What if your bathroom needed modernising but you were so in love with its mid-1970s tiles you couldn’t bear to part with them?Well then you’d do what the owner of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-schubert-place-kambah-act-2902-93917/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">6 Schubert Place, Kambah</a>, did: painstakingly remove, clean and then retile the bathroom with them. Talk about a huge job, but just look at the result: a beautiful, sunshiney, retro space that would make you feel happy every morning, even on the greyest of days.<img alt="6-schubert-place-kambah-act-2902-93917-image-0-20240118053147999865-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-schubert-place-kambah-act-2902-93917-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">The bathroom is gorgeous but as we explored more of this unassuming two-storey home in Canberra&#x27;s biggest suburb, it just kept giving and giving.Here are a few of our favourite things:<h3 data-block-key="fe7d0">The spiral staircase.</h3><img alt="6-schubert-place-kambah-act-2902-93917-image-0-20240118053149116502-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-schubert-place-kambah-act-2902-93917-image-0.width-800_o8p79wm.jpg" width="800">Nothing says early 1980s glam like a set of winding stairs.

Canberra's most beautiful bathroom just hit the market in Kambah

Why do some Canberrans have a hard time admitting they&#x27;re cashed up bogans?You know what I mean. That Canberran at a wedding or a barbecue who tells you the suburb they live in, but then adds a little laugh and a disclaimer like: ‘But I live in the nice part.’Do you, though?Here are my favourite suburb deniers.<h3 data-block-key="acv8r">‘I don’t live in Queanbeyan, I live in Jerrabomberra.’</h3><img alt="200121_Jerrabomberra-1-1-810x540" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/200121_Jerrabomberra-1-1-810x540.width-800.jpg" width="800">In Queanbeyan, we affectionately refer to Jerrabomberra as ‘Queanbeyan Heights’. Okay, so you have a different postcode but you&#x27;re still the same as us: just in nicer cars.

Gleneagles Estate. Made up of just 57 properties facing and surrounding the Murrumbidgee Country Club, the exclusive estate was built off Kambah Pool Road and was Canberra’s first prestigious golf club estate.<img alt="Gleneagles ad" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1137" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Gleneagles_ad.width-800.png" width="471">The marketing of the estate in the early 1990s promised you could ‘Sink a few before dinner’ and opt to have a spa in your ensuite.

Hawker is a coveted location, thanks to the suburb’s incredibly central location and its proximity to both suburban and cosmopolitan shopping centres (aka Hawker Shops and Belco Mall).The views from the top of Hawker are pretty spectacular though, so I understand why you’d pay a premium to live up there.<h3 data-block-key="4fhmh">‘We just bought at Golf Course Estate, it’s not really classed as Ngunnawal.’</h3><img alt="The Golf Course Estate Ngunnawalo" class="richtext-image full-width" height="282" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/The_Golf_Course_Estate_Ngunnawalo.width-800.png" width="800">Actually, yes. Yes it is.Firstly, welcome to the estate no-one could be bothered naming. Secondly, who even knew this area existed in Canberra? Apparently, it’s a small row of houses facing Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club. And here I was thinking Harcourt Hill and Nicholls were the only posh areas on the north side.I hear (from JT at MARQ Property) that properties in Golf Course Estate are tightly held and only come up for sale very, very rarely.

