Selling agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/jess-smith-3/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jess Smith</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/stone/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stone Gungahlin</a> says it’s a stand-out property.“I think it’s one of the best built homes in Harrison,” she says.“Before you even walk in, you’re captivated by the beautiful architecture and how well the home is positioned on the block.“It was designed by the current owners specifically to take advantage of the bush views that wrap around the front of the house.”<img alt="23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-image-0-20220521071651063720-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-.width-800.jpg" width="800">Jess says it’s breathtaking as soon as you walk through the front door.“It’s an incredible home inside and out,” she says.“Once you get inside, you can see the attention to detail in the inclusions, the construction and how the home has been designed to bring the natural light inside.“Huge picture windows bring the outside in and you can see views of the reserve from almost every room.”<img alt="23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-image-0-20220521071651664183-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-.width-800_W6Q8FtE.jpg" width="800">Designed over three levels with a family in mind, the home boasts four large bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite, an office, and a vast basement.It features sprawling formal and casual living areas, loads of storage space and an oversized double garage.Jess says the formal lounge room at the front of the home &quot;packs a punch&quot;, with a curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.“It’s a gorgeous light-filled room and feels really cosy with the gas fireplace and brick feature wall,” she says.“Then you walk through into the huge open-plan kitchen, meals and family room which is so bright and airy with big windows and high raked ceilings.”<img alt="23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-image-0-20220521071649430312-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-.width-800_wMBIlMQ.jpg" width="800">Sitting on a 600sqm block, this home offers an incredible 415sqm of living space.On the ground level, the kitchen boasts high-end appliances, including a 900 mm Smeg free-standing cooker, Caesarstone benchtops, soft close drawers and a butler’s pantry.The open plan meals area and spacious family room open out onto a private alfresco dining area overlooking the nature reserve and bike paths. There is also a separate dining room for formal dinner parties.“There’s so much room for a large family or entertaining in this home,” Jess says.“Whether it’s reading a book in the cosy front lounge room, having a barbie on the deck or hosting a dinner party in the formal dining room, the home is perfect for a good time or some quiet time.”<img alt="23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-image-0-20220521071654365894-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-.width-800_c0set8g.jpg" width="800">Upstairs, Jess says the east-facing master bedroom is an oasis for parents, with another wall of curved glass capturing the views beyond the reserve to farmland, Mount Majura, Mount Ainslie and Parliament House.“It’s a grand space, with a sitting area, private study, huge walk-in robe and luxe ensuite,” she says.“With more and more people working from home, it’s great to have the office upstairs off the bedroom away from the busy family areas downstairs.“The master bedroom opens out onto its own balcony, the perfect place to sit with a coffee in the morning sun and soak in those panoramic views.”<img alt="23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-image-0-20220521071648772365-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-.width-800_sZ34hkA.jpg" width="800">The basement is currently home to a wine cellar and home theatre but could be transformed into a studio, workshop or home gym.“It’s such a great space and there’s really no limit to what you could do with it,” Jess says.The massive 67sqm garage has access to the backyard and is ideal for storing all the bikes and scooters – and also has space for a workshop.The private backyard is fully enclosed, but Jess says, with direct access to the reserve and bike paths, the kids will spend most of their time in the reserve.“The kids can play in the reserve without having to cross a road,” she adds.<img alt="23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-image-0-20220521071648392351-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838-.width-800_4qSh0rG.jpg" width="800">The double brick home is comfortable all year-round thanks to ducted air conditioning, in-slab heating over nine zones, double-glazed windows and is also solar passive, making the most of its north-facing aspect.Conveniently located within walking distance to Harrison High School, the soon-to-be-built Kenny (East Gungahlin) High School, playing fields, and a range of eateries, supermarkets and health clinics.To arrange an inspection of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/23-turtle-rock-street-harrison-act-2914-55838/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">23 Turtle Rock Street</a> in Harrison, contact Jess Smith at Stone Gungahlin on 0410 125 475.Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/grand-harrison-home-enveloped-by-historic-well-station-reserve/558754" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct</a>.

