Family oasis

Set on 1.21ha, this well-presented and loved home is set in a peaceful and sought-after area, surrounded by mature gardens offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed about.

A winding driveway leads up to the home where you are met by a double carport and veranda that is framing the entire façade of the house. Upon entering the brick constructed property, you walk straight into the heart of the home, the formal sitting room with large open fire.

The bedroom wings flank each end of the house with the master suite being totally separate to guest/kids bedrooms. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including five-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, large walk-in pantry and stone benchtops. The lounge and dining areas flow from the kitchen creating the open plan feel that modern-day living commands.

The home has five bedrooms and a separate study including a vast master suite with walk-in robe and recently renovated ensuite. All the remaining bedrooms have built-in robes bar one and are serviced by an equally impressive family bathroom. A third rumpus room, which was also recently renovated, allows for a separate play space, work space or a home studio. Ducted gas heating can be zoned to three areas while split systems take care of the cooling.

Outside you will find a massive 13m long, solar and electric heated pool with a covered

entertaining area with outdoor heating, a wood-fired pizza oven, a spa and TV and a pool house/bungalow. There is also 4.8 kw of solar panels offering a transferable 66c tariff.

Buying new vs established As a first-home buyer, making the choice between buying a new house or buying an established home and renovating it is a tricky one.

There are many benefits to both options and a lot of information to weigh up before you make that decision.

Buying established We all have those friends who bought a ‘renovator’s delight’ as their partner was ‘handy’ and they planned to renovate but 10 years later little has changed in their home. Adrian Kelly, president of REIA, said one of the first questions people needed to ask was if building/buying a new home was going to be a cheaper option than renovating.

“The cost of renovating can be high and can take time especially if council approvals are required,” Adrian said.

“Funds spent on renovating generally need to be seen as a long-term investment in terms of adding value.”

One of the pros for a first-home buyer in choosing an established property is they can move in straight after it’s settled. And that means they can save on rent.

On the other hand, the time frame of waiting for their home to be built in a house-and-land package scenario can give first-home buyers more time to save and take advantage of government grants.

At the moment, first-home buyers are heavily incentivised to purchase off-the-plan property and house and land packages with the government grants and incentives. However, an established property can represent better value in buying, with the land size generally larger along with a bigger floor plan.

It might also give the opportunity to add value over time by using a government grant to renovate. The garden is also already established - that can save on the landscaping costs required in house-and-land properties.

When considering an established property, buyers can walk around the neighbourhood and see the streetscape, see who their neighbours will be, know the local infrastructure like schools, shops and transport.

Building new One of the biggest attractions of building a new house is you can start with a fresh canvas. You can design it to suit your needs, with all the features and the latest appliances. New homes can also be more energy efficient too with the potential to reduce living costs.

Some of the benefits of building a new house include: Pay less stamp duty Government incentives and grants Easier maintenance, no need for renovations Peace of mind with new home warranty Personalise the home to suit your dreams and budgets (From realestateview.com.au)

Buying in a pandemic

KN253368

Property: Address: Price: Agent: Contact:

From realestateview.com.au It came as a surprise to many, but the property market throughout Australia has proven to be remarkably resilient amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many things contribute to success in the market; one of them is the incredibly low interest rates.

Another reason for the shifts in the property market is that people are working remotely. As a result of remote work, many buyers no longer need to be near their workplace. If you are in a position to buy, here are practical things to consider before you purchase a home during a pandemic.

Job security Although the property market is currently thriving, it is important to remember that this pandemic is not over. Before purchasing the home of your dreams, try to ensure that your job is secure for the foreseeable future.

Ensure safety protocols are in place If you are looking at houses, it is essential to ensure that safety protocols are in place. If you are going to an open house, make sure that the seller will keep all doors open and adhere to social distancing measures. If you are completing inspections, make sure all individuals are wearing masks, and all surfaces have been cleaned properly.

Expect design changes Many houses have gone through renovations and changes over the last few months. As individuals spend more time at home, they become increasingly creative in their home design. Some people have changed their home design to encourage social distancing and safety protocols.

You can expect many changes to be seen in kitchen design. If you expect to practice social distancing for an extensive period, be on the lookout for homes with open floor plans and patios.

Be ready to act quickly With interest rates low, many individuals are on the house hunt. If you are looking to buy quickly, make sure that you are prepared and pre-approved. In this climate, you will likely have to put down an offer soon after a house goes up for sale.

Build the home you want When looking to build your new home go along to have a chat with McCarthy Homes’ friendly staff and take a look at the building options they offer.

You may like to choose from their extensive in-house plan range which caters for all budgets and styles and offers you the scope to customize to your own requirements.

Already have your plans drawn? McCarthy Homes would love to give you a quote.

Perhaps you have your own unique ideas and a façade in mind?

McCarthy’s staff will sit down and design your home with you. Everyone is different and they pride themselves on their complimentary design service which is tailored to your budget, style and the needs of your family.

Custom design can only begin when your land has been purchased.

Please take in to the team at McCarthy Homes as much information as you can for expediency and accuracy - titles and covenants, design ideas, façade preferences, your wish list and of course an estimate of your

budget. This allows McCarthy Homes to design your home as you would want from the very beginning.

Once the concept design has been decided on, generally allow two to three weeks for McCarthy Homes to prepare a design sketch which will include a floor plan, elevations and façade options.

At this point after any revisions and alterations are made where required, your plan is then estimated. At the presentation of the quote you then decide if you want to proceed.

If you choose to do so, then the next steps involve moving forward to working drawings, preliminary building agreement, engineering and so much more with McCarthy Homes’ expertise guiding and supporting you through the whole process.

GemLife s stunning new country club If it takes just seven seconds to make a first impression, the stunning new country club at over-50s’ lifestyle resort, GemLife Woodend Country Club, breaks new records.

Stepping through the doors of the recently completed lakeside country club’s stylish and beautifully designed entry immediately sets the tone for what lies beyond - a contemporary yet timeless space, with luxurious finishes and details that seamlessly combine a sense of expansiveness with intimacy and warmth.

GemLife Woodend Sales Manager Alison Rice (pictured) said the country club sets new standards for over-50s living in Victoria, with nothing comparable on offer in the state, providing the resort’s residents with a huge range of premium facilities.

The country club is home to extensive first-class facilities including everything from a heated magnesium-infused indoor swimming pool, ten-pin bowling alley and golf simulator to a luxurious cinema, chic wine room, library, bar, cafe, creative arts studio and more. A wide, covered outdoor deck area along the lakeside of the club - with heating for cooler days and nights - provides a perfect spot for residents to take in water views while enjoying an evening cocktail or a peaceful morning coffee.

Ms Rice said the country club would become a hub for GemLife Woodend residents and had been designed to create a welcoming environment for relaxation, socialisation, fitness or just plain fun.

“As a gated community for active, independent over-50s, we take great pride in providing high-quality facilities for a truly exceptional lifestyle. The country club forms a major part of that.”

In addition to the country club, GemLife Woodend provides a number of outdoor facilities including an undercover lawn bowls’ green, an off-leash dog run, floodlit tennis court,

bocce, pickleball and petanque courts.

Just like its facilities, Ms Rice said the quality of GemLife Woodend’s two or three-bedroom homes was of an equally high standard.

GemLife resorts are not retirement villages and operate on an entirely different financial model. Known as ‘Residential Parks’ (or Land Lease Communities), there are no hidden costs. Buyers own their own home, paying a weekly site fee that contributes to site and facilities maintenance, similar to body corporate fees.

No entry or exit fees are guaranteed, and homeowners retain 100 per cent of their capital gain.