Love a retro bathroom or kitchen? Here are 11 of Canberra's best

It started out as a one-woman force in Canberra’s deep south but now One Agency Sandy Morris has launched a new brand - and announced plans for significant growth.My Morris - headed up by Sandy - officially launches today, retaining its Kambah HQ and staff but with a reinvigorated vision for its role in the ACT. The agency is looking to grow its property management portfolio and annual sales figures, and will boost staff numbers by up to 50 per cent.<img alt="One Agency PRINT-1" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1200" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/One_Agency__PRINT-1.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The agency&#x27;s grown a lot since Sandy started it seven years ago,” sales consultant Zac Morris says.“We&#x27;ve grown to a size now where we want to head in our own direction, and have more control on what our messaging is, and how we present ourselves to the community.”Since hitting Tuggeranong mailboxes with a flier announcing her business in 2014, Sandy Morris has grown the agency to seven staff. The team now manages an ever expanding rent roll portfolie across the ACT and NSW and last year sold more than 130 homes. Tuggeranong is the agency’s heartland, and most My Morris staff members actually live in Kambah.“The reputation Sandy&#x27;s fostered on the sales side has seen the business snowball, growing exponentially to where we are today,” Zac says.<img alt="0W1A5931" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1200" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/0W1A5931.width-800.jpg" width="800">Excited by the agency’s plans for growth, Sandy will continue selling as well as being the agency principal.Equipped with a leading team of sales agents and property managers, My Morris is in active recruiting mode; looking to add to their experienced team.“We’re looking for people who align with what we&#x27;re trying to portray with our new brand,” Tahlia says.“Our brand will be fresh, new and vibrant, with an emphasis on boutique tailored service and exceptional digital and print marketing.“We are looking for people who are self-motivated, enthusiastic, professional and sensitive to our clients&#x27; needs. They’re the traits of our existing staff and we want to keep building on that.”<img alt="One Agency PRINT-3" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1200" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/One_Agency__PRINT-3.width-800.jpg" width="800">A brand new office could be on the cards - “Watch this space,” Zac says - and the team’s passion for south Canberra’s “proximity to nature, easy commute, stunning views of the Brindabellas” will be injected into everything the My Morris team does.“We&#x27;re excited because we&#x27;ve had these ideas on how we want to grow, how we want to present to the market and the service we want to provide our clients ,” Tahlia says.“And we&#x27;re going to do that now.&quot;

Welcome home to privacy and space in Kambah

While COVID-19 has now been with us for almost two laps around the sun, it still continues to throw curveballs making it hard to predict its impact when restrictions are imposed. Like with most industries, real estate agents in Canberra were uncertain how the most recent lockdown and related restrictions would impact the market. Would people buy homes sight unseen? Would buyers be happy to bid via online auction?For <a href="/agencies/ray-white/">Ray White Canberra</a> at least, the lockdown barely caused a blip on the radar for their sales. During the period, the team sold 99 homes to a total value of $92 million. Of the 99 sales, 85 were sold by auction, with a total clearance rate of 96.6%.These results even included a number of property records.Like for <a href="/agencies/ray-white/">Ray White Canberra</a> sales consultant and auctioneer <a href="/agents/troy-reddick/">Troy Reddick</a>, who set the new record in Macquarie, selling <a href="/sale/27-liverpool-street-macquarie-act-2614-46442/">27 Liverpool Street</a> for $1,730,000, a whopping $460,000 above the previous suburb record. The five bedroom home on a 1562sqm block is an entertainer’s delight, with an in-ground pool, a large undercover deck, multiple living areas and a separate studio.Just two days later, Troy and fellow <a href="/agencies/ray-white/">Ray White Canberra</a> agent <a href="/agents/leonie-mayberry/">Leonie Mayberry</a> set another record, this time in the suburb of Cook, when <a href="/sale/23-atkinson-street-cook-act-2614-47356/">23 Atkinson Street</a> sold for $1,550,000.<img alt="23 Atkinson Street COOK.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="534" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23_Atkinson_Street_COOK.width-800.png" width="800">Ray White Canberra agent <a href="/agents/cameron-6/">Cam Whitnall</a> also just set the sales record for Old Kambah with <a href="/sale/6-bowler-place-kambah-act-2902-47239/">6 Bowler Place</a>, selling it for $1,541,000 on October 14. The online auction had 24 registered bidders, which also set <a href="/agencies/ray-white/">Ray White Canberra</a>’s record for most bidders for an online auction during lockdown.Troy said the team didn’t expect such outstanding results. In fact, they expected quite the opposite.“We expected a drop in sales due to the challenges around showing homes and bringing properties to market. We have been surprised by the high level of purchaser confidence, which is evident by the number of established homes which were purchased completely site unseen,” says Troy.“We worked tirelessly at the beginning of lockdown to create a process that we believed would give buyers confidence to bid, as well as personalise the online experience. We have had great feedback that the process of bidding via our online auctions has been excellent for the customer, and this has in turn led to greater competition for our sellers with an average of 7.4 registered bidders per auction. We will look to continue with this process even after lockdown ends.”<img alt="6 Bowler Place KAMBAH.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6_Bowler_Place_KAMBAH.width-800.png" width="800">For all of the properties, the agents were heavily reliant on digital marketing.“Virtually all of our listings are now relying on Zango our as major portal, including the two suburb record sales last week. Our enquiry levels have never been better and our strong results are proving this. Owners are thrilled with the sale prices and the savings in advertising,” says Troy.While restrictions are easing in Canberra, the next potential challenge for the property market is the upcoming Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) changes to lending criteria to ensure buyers now have a bigger buffer against potential interest rate rises.The changes may mean buyers will have a reduced borrowing capacity, which has the potential to impact property prices, but Troy says they don’t expect a massive impact on the market in Canberra.“The ACT continues to record the lowest unemployment and the strongest household wages of any of the capital cities, so I expect any impact in house prices will be minimal,” says Troy.

