not just doing the cookie cutter approach, but thinking outside the square a little bit in a way that finds meaning for the buyer.”Holly is one of the leading agents in the inner north, particularly Ainslie, Braddon, Turner, Campbell and Reid, and says she’s drawn to the area’s diversity and rich history.“It’s an area that just keeps evolving and growing, and the layers keep peeling back. I&#x27;m just continually discovering and learning more about what makes this particular part of Canberra such a strong, connected community,” she says. “There are people who have been there forever, and the landscape has changed so dramatically around them, yet I feel like the ideals and the soul of the inner north haven&#x27;t.”Highly organised, energetic, and motivated, Holly’s dealings with clients go far beyond the regular transaction.“For me, it’s all about a sense of home and what home means to people,” says Holly.“It&#x27;s about getting into that next level of how you help someone find a home. The home is not just bricks and mortar. It&#x27;s the place where they’ll live because their kids are going to play in the local footy club, or go to the local school. These are the sorts of considerations they&#x27;re making and I find it rewarding when we can help people in that holistic sense.”Where would we usually find you outside of work?Running around the Lake in the mornings just as the sun comes up and it’s getting light - it’s the most beautiful time of day. Or in winter, walking up Mt Ainslie when it’s -4 outside and it’s foggy and there’s just a little bit of light. Then you get to the top of the mountain and the fog is completely blanketed over the city and you can just see the top of Black Mountain tower on top of all the fog. They&#x27;re the sort of things I love that make Canberra so beautiful.Top home must-haves?I think it’s important to look at the light immersion and how that connects between the living spaces and outside, particularly the gardens. I think that adds just a whole other level to a home. Then of course the kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and you spend a lot of time in there. It doesn&#x27;t even have to be a new kitchen, but you want it to be really centralised in the home and connect the family and all the people that are living there together.<div>