Grand Harrison home enveloped by historic Well Station reserve

News

For some, the thought of buying a pair of shoes or a piece of furniture just from seeing a photo online is daunting enough. So imagine buying a house without ever stepping foot inside.During lockdown, buyers have been restricted to searching and buying property virtually, with both in-person property inspections and on-site auctions paused in both the ACT and NSW. But that hasn’t slowed down the hot property market in the Canberra region, with sales continuing despite many never having stepped foot in the property they’re buying. In fact some have even still been snapped up before auction.Many agents were initially unsure how restrictions would affect sales. For <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/justin-taylor/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Justin Taylor</a> from McGrath selling <a href="/sale/33-katoomba-street-harrison-act-2914-45728/">33 Katoomba Street, Harrison</a>, they had one open home before lockdown came in, and had to change the scheduled auction from in-person to online.“We had 27 registered bidders for the online auction of which only seven of the registered bidders had actually viewed the property in person,” says Justin.With another sale of <a href="/sale/13-auburn-street-amaroo-act-2914-19069/">13 Auburn Street, Amaroo</a>, they didn’t even have to go to auction.<img alt="IMG_8669.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="674" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_8669.width-800.jpg" width="750">“The most notable lockdown sale for myself and <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/dimi-romero/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dimi Romero</a> is <a href="/sale/13-auburn-street-amaroo-act-2914-19069/">13 Auburn Street, Amaroo</a>. We sold this property pre-Auction after only 14 days on the market for $1.1million, well in excess of the sellers’ expectations,” says Justin.“We had zero open homes, zero Inspections, approximately 75 enquiries via email and phone, and multiple offers were received.”Without open homes or even private inspections allowed, agents have been relying predominantly on technology to help potential buyers feel like they’ve walked through the home, without ever actually stepping foot inside. This usually involved obtaining video footage of walking through the home, either getting it themselves in-line with government restrictions, or even relying on vendors to shoot the footage themselves.<img alt="Justin Taylor &amp; Dimi Romero McGrath" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/justin_dimi_article.width-800.png" width="800">For both the Amaroo and Harrison properties, Justin was able to attend himself and do thorough video walk-throughs, adding his own basic commentary about the features, inclusions and overall condition both inside and outside the property. He then sent through the footage to any potential buyers who contacted him.“I personally want all of my buyers to be thrilled with the property they have purchased, and not to be disappointed at all, hence why I really go out of my way to capture as much detail about the property as possible with the iphone video footage and virtual walk through.”<img alt="dimi_article.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/dimi_article.width-800.png" width="800">And while attending house auctions online via video link would have been new for most, Justin says that hasn’t restricted numbers—in fact it’s had the opposite effect.“We are finding that the number of registered bidders for all of our online auctions is approximately double that of our normal numbers. We have been averaging around 15 to 16 registered bidders per online auction, and for the Harrison property we had 27. Normally we would average around seven or eight registered bidders for on-site auctions,” says Justin.“We are also noticing that the number of interested parties logging on to view each auction is averaging in excess of 100 people. Again, probably double that of a normal auction.”While lockdown was extended for four weeks in the ACT, <a href="/news/lockdown-extended-but-private-real-estate-inspections-now-permitted-in-canberra/">restrictions have eased allowed in-person inspections by private appointment to go ahead from this weekend</a>.

When Nicola and John Brady set up their real estate business, they never imagined that 20 years later they would be running a family-led business in <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/bungendore-nsw-2621/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bungendore</a> and <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/harrison-act-2914/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Harrison</a>.“We have grown from a small family business in Bungendore to an all-family led boutique business that is very much focused on clients,” said <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/nicola-brady/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nicola Brady.</a><img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_Brady.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_Br.width-800_1xjQ8qK.jpg" width="800">And Nicola is right about the boutique agency growing – with two offices spread across ACT and NSW and each family member playing their own part in the business.“John does rural, I do Bungendore village, Ebony does apartments…and Allara does overall property management,” said Nicola.“Even when the kids were little, they have always been involved from day dot with the cleaning or the filing.”“It was never presumed that the kids were every going to work in the business but they have been immersed since working here part-time and then to full-time work”.Nicola Brady said that while <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/bradys-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bradys Real Estate</a> continuous to grow beyond expectations, it has always retained the same family feel from the beginning.“We just love our work and it has always been that way”, said Nicola.“At dinner we do talk about real estate…we’ve just always had each other’s backs and never miss calls or appointments with each other”.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_iUZuvtw.jpg" width="800">Having a real estate background for the past 35 years has served Nicola well. These days, she knows the ins and outs of the Canberra and Bungendore real estate and is pretty good at picking up on recent trends in the market.“Lately, the trend in the last 10 years has been apartment living and they are only getting more resort like”, said Nicola.“While there is a trend for smaller gardens, we are also seeing a transition from smaller properties to rural living.”“This is what makes Canberra so great – we have a healthy mixture of larger and smaller blocks at our doorstop.”Nicola said the success of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/bradys-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bradys Real Estate</a> comes down to the defined roles each family member has and the willingness to help others.“We all know when to jump in and help each other when things are a bit busy or someone’s sick,” said Nicola.“We also just all love what we do so that passion certainly helps.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v23.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_Jdtx1x0.jpg" width="800">At the end of the day, it&#x27;s not just the Brady Bunch reference that makes <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/bradys-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bradys Real Estate</a> stand out from other boutique agencies.&quot;Yes it is true that we are often referred to as &#x27;the team&#x27; and the &#x27;Brady Bunch&#x27;, but I also know that vendors and landlords appreciate the level of detail we go to and the connections we have with owners and purchasers,&quot; said Nicola.Check out Bradys Real Estate <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/bradys-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> and all other listenings on <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zango</a>.