Lockdown doesn’t slow sales, or new records, for Ray White Canberra

As your last holiday recedes further and further in the rearview mirror, a suburban home that feels just like a resort might be exactly what you need.The impeccably finished <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-bowler-place-kambah-act-2902-47239/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">6 Bowler Place</a> in Kambah takes the notion of an entertainers’ paradise to the next level.With two decades of experience in the real estate industry, <a href="/real-estate-offices/ray-white/">Ray White Canberra</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/cameron-whitnall/">Cameron Whitnall</a> says it’s rare to see a home with such high-quality finishes.<img alt="6-Bowler-1.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-Bowler-1.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It was built in 2018 by Gr8 Constructions, and honestly, the quality is just unbelievable – it’s really an exceptional home,” he said.From the street view, it’s clear that this is a home on which no expense has been spared, with stunning finishes on the facade making it a standout in the street.Upon entering, that impression is only likely to become stronger.Open-plan, relaxed family-living is the priority here, with gorgeous appliances and clean and bright living the order of the day.<img alt="6-Bowler-4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-Bowler-4.width-800.jpg" width="800">A separate butler’s pantry attached to the kitchen is another fancy finish worth noting.“It’s only fair to describe this home as a masterpiece, all centred around that wide-open kitchen, living and dining area that flows onto the outdoor resort-style back garden,” Cameron said.After all, you’re unlikely to have a tropical escape anytime soon, and with this home, you’re unlikely to need one.<img alt="6-Bowler-10.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-Bowler-10.width-800.jpg" width="800">The outdoor area allows for superb alfresco entertaining with a BBQ kitchen, pizza oven and fireplace, and you can enjoy your leisure time more than ever before with a fabulous eight-metre solar heated plunge pool.The property also boasts a separate lounge or media room that allows parents to have a much-needed (albeit occasional) break from the kids.“It’s a clever and family-friendly floorplan with the segregated master to the rear and the front wing incorporating three further bedrooms which share a sitting area and luxury bathroom,” Cameron explained.<img alt="6-Bowler-8.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-Bowler-8.width-800.jpg" width="800">As for the practicalities, the home boasts extensive storage throughout, a stylish laundry and energy-efficient solar panels, as well as internal home entry via an oversized double garage, again replete with storage.Other modern features worth noting are the gas fireplace, ducted heating/cooling, ceiling fans and double-glazed windows throughout.Location-wise, it’s situated on a quiet, well-maintained cul-de-sac within minutes of well-regarded schools and lifestyle amenities such as parks, shops and more.<img alt="6-Bowler-5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-Bowler-5.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The home has been well-received by the market already and I do expect this to continue,” Cameron said.One-on-one house inspections are currently permitted in the ACT subject to strict COVID-19 requirements being met.To learn more about the luxurious <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-bowler-place-kambah-act-2902-47239/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">6 Bowler Place</a> in Kambah or organise a virtual inspection, contact real estate agent <a href="/agents/cameron-6/">Cameron Whitnall</a> on 0418 624 913.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/live-in-this-luxury-entertainers-paradise-in-the-burbs-and-youll-never-need-to-go-on-holiday-again/497111" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>*As the current COVID situation continues to develop, one certainty is that along with our local ACT and NSW agent communities, Zango is committed to continue connecting people with places safely.
