ADDRESS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
Very reluctant sale of partly renovated & very homely character cottage;
1950s fibro & tile jarrah-stumped home in quiet part of town; $50,000+ spent on improvements to yard and house over past few years.
About half of the house has been repainted as I had been gradually renovating & had no intention of ever moving; Work commitments require a change in location so this lovely plot is offered for sale with a heavy heart & a lump in my throat
The house has a lovely feeling of warmth to it, which you experience as soon as you walk through the front door; bright and cheery colours, with a brand new, quirky, pastel-coloured, retro-slash-cottage styled kitchen. The view looking out of the glass front door is one of birch trees and red roses and usually a myriad of little birds who come to play in the front garden and to use the bird bath.
This was supposed to be my forever home and I have poured my heart & soul into the work I have done on it whilst aiming for a comfortable & welcoming place to live or visit; all it wants now is a nice new owner who likes to garden & who appreciates a house with a little bit of pizzazz.
There are several of these older-style beauties for sale in town at the moment, but the others do not have the kind of landscaping/gardens that set this one apart. I make no apologies for the fact that it isnt finished yet I was in no rush and all of the hard work (retaining, paving, fencing, outdoor entertaining area, floorboards, installing heating, decking, planting, making a lawn where there was nothing but weeds 4 years back) has already been done.
