Your design skills on show

C

arpet Court is hoping to unite our design community and interior decorating enthusiasts with their Love the local Look project and e-book.

After its launch next year, the e-book will give people an idea of the wide variety of interior design trends in Australia and show how each suburb has its own style, which is reflective of the lifestyles, environment and history of that area.

As part of the project, the Hunter’s budding interior designers, aspiring students and enthusiasts are being invited to share with Carpet Court an original photo of a space that best represents their home town.

The photo should be of an interior space, or a collection or

display of objects in the home of the person entering By sharing their photo and with it, their design skill, designers whether amateur, studying or just getting established, will go into the running to win an exclusive style session with Carpet Court ambassadors, Shelley Craft and Darren Palmer (pictured) and will also take home $2,500 cash to fund their design dream.

The winner will have created a design space or arrangement that reflects their suburb better than any other.

“Each city and town across the country has its own local flavour inspired by their surroundings and way of life. We are really excited to showcase Australia’s design diversity by celebrating our customers’ own eye for style,” said Carpet Court’s Natasha Gallardo.

The top 25 finalists will have their pictures featured in Carpet Court’s Love the Look e- book, which will be available early next year and will also receive a cash prize. To enter, visit www. facebook.com/CarpetCourt, like the page and click the Love the Look tab.

Do you feel they are being transparent? Some people are good at sales but there is something to be said for your gut instinct.

Do you feel pressured to make a decision? A sense of urgency to complete the transaction doesn’t indicate they have your best interests at heart.

Do they charge an additional commission? Do they understand how to structure a loan correctly for tax? If you decide to refinance down the track, will they charge you a fee? Undeclared extra costs or charges are a warning sign.

Don’t let your pool take a dive W

ith the cooler winter months behind us and weather warming up, pools have the potential to become breeding grounds for bugs. However, by taking five simple steps now, pool owners can avoid the much greater cost of making a green pool crystal clear.

First National Real Estate Lake Macquarie principal, Troy Duncan says research shows that 96 per cent of Australian pools take a dive in health during the cooler months, leading to a build up of harmful bacteria, which could affect the health of those swimming in it.

“Lots of people take a break from regularly adding chlorine to the pool during winter. But as

the weather warms up, many get caught out with a pool that has suddenly turned green,” he said.

“Pool owners, including tenants leasing properties with pools, should take the time now to check their pools so that they can enjoy them safely throughout the warm summer months.”

Troy said using the services of a professional technician to conduct regular water health and safety checks is sensible and frugal, but you don’t need a science degree to buy and use a test kit from a supermarket.

First National Real Estate offers these top five tips for early-season pool maintenance to ensure pools are healthy and ready for summer: 1. Check the pool equipment to ensure it is in properly running order 2. Ensure the pH level is within healthy levels 3. Make sure chlorine levels are adequate to disinfect all microorganisms 4. Vacuum and skim the pool regularly 5. Organise a regular professional check up “Now is also a good time to check the pool’s compliance with state laws and regulations,” Troy said.

Sold for a Cure Special community project finishes on a high with amazing result at auction

Wednesday 5 November 2014

F

ollowing a competitive and nail- biting auction, the Build for a Cure house has sold for $783,000, with proceeds to be donated to the Children’s Cancer Institute, funding vital medical research to cure childhood cancer.

With seven registered bidders, five active bidders and 16 bids above the reserve, the Build for a Cure home, built and fully furnished in Sydney’s west, was purchased by a lucky family who can now call the four- bedroom, two-bathroom house a home.

New owner, Rosemary and son Stefan Dorakay said: “This is just so incredible and so exciting.

We drove past during the build, seeing all the tradies working so hard – we never thought at the time we would be its first owners”.

“It was a whirlwind auction and it came down to the last $500.

We’re thrilled to have bought a house that will have such a positive impact on childhood cancer,”

said Ms Dorakay, who was thrilled with the result.

The auction was abuzz with activity as a huge crowd descended upon 59 Forestwood Drive, Glenmore Park last month.

Among the serious bidders vying for a piece of western Sydney’s hotly contested real estate were families of the partners and suppliers involved in the significant build.

“This house is phenomenal,” said PRD Nationwide real estate agent, Daniel Latty.

“Not only do we have a luxury family home, but the fact that it has sold fully furnished... is not something the Penrith market has seen before, so the lucky new owners have really hit the jackpot with this unique house.”

Children’s Cancer Institute Executive Director Professor Michelle Haber AM said the Build for a Cure house is an extraordinary gift to the Children’s Cancer Institute, marking 30 years of

dedicated medical research to find a cure for childhood cancer.

“I am thrilled that Children’s Cancer Institute is the beneficiary of Build for a Cure, a wonderfully innovative project, and I am blown away by the generosity of our partners who have made this happen,” she said.

“This ground breaking campaign will raise much-needed funds that will take us a step closer to curing childhood cancer.

It’s not if, it’s when.”

