“It just keeps on giving,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/luton-gungahlin/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luton Gungahlin</a> sales consultant <a href="/agents/annelies-bindley-2/">Annelies Bindley</a> says.“You keep finding yourself saying, ‘Oh wow, look at this’ and ‘Oh, I didn’t see that’.“We’ve had two open homes and people have taken their time to walk through the property. We’ve even had to extend the open time because it’s so big.”<img alt="36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-image-0-20231004224652364803-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">The upper floor alone spans 250sqm with multiple living and dining areas, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and an updated modern kitchen at its heart.The kitchen comes fully equipped with an induction cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher, ample storage, leafy views and plenty of bench space for preparing meals. The north-facing formal lounge and dining areas open directly to a verandah spanning the full length of the home, while the family room features a balcony overlooking the swimming pool with views to Isaacs Ridge.<img alt="36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-image-0-20231004224654221228-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-ima.width-800_orx95ab.jpg" width="800">From this vantage point, you might notice a curious detail – the initials ‘R.A’ at the bottom of the pool.“It was an original builder’s home,” Annelies says.“He built it for himself and his family and they lived there for a while.“As a joke, when they installed the swimming pool, the tiler said, ‘I’m going to put your initials in there’. The builder said, ‘Yeah, sure,’ and they came home and there were the initials.”<img alt="36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-image-0-20231004224700821657-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-ima.width-800_NDN4aQ5.jpg" width="800">The summer-ready garden has an enclosed swimming pool, paved barbecue area, well-maintained veggie patch and access to yet another surprise – a leafy nature corridor with walking trails.To unwind and relax, a dedicated bedroom wing housing four of the home’s five bedrooms and the main updated bathroom is positioned off an oversized hallway with a built-in bookshelf, skylight and double door linen press. The main bedroom is the standout, courtesy of its views of Black Mountain, walk-in robe and renovated ensuite with a bath, double vanity and large frameless shower.<img alt="36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-image-0-20231004224657676623-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-ima.width-800_luymqPz.jpg" width="800">“And then you go downstairs and there’s a whole list of hidden features that you didn’t even think were part of the property,” Annelies says.Wine lovers have their very own secure lock-up wine cellar, and there’s yet another living space with direct access outdoors and a secure double lock-up garage.<img alt="36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-image-0-20231004224654998819-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-ima.width-800_DAtwvKH.jpg" width="800">But the highlight of the lower level treasure trove is a fifth bedroom within a self-contained unit, complete with kitchenette, bathroom, storage space with room for a workshop or home gym and private garden access.“There’s something for families with smaller kids or teenagers or even multi-generational living. It’s basically a large property where there’s something for everybody,” Annelies says.<img alt="36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-image-0-20231004224657913006-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766-ima.width-800_z0jVzWg.jpg" width="800">“It’s got that feeling when you walk in of being welcomed home. You feel like you’re at home and you just exhale, which is really quite remarkable. Not all homes have that.”The home at 36 Drevermann Street in Farrer goes to auction at 12 noon on Saturday 28 October 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/36-drevermann-street-farrer-act-2607-87766/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/lots-of-hidden-extras-and-one-mysterious-detail-inside-the-pool-at-spacious-farrer-retreat/710999" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.

Lots of hidden extras (and a mysterious detail at the bottom of the pool) in Farrer retreat

Get ready to feel like you&#x27;re in sunny California - on the set of a real estate reality series - with this opulent home in Red Hill.“Being on the home’s top balcony at dusk is just beautiful,” <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/luton-manuka/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luton Properties</a> sales consultant <a href="/agents/sharon-peart-4/">Sharon Peart</a> says of the five-bedroom home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">49 Investigator Street</a>.<img alt="49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471-image-0-20230810001639143025-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70-960x640" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471.width-800.jpg" width="800">“You have more than 180-degree views from Parliament House to Mount Ainslie and then across to Hume and around to Red Hill Nature Reserve.“There are views from most of the windows in the house, so even as you walk through, you keep getting glimpses from all of the living areas.”The hub of the home is a sprawling, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with a sunny, northeasterly aspect. The hero of the space is a central four-metre white marble island bench and adjoined timber breakfast bar.<img alt="49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471-image-0-20230810001635611309-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471.width-800_0K6UmC2.jpg" width="800">“It’s all white and light, and the marble is beautiful,” Sharon says.The kitchen also features quality gas appliances, a walk-in pantry and marble splashback.The adjacent classic formal lounge is perfect for entertaining, with decedent touches like Jarrah timber flooring, a fireplace and overhanging chandeliers.<img alt="Downloaded-original52377390-49Investigator2023070617-960x640" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Downloaded-original52377390-49Investigator2023.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The Jarrah floors feel very homely, even though they’re high-end, whereas the kitchen area is very modern, but also feels homely,” Sharon explains.Walk down the home’s statement winding staircase and you’ll find yourself in the formal entranceway with five-metre ceilings and a chandelier. Also on this level is the addition of a self-contained studio complete with private external access and its own bathroom and kitchenette.<img alt="49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471-image-0-20230810001634748322-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471.width-800_dy8Giqz.jpg" width="800">“It’s a multigenerational home,” Sharon says.“The studio could cater to a family member, but also working from home.”Three of the home’s four remaining bedrooms are on the top level, while the fourth bedroom (or home office) is on the first floor.The top-floor master wing is the highlight with a walk-in robe, ensuite, seated bay window, Tasmanian Oak flooring and covered direct access to the top balcony.<img alt="49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471-image-0-20230810001638554399-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471.width-800_HGBJrFS.jpg" width="800">Two more well-sized bedrooms are located on the top floor, with Tasmanian Oak flooring, built-in robes, and close access to the main bathroom with spa bath.Guests and residents alike will be kept comfortable and safe year-round thanks to Pilkington glass for better insulation, reverse-cycle heating and cooling and a back-to-base security system.<img alt="49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471-image-0-20230810001637306679-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471.width-800_lq1T8g4.jpg" width="800">Downstairs, the home features a double garage with lots of storage, easy care private garden and a paved patio barbecue area (and Sharon suggests there’s room for a small pool).Courtesy of its central inner south location, the home is just moments away from Red Hill Shops, Manuka Village and some of Canberra’s best schools.Sharon says it’s a home that strikes the right balance.<img alt="Downloaded-original52377308-49Investigator2023070616" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Downloaded-original52377308-49Investigator2023.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It’s not overwhelming or too big,” she says.“It’s got a feeling of grandeur, but it also feels like a family home.”The home at 49 Investigator Street, Red Hill, is advertised at $2,850,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/49-investigator-street-red-hill-act-2603-84471/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/high-end-but-homely-red-hill-retreat-has-panoramic-views-and-stunning-elegance/702114" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.

