- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, Cam, we have a very, very special Property of
- 0:03Speaker 1: the Week for you today. It's in Amaru, 37 Sandover
- 0:07Speaker 1: Circuit in Amaru.
- 0:09Speaker 2: I know when you say, look, so that's a sort
- 0:11Speaker 2: of sentence that doesn't really work on most occasions. Why?
- 0:16Speaker 2: We've got friends in Amaru and so I'm having a
- 0:18Speaker 2: direct crack at.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Them, right? Gotcha.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Okay, I see.
- 0:21Speaker 2: But this place, like this is, it's next level, isn't it?
- 0:25Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really cool. And I like to go for
- 0:27Speaker 1: my little snail paste jogs, you know, around the pond.
- 0:30Speaker 1: And you go past this one?
- 0:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:32Speaker 1: I was trying to place in my mind where it
- 0:33Speaker 1: is and I think I know where it is, but
- 0:35Speaker 1: there's some really cool homes just on the edge of
- 0:38Speaker 1: the pond there. And Peter Walker is sales consultant at
- 0:41Speaker 1: Ray White selling this one. Peter, good morning.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Hey, how are you going? Good. Thanks for your time
- 0:46Speaker 3: this morning. Was that deliberate, having in the summertime before
- 0:51Speaker 3: this property? Yes. Because I'm thinking I should be playing
- 0:53Speaker 3: at the open homes.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Yes, well, you're welcome. We're always here for music suggestions,
- 0:59Speaker 1: you know, for you to play at your open homes,
- 1:01Speaker 1: you know, absolutely.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Love it.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Peter, before we get into it, we just want to
- 1:05Speaker 1: say a very quick congratulations to you because you won
- 1:07Speaker 1: an award recently, the React President's Award, which is very cool.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. No, it was, well, I actually took
- 1:18Speaker 3: out an article in City News just thanking all the
- 1:20Speaker 3: people that helped me across my career because I was
- 1:23Speaker 3: fortunate enough to win it for the second time, which
- 1:25Speaker 3: is pretty hard to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's awesome.
- 1:28Speaker 2: All right, and I know there was a lot of
- 1:29Speaker 2: people very happy that you did take that out. All right,
- 1:32Speaker 2: 37 Sandover Circuit in Amaru. Mate, give us the picture
- 1:37Speaker 2: of this beautiful property because this is one that, this
- 1:39Speaker 2: sort of place doesn't come up very often, does it?
- 1:41Speaker 3: No. Yeah, look, I had said to you, I've put
- 1:45Speaker 3: it in the top three homes that I've ever sold
- 1:47Speaker 3: in 39 years. Just the rarity in the ACT being
- 1:53Speaker 3: overlooked the water. You're also very convenient to the Gungahlin
- 1:58Speaker 3: Town Centre. But, Renee, coming back to your point, the
- 2:00Speaker 3: thing that's nice about it, you've got this expensive view,
- 2:02Speaker 3: but for the people, you've got a lot of traffic
- 2:04Speaker 3: going past. Very hard for them to see, like it's
- 2:07Speaker 3: extremely private here. Yes. Because you can't look up and
- 2:10Speaker 3: look into the home. So that's a real, real strong
- 2:13Speaker 3: selling point. But four bedrooms, study, two en-suites, four bathrooms
- 2:18Speaker 3: all up. It's got a pool house with an en-suite
- 2:21Speaker 3: in it and, you know, with the parents' retreat and
- 2:24Speaker 3: the balcony and that, all stuff that you often think
- 2:26Speaker 3: just reserved for lifestyles of the rich and famous.
- 2:29Speaker 2: There's two parts that pop out for me and you've
- 2:32Speaker 2: just mentioned it there. So that parents to retreat, that
- 2:34Speaker 2: sort of porch area up in between the two main
- 2:37Speaker 2: bedrooms on the upper level that looks then over the pond.
- 2:40Speaker 2: But also in the pictures on the website, you have,
- 2:43Speaker 2: you know, the current vendors have got bar stools and
- 2:45Speaker 2: a bar table and it's sort of sit, it's plonked
- 2:48Speaker 2: there where you can be sitting overlooking the pool then
- 2:51Speaker 2: onto Yerby Pond.
- 2:52Speaker 1: With a beer?
- 2:53Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Or a glass of wine.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Yeah, which is perfect. And Peter, I love that you
- 2:57Speaker 1: mentioned the privacy of it because I've, live near there.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I've been around the pond many, many, many times and
- 3:02Speaker 1: I couldn't fully place in my mind where it was,
- 3:05Speaker 1: but I guess that's because, like you say, it is
- 3:07Speaker 1: so private. However, whoever lives there gets the benefit of
- 3:12Speaker 1: those views though.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Yes, we're actually putting signs up on Tuesday at the
- 3:17Speaker 3: front and back because we feel it's going to be
- 3:20Speaker 3: very hard for people to know where it is if
- 3:22Speaker 3: they go on the street, where it is for that reason.
- 3:25Speaker 3: It's just quite discreet, so it's a nice point.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Okay, so you mentioned 39 years of selling property. This
- 3:33Speaker 2: is one of the top three. As you walked through,
- 3:36Speaker 2: what made it part of the top three for you?
- 3:40Speaker 3: Look, I think... Firstly, that entrance hall, just the availability
- 3:45Speaker 3: of those lake views. It's one thing to be on
- 3:47Speaker 3: a lake, but to be able to have the immediacy
- 3:50Speaker 3: of that views, it's just instantly impressive. You've got these
- 3:54Speaker 3: massive windows or walls of windows that overlook the pool
- 3:58Speaker 3: area onto the lake. So that's the thing. But also
- 4:01Speaker 3: that sense of space and light that filters into the home.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Incredibly well-designed home, probably one of the smartest designed homes
- 4:09Speaker 3: when it comes to relationship between indoors and outdoors and
- 4:12Speaker 3: taking advantage of that secluded setting, but that great view
- 4:17Speaker 3: opposite the lake. Design features are really clever. Renee, none
- 4:22Speaker 3: of the bedrooms have adjoining walls to each other. They're
- 4:25Speaker 3: all separated by either a study or something else. So
- 4:29Speaker 3: the four bedrooms all have their own privacy and isolation
- 4:32Speaker 3: from each other. downstairs cellar. You've got an extra large
- 4:37Speaker 3: double garage. You could probably fit three cars in there,
- 4:40Speaker 3: but we said double because one would be sort of
- 4:43Speaker 3: in a tandem arrangement. And just the relationship with the pool,
- 4:47Speaker 3: you can see the pool from pretty much any of
- 4:50Speaker 3: the east-facing parts of the homes, and it's really private.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's perfect. Ticks all the boxes, that's for sure.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And when you mentioned the cellar, the smile on Cam's
- 4:58Speaker 1: face just got that little bit bigger. Peter, all right,
- 5:02Speaker 1: just very quickly, when can people come and check it out?
- 5:04Speaker 3: Okay, so our first open home is this Thursday, the 17th,
- 5:10Speaker 3: which will be from 5 to 5.45, and then next
- 5:13Speaker 3: Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 12.30.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Okay, people definitely need to come and have a look,
- 5:20Speaker 1: that's for sure. And if you see me jogging past.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Call out.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Pick up your pace, Rene. Get it going. All right, Peter,
- 5:26Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time. We're very interested
- 5:29Speaker 1: to see how this goes. Thanks very much.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Really grateful for the opportunity. Thanks so much.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Thank you. Peter Walker, sales consultant at Ray White.