The proud new owners can now look forward to moving in and enjoying their lavish fourbedroom, two-bathroom ‘Havana One’ home which was donated

by McDonald Jones Homes and built in partnership with Austral Bricks. The new home sits on 500m of land in Glenmore Park donated by Wearn Brothers Group and is fully furnished by Freedom, with appliances by Electrolux and home entertainment by Panasonic.

Are you looking for a sea change?

If you’re looking to start the next chapter of your life, we may have just found the dream location and property

F

our superb Balinese inspired beach shacks and an adjoining residential cottage in the picturesque seaside town of 1770 on the central Queensland coast have been listed for sale by Ray White Hotels Australia.

“1770 Beach Shacks” and “Stone Cottage” located at Seventeen Seventy are being offered for sale for the first time in 17 years in an Expression of Interest campaign

by Leon Alaban and Grant Bailey of Ray White Hotels Australia.

Mr Alaban said the bungalow Wednesday 5 November 2014

style properties and adjoining cottage boasted breathtaking views of the ocean and were being offered for sale as a freehold and boutique business.

“The offering comprises four freestanding unique pole houses on a land area of approximately 776 sqm, each with their own private decks overlooking 1770 beach,” he said.

“At the rear of the beach shacks is an adjoining cottage on a separate title which is currently utilised as a manager’s residence.

“The cottage is located on a land

area of approximately 809 sqm on Elliot Street, forming two street frontages for the opportunity.”

Mr Bailey said the properties presented a unique opportunity to secure a tightly held commodity in Queensland’s sought after Discovery Coast surrounded by the Coral Sea and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

He said the Town of 1770 was situated approximately 494km from Brisbane, 130km south of Gladstone and approximately 130km north of Bundaberg.

“1770 is surrounded by Conser-

vation Parks, National Parks and Marine Parks ensuring a captive number of properties available for sale,” he said.

“This is the first time in 17 years the properties have been put on the market and we’re anticipating a lot of interest in the offering.”

Mr Bailey said the properties were zoned “Medium to Low Density Residential”.

1770 Beach Shacks and Stone Cottage are being offered for sale via Expressions of Interest closing at 4pm on Wednesday, November 19, 2014.

Around your place

It’s BBQ time!

Warmer weather means that it’s time to dust off the BBQ for a great summer of food and fun

consider a six burner. If you have a small space then a compact portable barbecue is the best option, whereas bigger decks and patios will be able to accommodate large outdoor kitchens.

Next thing to consider is the fuel source for your barbecue. For those who are new to barbecuing gas is the perfect option as it’s easy

These days barbecuing is not just about throwing a few snags on a grill. If you’re looking to get a bit more creative with your cooking then there’s plenty of features to suit every style. Round kettle barbecues are a good option for roasting as their shape allows for even cooking while hooded barbecues are great all- rounders

S

ummer’s coming which means it’s time to get outdoors and get cooking. But with a huge range of barbecue options on the market it can be a little overwhelming when it comes to choosing the newest member of the cooking family.

To help make the process a little easier Bunnings National Barbecue Buyer, Kristen Beer has some suggestions on how to create the perfect outdoor cooking area.

Before you pick a barbecue think about how many people you will be cooking for and the size of your outdoor area. If most of your barbecuing will be for less than four people then a two burner should be enough to do the job. But if you tend to have larger gatherings you may want to

Tips for your garage Don’t let it become a tip: Yes, your garage is great for storage but there’s no reason to make it resemble a rubbish dump. Keep your garage organised and clean. It’ll allow you to have more space and better access to things you’ve chosen to store.

Hang pictures: Are you no longer allowed to hang that awesome piece of sporting memorabilia in the house?

Consider turning your garage walls into a shrine of great posters and pictures.

to use and with no ashes to worry about it’s easy to keep clean. To give your cooking experience more of an authentic feel then go for a charcoal fuelled barbecue.

If you’re finding it hard to choose there’s also charcoal gas grills on the market. These grills use gas to light the charcoal so your meals won’t miss out on that lovely smoky flavour.

and can be customised with grills, hotplates and outdoor ovens along with extras like built in thermometers, side burners and rotisseries.

For pizza lovers there’s the option of adding a traditional pizza oven to your outdoor space or for a slow roasted flavour try a spit roast, which can be fuelled by charcoal or wood.

Is it bigger listings? More listings? More household tips? A better rental guide?

Whatever it might be, we want your thoughts.

As Property Hunter continues to grow, we’ll be able to include more fantastic related content.

We’ll also be working with local real estate agents to ensure their advertising is delivering what our readers desire.

Use boxes: Don’t just randomly throw your items in your garage. Get some really good shelving and some storage boxes. We’re not talking old cardboard boxes here, but legitimate storage boxes from a storage store.

Mark the boxes clearly and place items you wish to store in them. This will keep the items in really good condition and also ensure you have easy access to them when they’re needed.
