gisborne 10 Charters Avenue, 3437 RT Edgar Macedon: 5427 1222

Price: $765,000 – $815,000

Kerb-side landscaping designed by award-winning local, Sue Meli, is an immediate (and true) indicator of the standards adhered to throughout every inch of this property of about 1872 square metres – and to light up the sparklers on the cake, there are great views of Mount Macedon. There’s nothing ordinary about this 36-square place, with great attention paid to harmonious flow of rooms and how they link with the outdoors; and finely worked helpings of architectural interest help cement the sense of excellence. Soft-grey tiles anchor the entry hall, to the left of which is a sumptuous main bedroom where light-attracting picture windows capture the Mount views. An island wall conceals four mirrored robes and dressing space, and the en suite is a cracker: french door to a secluded timber deck with classy water feature (hello morning cuppa); a huge shower with rain and hand-held shower heads; enclosed

toilet; and raised square vanity basins. Three more bedrooms (with robes) are down a carpeted hallway at the back, as are the sleek main bathroom and separate toilet. And there’s a chic powder room, and a laundry with storage galore – including a walk-in closet – before the beautifully planned living hub begins. By opening up stacker and sliding doors, an extraordinary indoor-outdoor flow is created, essentially linking four large living rooms to the integrated outdoor space (more about that later). An open, tiled study with bespoke desk and shelves is one of those rooms; another is the adjoining atmospheric theatre room with Bose surround speakers and screen/ projector hooked up for TV viewing. Two more include a family-dining room (check out the stunning lightfitting above the dining table), and a carpeted lounge room with a clever display ledge one of the aforementioned architectural features.

Stone benchtops, a big walk-in pantry, a wine rack above wide fridge space, glass splashback and 900mm Technika cooker equip a kitchen worthy of its surrounds. A series of timber and rendered screens (one fronted by an urn water feature) define and shelter the outdoor entertainment area, which begins with a covered deck sporting built-in bench seats. Chanticleer pear and silver birch trees, box hedges and climbing star jasmine add their leafiness to a truly serene space. Sweeping lawn areas, a pittosporum hedge and a row of nascent olive trees are other landscaping treats, and there’s a side gate giving access to a 6x6-metre Colorbond shed with concrete and power. This superb property also has ducted heating, a split-system, six-star energy rating, solar HWS, toughened window glass throughout, and a remote-controlled double garage. Carole Levy

PAY MORE $$ FOR A BACKYARD? Nearly 4 out of 5 Australians (78%) would prefer to live in a home with many natural elements, such as trees, plants, and a garden, instead of one that does not have these features.Assuming a base house cost of $500,000, Australians would be willing to pay an average of $35,000 more (about 7% of base cost) for a home in a green neighbourhood than for the same kind of home in an area with little surrounding nature. Around one third of Australians 34% would pay an extra $100,000 (20% of base cost), while 15% of people would pay an extra $120,000 or more.Three-quarters of Australians (73%) report that a backyard is an important feature of their ideal home. Out of 14 different natural and non-natural home features, a backyard is the one considered by Australians to be the most important. When asked to consider their ideal home and rank the importance of 14 natural and non-natural features to them, Australians rated having a home with a backyard and living in a “green” neighbourhood with many trees, parks, and gardens even higher than: being close to work; having easy access to public transport; and having good shops or a shopping centre nearby.

“21st Century”

$489,000

Moving into the exceptionally high tech world of the 21st Century can be daunting & confusing.

Added outstanding features of an outstanding home include double garage under roof, undercover BBQ, entertainment area leading from the kitchen/meals and the atrium – perfect all year entertaining. The home has ducted gas heating, reverse cycle air-conditioning, 2nd double garage/workshop with power and concrete flooring. Well established gardens, wide side access plus so much more. Here is a much loved family home which is sure to impress. Be quick to inspect!

