From dream to disaster. Four years ago I sold this home and it was paradise. You’d swear you were in Queensland! There were palms and bamboo all around and sheltered living areas opening to a pool surrounded by crazy paving. It was as oasis in a busy spot. High fences kept out the road noise and walled courtyards provided a series of delightful garden experiences. But things have gone a pot – years of neglect mean that now its more a throw away than a hideaway! While somebody may wish to scrub it up, the land size of over 1000m2 means development is a more likely option. Its a good sized home of four bedrooms with family-sized kitchen, extra games room, pool cabana and triple garage but it does need lots of elbow grease. Its up to you – kick back in summer or kick it over!
