  Speaker 2: Your next chapter starts now. At Deberg by JW Land.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: And this morning we're here at the Red Shed Black
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Mountain Peninsula. This is a massive, massive regatta festival. Everyone's invited.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: It's the Golden Ore Canberra's world-class festival.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Come down. It's free. It's free.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: There's stuff for the kids. There's absolutely everything here. A
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: gazillion food trucks. It's fantastic.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: All right, Cam.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Well, it is time for our property of the week,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: 71 Negus Crescent in Watson. And it is a certain
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: A special someone's house that is being sold. Tom Starling
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: from the Raiders, we can say that. He's selling his
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: house in Watson. And Adam Morgan is the agent from
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: AM Property Group. Adam, good morning.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Renee. Good morning, Cam.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Tell us about this cracking place in Watson.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It's awesome, isn't it?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a very cool home. So Tom Starling obviously
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: owns the home, but he's moving to England to continue
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: his rugby league career. And, yeah, it's a pretty special home.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: It's incredibly bold, ultra-contemporary. It's two storeys. It's at the
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: top of Watson there. It's got panoramic views over Parkland
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: and through to the Brindabellas. It's only a five-year-old home.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: It's made from some pretty unique architectural features, including Canberra
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: red bricks, polished concrete floors, and beautiful timber accents on
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: the outside of the home.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: That was the first thing when I saw it, when
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I saw the first big picture, it's like, oh, that's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of Canberra Reds right there. And they
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: just make the property look like something really special, don't they?
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it really does. It really, you know, lends a
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: new home to old Canberra and just blends in with
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the country environment.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and tell us about some other parts of the home. Like,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: what is your favourite part, Adam?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Well, it'd have to be when you come in. It's ultra-contemporary,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: but it's the polished concrete floors. It's under slab heating.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: So you come in, it's open plan. There's feature walls
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: with timber red brick, but it's just the way the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: home sort of works. You've got bedrooms downstairs, the main
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: bedroom upstairs. You've got floating timber stairs, and then you've
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: got this beautiful home office that features those panoramic views
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: and an outdoor balcony to just look out over Canberra.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Lovely.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I would imagine you've had some people through as well.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: What are some of the things that you're hearing them
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: talk about as they wander through and have a look?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like we've always got plenty of interest when you've
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: got these inner north properties. So we opened last weekend
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: for the first weekend. Plenty of people came through and, yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: they're just sort of taken aback with the design, the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: quality of the build, and then just the location. It's
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: at the very top of Watson and sort of sits
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: perched up there with this great vantage spot, all while
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: being able to walk straight up Mount Madura. That can
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and do you find it creates that little extra
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: bit of interest because it is Tom Starling's house?
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, for sure. You know, he was an absolute gun
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: for the Raiders and spent plenty of years here serving
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the team. And the fact that it's a Canberra Raiders home,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: he loved it. He's lived in it since it was
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: brand new and he never wanted to sell the home.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: But because he's taken off to England, it's just by
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: chance it's come on the market. Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. And it can be a transient career. Of course,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we know that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, let's have a look at the list
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of Raiders homes that we have sold over the years.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Renee, we've got Jarrett Croker.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Ingi Relang.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, Josh Papali'i.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You know that house with the massive sandpit and cubby
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: house out the back?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'd forgotten about his one.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We had Emery Goula in Braddon there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Well, we can now add Tom Starling to the list
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and who knows who will be next.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And am I right in saying, Adam, that I was
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: looking at the photos, is it opposite a reserve or
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: some bushland or something there? Yeah, it is.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: So it's sort of at the top of Watson there,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: just near Mount Madura, but then it's also directly opposite
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: to this bushland. So your views are sort of straight
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: out over, you know, the best Canberra has to offer
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and over towards Dixon and the Brindabellas.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yep, beautiful.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And when can people come and.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Have a look?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Well, we're open today, 11 o'clock. We've got the option
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: as well coming up on the 14th of November, 11.30
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: on site. But, yeah, we're there today in about an
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: hour's time, so please come on and visit.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Beauty. Yep, people definitely should do that. Adam, thank you
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: so much for your time this morning.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Thanks, guys.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Renee. Thanks, Sam.
