  Speaker 1: Well, our Property of the Week today, Cam, is an
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: absolute stunner in Deakin, 21 Lawley Street to be exact.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: And Josh Morrissey, Director at Hive Property, is the selling
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: agent of this one. Josh, good morning.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: G'day, guys. How are you going?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Good. Now, look, thank you so much for joining us.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: This place in Deakin is spectacular, to say the least.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Tell us a bit about it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, look, it is. Very special homes, designed
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: by Paul Tills. It's built by the 2026 HIA Award winner,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Status Living. It's just under 1,000 squares north-facing. Big five-beddy
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: family home pool, huge backyard, ideal family home.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you've been through plenty of stunning properties in
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: your time. When you walked through this one for the
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: first time, what popped for you?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: All of it, I think. The main thing is probably
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the outdoor area. I've got kids myself. I've got seven, five,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and two, and I just pictured my own kids running
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: around and enjoying it. So I definitely think just the kitchen, living, dining,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I think the sheer scale of it. and the pool
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: area and the huge backyard. It's really hard and rare
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to find a brand-new home in the inner south with
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: such a large yard area, and that's probably the thing
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that appeals to me the most.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: As we're speaking, I've got one big computer here, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: it's open, and so it's got the web page open,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and it is on that page where you're looking back
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: over the backyard into the outdoor area and the back
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: of the house where you can see the pool. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I said to Renee just before we went to air,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: The backyard is huge. Unbelievable.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Josh, like you said before, you don't really get that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in a lot of new homes these.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Days, do you? No, you don't. And I think, look,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the big design consensus with this was just make everything bigger.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The rooms are all huge. All the kids' bedrooms are
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the size of vases. The living is huge. The formal
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: living is huge. The outdoor space is huge. The pool
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: is huge. It's just an awesome family home. Enough space
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to grow into and stay for a while.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And the sort of architectural design and elements to this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: are really special as well. Makes it really unique.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It does. That's what Paul Tilsey is known for.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So Paul was selected for that fact. He's renowned for
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: his sleep lines and timeless designs, I think. He's a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: very highly regarded architect for that reason. And Status Living,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: who are, in my opinion, one of, I would say,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the best builders in the ACT, they take out the H.I.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Awards nearly every year and for good reason. So the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: finishing level on the home is exceptional.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I said to Renee that this is one of the houses,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: so I love it. There's lots of square angles and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: straight lines, so I'm in on this one straight away.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: But I said to Renee, this is the sort of house,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: when you look at the pictures, it could be on
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the front cover of like a Vogue living style magazine.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Very much, very much. And you know what? It's still warm.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You know, I think when you walk in there, the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: palette's warm. It is neutral. The whole, it took two
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: years to find that block because it's perfectly nor'east. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the whole long side of that block gets north sun
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: all day. So that kitchen, living, dining pool, backyard area,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: backyard cricket, it's always going to have sun. So it
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: feels good too when you're in it, which is nice.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And even just this photo I've got up in front
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of me here, Josh, of the bath, looking to the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: beautiful area outside and that big window there, that's awesome too,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: isn't it?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It is, yeah. Just bring a bit of the outside
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in and obviously no one's going to be looking back
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: at you because you've got a huge hedge there too.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So you can bath with full confidence that no one's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: going to be looking back at you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I did wonder about that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: It's good for everyone.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And when can people come and have a look, Josh?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'm there tomorrow, 1 to 1.45pm for 45 minutes.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, people definitely need to go along and check it out.
• 3:30