As a “baby boomer” I have tried to resist IPad’s, IPhones, Tablets, Facebook, YouTube and all the other gadgets now available – to no avail. The truth is that technology is moving at an alarming rate and, as a business, we must keep up – even if it is “kicking and screaming!” I mentioned some time ago that most people, buyers, vendors, landlords & tenants are time poor. The working hours of 9am to 5pm five days a week are long gone. Children are involved in a huge array of activities & parents are tired, stressed and have no time. In order to best serve our clients we must provide extensive instant information, easily accessible via the internet. As Real Estate Agents we must be able to supply local information quickly & efficiently – it is not a good look if the client knows more about a property or area than we do! As we “move with the times” and become more “techno savvy”, Chess has introduced Facebook, Regular Internet Reports to our valued Vendors, Beautiful Photography and Internet Sites which are worldwide giving the best coverage for our Vendors and Landlords and allowing our Buyers and Tenants the all important instant viewing. While we have embraced the 21st Century it is also most important to remember that Real Estate is a “Service” industry as we at Chess take great pride in providing old fashioned friendly, face to face service as well as all the “you beaut, new-fangled” 21st Century technology. Call in for a cuppa & a chat, you will be welcomed with a big smile.

Real Estate Today Checking Out New Tenants The first point of contact are inspections. Our property management department will provide an agent to personally show tenants through your property. This assists us to get a feel for the prospective tenant and there is no substitute for experience.

• Real time auction results • Localised news, reviews and gossip

Then there is the actual filling out of the tenant applications. Once received, our property management personnel do a thorough tenant check. First on the list will be to contact their current agent to research

• Local lifestyle content & business + much more

31 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 9, 2014

TECH TALK MACEDONRANGES.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Cyclists can’t escape calls now Bret is a mate of mine who had his car written off by a bicycle. It was coming down a long hill and its rider didn’t know rim brakes don’t work in the wet. The bike rocketed through a stop sign and onto the intersection at full tilt and hit Bret’s little Renault at the front passenger’s door, flipping its rider over to land on his back on the car’s roof. It cushioned his fall nicely and landed him upright and on his feet on the other side of the car. He wasn’t even scratched. Meanwhile the Renault had a redesigned fender and door, and the roof was caved in. It was eight years old and the insurance company figured it wasn’t worth saving. Of course, Bret emerged as the bad guy of the encounter for no other reason than that he was in a car. Needless to say he has a view on cyclists. I’ve explained to him that cyclists always win the PR war because they wind up maimed and bleeding while pursuing their innocent, healthy lifestyles while selfish, crazed motorists who can’t be delayed a single second maliciously run them down and disappear over the horizon laughing fiendishly. Motorists are all the same. Now I have to tell him there are bicycle computers that make and receive rider’s telephone calls and texts, meaning the cyclists’ moral high ground will extend even further onto the road space as riders do all that neat, diverting phone stuff while riding. Magellan has announced a software update for its Cyclo 500 computers providing on-screen

call and text message alerts from smartphones, and wireless control of the music stored on them. “We are always looking for new ways to improve the cycling life of Australians and these cool one-of-kind features do just that,” said Paris Basson, a brand manager at Magellan. The phone features work with Apples and Androids via Bluetooth 4.0. They alert the cyclist to incoming calls and display text messages on the screen mounted on the handlebars. There is caller-ID and calls can be routed through a Bluetooth headset. Cyclists can also play, stop and pause music from their smartphones and receive turn-by-turn instructions from the phone’s navigation software. It’s encouraging to note the Magellan software also includes an emergency feature that sends a text message to cyclists’ nominated contacts advising of their exact location, providing an address and latitude and longitude (always handy). This means that, when cyclists encounter difficulties as a result of interacting with the phone rather than their fellow road users, someone can come by and rescue them. But this works only with Androids; Apple users must sort through about four billion apps to find something similar. The new features are available as a free software update for existing owners of Cyclo 500 computers, while new Cyclos carrying the software are available from $379 to $479.

