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. You pay your rates to Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, and you shop at our Kmart, Chemist Warehouse and Spotlight!Aaaand you have your babies at Queanbeyan District Hospital! Baby Queanbeyanites right there!<h3 data-block-key="ci1r1">‘I don’t live in Kambah, I live at Gleneagles.’</h3><img alt="Gleneagles estate" class="richtext-image full-width" height="270" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Gleneagles_estate.width-800.png" width="800">Where do Kambah residents go to live when they’ve officially ‘made it’? 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. Fancy.<h3 data-block-key="3ha2r">‘I live in Hawker, but at the top of the hill.’</h3><figure><img alt="28-marrakai-street-hawker-act-2614-72360-image-0-20221215020139544614-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width captioned" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/28-marrakai-street-hawker-act-2614-72360-image.width-800.jpg" width="800"><figcaption>28-marrakai-street-hawker-act-2614-72360-image-0-20221215020139544614-thumbnail-1920x1920-70</figcaption></figure>This home &#x27;on the hill&#x27; in Marrakai Street, Hawker, sold for $2.13 million.I’ve got news for you: the houses at the bottom of the hill are pretty expensive too.My best friend Emma lives at the bottom of the hill, and she’s one of the poshest people I know. 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.

With a striking street presence, <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/alec-brown/">Alec Brown</a> describes the proportions of the 20-year-old home as &quot;amazing&quot;.“The owners were really clever regarding the use of space with this home as they’ve ensured that all family members have privacy,” Alec says.<img alt="5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image-0-20220926000249505840-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image.width-800_AxnlWEE.jpg" width="800">“It’s also got a low-maintenance backyard with an easy-care private entertaining area and plenty of space for family gatherings.”Alec says the grand entrance of the home, featuring a wooden-framed staircase, defines the idea that the home ‘spears off’ in different directions.“From the minute you pass the entryway, you’ll see that the property is divided into different sections,” he says.<img alt="5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image-0-20220926000248960433-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Right next to the entrance is the formal lounge room, the first of four different living spaces on offer, which is tucked away at the front of the home.“The grand staircase has a lovely void in the middle, giving you that sense of space in the two-storey home. There&#x27;s also a separate study and a sixth bedroom or home office option, with its own powder room too.”The Hawker home features a sunken formal lounge room with bay window and sunken formal dining room with adjoining wine cellar.<img alt="5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image-0-20220926000244932215-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image.width-800_5Tmt3T8.jpg" width="800">The open-plan family, meals and kitchen area is at the heart of the home.“The thing that struck me the most in the kitchen is the feature joinery,” Alec says.“There’s a lot of display space and well-lit areas where the glass shelves and cupboards feel quite homely.“The owners have been really strategic about the design, making sure the open kitchen space can cater to those that want to cook but still interact with family and friends.”<img alt="5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image-0-20220926000255111248-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image.width-800_IcgrZeN.jpg" width="800">Alec says all six bedrooms have been well maintained and are generous.“When the owners met with the architect and designer, the plan was to make the home comfortable for a large number of people, and by having the open living spaces and segregated rooms, they’ve achieved that.&quot;The bedrooms upstairs have been laid out as a three-way arrangement to connect to the bathroom, which includes a separate toilet, separate vanity space, spa bath and shower. Downstairs, is an additional third ensuite, tucked away off the laundry.<img alt="5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image-0-20220926000257931334-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image.width-800_V7P2GVG.jpg" width="800">Set on a massive 1035sqm block, the grounds feature established gardens with well-maintained hedging.“It’s got an enormous covered pergola that’s perfect for entertaining, as well as a separate courtyard,” Alec says.“The gardens are pretty easy care and feature an artificial lawn. There’s also a wonderful veggie garden towards the side that’s concealed.“Another key element that catches buyers’ eyes is the large, eight-seater spa.”<img alt="5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image-0-20220926000258697357-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-tobermorey-place-hawker-act-2614-66278-image.width-800_087L9P0.jpg" width="800">As well as a well-maintained alfresco, the home features an oversized double garage, reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans and underfloor heating.Alec says although Hawker is a beautiful suburb that’s renowned for its large blocks, what makes this home a little more special is its location: next to local shops, schools, cafes and restaurants.“You’ve got the nature reserve right next to the suburb too, and you’re not too far off from the CBD, which is a bonus,&quot; he says.“There’s just a lot of flexibility with this home, and we’ve seen an interest, not just from larger families but blended families that are looking to upsize for future kids or create a multi-generational living space.”The home at 5 Tobermorey Place, Hawker, will be auctioned at 5.30pm on Friday 7 October 2022.<a href="/agents/alec-brown/">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/fabulous-family-sanctuary-with-limitless-space-for-entertaining-in-hawker/595183" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct</a>.
