  Speaker 1: Well, Cam, it's time for our Property of the Week.
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We're heading to 40 Masson Street in Turner. Now, I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, but when I flick through the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: pics of this one online, I I've got lots of questions.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I always take notes. I've got to ask about this,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: got to ask about this because there's so much to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: this place.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I usually, the way that I do it is I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: will go onto the website and I'll let each picture
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: sit for a couple of moments so I can take
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: it all in. Yes. So I did that with this
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: particular property as well.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: But then I went round again and I had a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: look at all the pictures again because it's just like,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Is that what I really saw?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And I had to go back to some of them
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: as well just to be like, is that what I thought?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And there's other bits, and we'll no doubt touch on
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: this very quickly in the interview, that you go... What
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: exactly is that?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And what is that used for? But it's really cool.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We just need to learn more. Chris Wilson from Ray
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: White is the selling agent. He joins us. Chris, good morning.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: How are you? Well, thanks. How are you both?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Now, look, this place, it has so much character. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: super unique and quirky as well is one of the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: words I've got written down here. Tell us all about it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a fantastic offering, and I'm really proud to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: be the selling agent. Yes, it's a home that's been
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: extended back in 2016, and it's a very well-known home
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: in the area. People know it as the Lego home,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and that's due to some Lego being featured in the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: letterbox and the driveway and a few other things. hidden
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: spots around the property. But from the front, it doesn't
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: do it justice until you get inside. And Eden's just
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: a stunning home. It's large, it's spacious. And it offers
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of variety for people that, you know, if
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: you're looking for extended living with family, it's got an
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: attached two-bedroom flat, which is fully self-contained. And then the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: house itself, if you just use, you know, separating that,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: it's just a large, you know, four-bedroom home also with
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: two bathrooms and large open-plan living areas that open out
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: to the backyard.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And speaking of the backyard, when I was looking through
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the photos, I thought, what's that red and blue? Are
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they out the back, like cubby houses initially before I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: looked properly? And I was like, no, tell us what
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great question. So they're two separate studios, fully lined
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and insulated and air-conditioned. And one's got a music setup
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in there at the moment and the other one's got
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: an eight-system bunking setup, which could be shelving. So if
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you've got kids that want to have friends stay over, well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: you can just kick them out the back and they
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: can make as much racket as they want and they
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: won't annoy you at all. But, yeah, so two fully
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: separate studios.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I feel as though we need to circle back to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the Lego conversation because I'm looking at the front page
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of the website right now for this property and you're right,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you can see it in the letterbox and it looks
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: like they're Canberra Reds for the actual bricks, but then
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: there are full size Lego style.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Bricks as well. Yes. Yes, they are. And, I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: they've bricked them together or cemented them together. And there's
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: also a few in the driveway. If you walk around
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and have a look, you'll pick them up in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: driveway also. And one thing I should point out, it
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: doesn't come with the house, but in one of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: recessed wall features, And the kids just stand there looking
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: at it at the open homes at the moment is
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: just rows upon rows of Lego people, a different one.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So it's great.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And the house certainly embraces colour, all different colours, absolutely.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And can you explain to us, there's like a painted
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: brick wall out the back near the basketball area?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that area, it's just, it's been decorated that way.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: It's just another... quirky feature of the home where, you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: it's a real family home. So there's a little bit
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: of a cricket area. You've got that decorated basketball spot
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: as well. And with the basketball hoop, which comes with
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the home as well. It's, yeah, it's... The owners have
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: done that also.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You've been around in and around property for a long,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: long time. It's not often that you would get one
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: like this to sell either, I would imagine.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: No, no. Look, it's been on my books for probably
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: about nine months that it was coming on. And so
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I'm really proud to be offering it for sale.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And Chris, we always say when we get to talk
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: about beautiful properties that you need to go and have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a look for yourself. But really with this one, you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: absolutely do need to go look for yourself. When can
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: people do that?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%. So today I'll be there from 12.45 to 1.30.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Slightly longer open homes because you do need to take
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the time to really take this home in. And I'll
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: be there with my assistant. And, you know, if those
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: times don't work for you, just ring me and I'll
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: make an appointment to show you through. Beautiful.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Take the time to take the home in and count
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the Lego pieces. Chris, thank you so much for your
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: time this morning.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Fantastic. Thank you. Have a great day.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's Chris Wilson from Ray White there talking about 40
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Masson Street in Turner. Gosh, it's interesting, isn't it?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Bring it up on the search engine and have a
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: look because, as we said, there's those Lego pieces at
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the letterbox.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And then there's just more as you keep going through.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: The thing that you spoke to me this morning about
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: when we first opened that up and saw it together
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: for the first time were the two boxes. Cubby houses,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you called them.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's what I thought they were initially. I'm like, gosh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: this is an epic treat for the kids, but it's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: much more than that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: There's like little studio and gym and you could use
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: them for anything, really.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I love what he said about shoving
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the kids out there if they've got a sleepover. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: was already picturing that in my mind.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