Coveted by young families for the surrounding schools and by savvy buyers for capital growth, homes don’t come up often here, but when they do, they don’t last long.Number <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">28 Fortitude Street, Red Hill</a>, is a rare foothold in an aspirational suburb, where the “opportunity and options” are the greatest drawcard, according to <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/hive-property/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hive Property</a> selling agent <a href="/agents/josh-morrissey-2/">Josh Morrissey</a>.<img alt="28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-image-0-20230616004637274540-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-im.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Red Hill is one of the hottest, most prestigious areas of Canberra, with elevated views over the city,&quot; Josh says.&quot;It’s highly regarded by young families thanks to the excellent schooling options. People move in and they don’t move out.“tThis home is a chance to buy something in a very tightly held suburb and gradually make it your own.“On the other hand, anyone with a keen eye for the value of a suburb, the opportunity it presents over time and the compounding effect of that will see endless options to renovate this home into a turnkey, extend or knockdown and on-sell it to a large buyer base.”<img alt="28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-image-0-20230616004640275821-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-im.width-800_HGnidMh.jpg" width="800">Josh describes Red Hill as &quot;one of Canberra’s most significant growth areas during COVID&quot;, offering consistently impressive capital uplift outside of that.“Essentially, the buyer can create their own value in a suburb known for exactly that,” he says.Though many of the older homes in the area have been fully renovated or are knockdown-rebuilds, including huge architect-designed mansions, Red Hill retains the charm that comes with being one of the capital’s older suburbs: both in the aesthetic and the sense of community that has bloomed over time.Set on more than 650sqm on an elevated part of Red Hill, at the base of Red Hill lookout, the home was built in the 1950s.<img alt="28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-image-0-20230616004635085873-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-im.width-800_7qGZdZX.jpg" width="800">The price guide welcomes offers above $1.6 million.“If you’re living in a bordering area like Woden Valley and looking to move to a more centralised location, this is your chance to enter that market,” Josh says.“You’re also purchasing into a league of blue-chip properties, representing an opportunity to capitalise on the properties around you.“The house itself also presents options. It currently has views to Black Mountain on the northeast side, but you could create enormous value by building up and capitalising on potentially great views.”The home has a spacious and functional kitchen with electric stainless steel appliances, an open-plan living area and a dining space.<img alt="28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-image-0-20230616004637627754-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-im.width-800_EMCNbMl.jpg" width="800">The main bedroom contains dual wardrobes and there are two additional spacious bedrooms. The study makes for the ideal work-from-home office or space for the kids to do homework.The timber deck is a lovely spot for a quiet cuppa or for activity from the kitchen to spill out onto.The under-house rumpus has an additional toilet and can also be used for extra storage space, and there’s a double-car garage with an automatic roller door. The home comes with solar panels.<img alt="28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-image-0-20230616004635969687-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605-im.width-800_23YQEy6.jpg" width="800">Located a short walk from Red Hill Nature Reserve, a two-minute drive to Red Hill Shops, a short drive to Telopea Park School, Canberra Girls’ Grammar and Canberra Grammar School, and just 11 minutes from the CBD, this is a trophy address anyone would be proud to call home.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">28 Fortitude Street</a>, Red Hill, is open for inspection on Tuesday 20 June and Wednesday 21 June 2023 between 12 noon and 12.30pm. the property will be auctioned at 5pm on Thursday 29 June 2023.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/28-fortitude-street-red-hill-act-2603-81605/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/blue-chip-and-tightly-held-red-hot-opportunity-knocks-red-hill/672175" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT</a>.