Sunbury’s Emmie O’Nial is in the running to be named most valuable player in Big V women’s division 1 basketball. O’Nial is one of five players nominated for the award, which will be announced on September 20. She has also been nominated for the all-star centre award. The Jets’ Aden Muir is up for the MVP award in the youth league men’s division 1 competition.

By Tara Murray Gisborne will have to make the Bendigo Netball League senior grand final the hard way after losing to Kangaroo Flat in the semis. The Bulldogs led by a goal at half-time but were unable to maintain momentum in the second half, losing 43-36 at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday. But before then, the Bulldogs played some good netball off the back of the Stewart sisters, Annie and Maddie. The third quarter proved to be the difference between the sides, with the Roos shooting 12 goals to five to open up a seven-goal lead going into the final change. Bulldogs coach Kerryn Jorgensen said her team’s second half was disappointing. “I don’t know what happened in the second half,” she said. “They were quite physical and a lot stronger. “I don’t know whether it was that being a young side their mind wasn’t on the job, but it’s disappointing we didn’t concentrate to the level we needed.” Despite the margin not increasing in the final quarter, Jorgensen said the Roos remained in control of the game. She said Annie Stewart shot well but the team had a lot of scope for improvement before its preliminary final against Golden Square on Saturday. “If we can win this weekend, I think there’s a few things we can try against the Roos if we make the grand final,” she said. She predicted Golden Square, “a really tough team”, would provide a formidable challenge. “I think they’ll take it to us,” she said. The Bulldogs’ under-17s will play Sandhurst in a preliminary final.

Three Calder Cannons and a Northern Knight have been named in the TAC Cup team of the year. Cannons Touk Miller and Peter Wright were selected in the forward line of the team at the Morrish Medal best and fairest count on Sunday night, while Paul Ahern was named on the interchange bench.

Miller finished equal third on 12 votes, five behind the winner, Gippsland Power’s Alex Carr. Calder’s Jayden Foster was presented with the competition’s leading goalkicker award.

Conditions were almost perfect for the first round of Romsey Golf Club’s championships on Saturday. Many players found the fairways a little softer than expected, with their balls picking up mud and approach shots often resulting in an unusual bounce or roll. Rob Walker won from Mitchell Clement, John Freestone and Peter Scanlon.

Dash of spice for daily Cruze I’m not sure what the Z stands for, but I like to think it means ‘zippy’. While the Holden Cruze SRi-Z is not quite a hot hatch, it has plenty of pick-me-up from the 1.6L turbo engine. I drove the automatic version, which is normally a bummer with sporty models, but was amazed at how responsive it was, even from a standing start. There was no lag when you put your foot down and the gear changes were seamless, in keeping with the incredibly fluid ride. It handles OK too, thanks to the sports suspension that’s firm but nowhere near bone shattering. The six-speed automatic has active gear select to give you a bit more control of the gears, but I never felt the need to use it. The only downside with its suped-up performance is the fuel economy. I averaged about 10.5L/100km with urban driving, which was considerably more than most of its competitors and the published 7.4L/100km combined figure. It did do much better on the open road. The hatch version I tested is a nice car to look at with its subtle bodykit, fog lights and 18-inch alloy wheels. And it’s notably bigger than most other hatches on the market. The aesthetics and volume continue inside, with a great-looking leather-trim interior. In typical Holden fashion, the seats are firm but comfortable and there’s plenty of elbowroom. The front seats are heated, which was a nice touch during that recent cold snap. There’s plenty of storage in the cabin, and the cargo area under the hatch is huge. In the dark, the dashboard lights up in electric blue, illuminated buttons and 7-inch MyLink touchscreen which features your entertainment, phone, navigation and

reverse display. I reckon MyLink is one of the better in-car entertainment systems in terms of features, usability and fast bluetooth connection, which is almost instantaneous when you push the button to start the car. The Cruze SRi-Z offers good value for anyone

who wants the practicality of a luxurious small car that’s packed with features and provides a bit of zing to spice up your drive. Maybe that’s what the Z stands for. It is available at Sunbury Holden, 93-95 Horne Street, www.sunburyholden.com.au
