Our new abode!

IMG_0200
Several things made this house feel like the one for us. We looked at many houses in the area but this one felt comfortable if that makes sense.
The land is a great size 1/4 acre block with rear lane access (perfect for the man's shed). It has some great features. The front entry is beautiful with side lights and cricket bat panel door. It also has a pressed tin ceiling which im hoping is original and not repro added in the 80's. It has a few additions that will need to go, including the poxy aluminium cladding and the verandah (featuring leaky box gutter) which looks like it was added in the 60's. Our pre purchase inspection revealed that it is need of re-blocking so we negotiated a price reduction to help fund that. Besides that its clean and very much able to be lived in right away so we'll be moving in as soon as we settle. Right now we are tying up the ends from the sale of our current house and packing like crazy! Great excuse for a clean out as after 7 years we have a whole lot of stuff we don't need.
