  Speaker 1: Well, Cam, it is time for our Property of the Week.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: We're heading to Griffith today, and you know that when
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it is in Griffith, it's going to be pretty good.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Pretty good.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Top level, 34 Lockyer Street in Griffith, to be exact.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Adam Morgan is from AM Property Group, joins us now. Adam,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: good morning. How are you? Good, thanks, Renee. How are you?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Now, look, this place in Griffith is really special.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I've got notes. I've got several notes here because there's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: lots of cool things to mention, but you tell us
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: first about it when you walk in. What's it like?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Renee, it's a really special home. It was designed and
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: built for the builder and his own family. So it
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: has an enormous amount of thought that's gone into it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: It's brand new. It's five bedrooms on 918 metres. Oztel
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: were on the architecture. Belford built it. And that's designed
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on the interiors. It's size, quality, but it still feels
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: very much warm and like a family home.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: One of the things that stood out for me, Adam,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we just have to cut to the chase with this one.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: That green kitchen marble, which is also in a few
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: other spots in the house too, is beautiful.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of natural stone through the home.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So it's continued from the entry to the three bathrooms
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to the kitchen. It's actually called Esmeralda Quartzite. And then
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of travertine as well, all featured throughout
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the home.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really nice. And Cam, one photo that I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: saw that I thought you would have stopped and taken
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a hot second to look at?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Let me guess.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The wine cabinet.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I wrote that down because that photo online, Adam, of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the window or there into the wine storage, I knew
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that would have caught your eye, Ken.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So it's a showcase.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yes. And what have people been saying about it so far?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: People have been talking about the wine cellar. They're talking
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: about the connected living areas. It seamlessly blends into outdoor living,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: which has the pool and features back to the wine display.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But it's the architecture which really captures people. It handles
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the light and space. You've got ceilings approaching 4.2 metres
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and enormous expanses of glass. There's also landscape gardens bringing
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in light and greenery throughout the homes. And I've sold
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: homes for nearly 20 years and it gets hard to surprise,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: but this one really surprised me.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. And the bathrooms are really lush and schmick,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: aren't they?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, super schmick. Yeah, there was a lot of thought
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and detail that went into that home. And again, bringing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that stone through the bathrooms and, you know, just wide
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: open spaces. The en suite features this beautiful freestanding bath
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that also has a circular light well above it And
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it's almost like the bedrooms are built around this sort
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of mini indoor-outdoor atrium with green foliage there as well.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: It just adds to it. Yeah. So, again, the builder used–
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: he drew on his experience through years of building homes
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: throughout Canberra and he used Austal for the architecture I
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: mentioned earlier. He also used ALDA in Melbourne to do
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the landscape architecture and it was all about– cutting into
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the home so it all breathes with beautiful greenery and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: landscape gardens. Nice.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I noticed a lot of the curved edges,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: which we're seeing in a lot of, you know, newer
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: homes and renovations and stuff these days, Adam. But the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: garage is also cool. Has it got that extra area
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at the back of it?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It does. Yeah, so, yeah, triple garage at 64 metres. Yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: really designed around making sure that there's not just space
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in the home but, you know, space for storage or
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the weekend car as well. Yep, gotcha.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And when can people come and have a look at
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: all these cool things themselves?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm actually here now getting ready. We've got the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: open home at 10.15 to 11 o'clock today on this
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: rainy long weekend. But we are here and the home
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is open and everyone's welcome to come.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, all we'll say to that is please take
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: your shoes off neatly out the front, people. As you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: go in, it is wet, but still a great day
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to go and have a squiz. Adam, thank you so
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: much for your time this morning.
