“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>.

It’s a lovely story from what was a really hard time.”<img alt="137-hawkesbury-crescent-farrer-act-2607-83366-image-0-20230719224645880917-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/137-hawkesbury-crescent-farrer-act-2607-83366-.width-800_w9ZEElj.jpg" width="800">Built in the 1970s, the home had been extensively modernised by the previous owners, with luxury details including engineered timber floors, LED lights throughout and hydronic heating.The ‘undeground’ level of the home includes The Hawkesbury Wine Tasting Room, a gym, a rumpus room and triple garage with mechanics’ car pit.<img alt="137-hawkesbury-crescent-farrer-act-2607-83366-image-0-20230719224644176532-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/137-hawkesbury-crescent-farrer-act-2607-83366-.width-800_TS1s535.jpg" width="800">“It was a home that ticked every single box,” Sophie says.“It wasn’t one thing that sold the property it was a combination of many things: it backs onto a reserve, has incredible views, is on a huge block and the home is spacious.“The former owners have loved living there and are so thrilled another young family is moving in.”<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/137-hawkesbury-crescent-farrer-act-2607-83366/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the original listing.</a>
