The Move, The New House

Well, we have a new house...we have been thinking about buying another place for some time now...we had made it rather difficult for ourselfs in what we wanted. At first we wanted one of those new show homes, but we had a few restrictions:
  • Had to be a place in the same area (near Cassie's School),
  • Need to have great views,
  • Had a area I could us as a Home Office,
  • Somewhere for Beck to work,
  • Potential!!!
We originally wanted to find a block where we could build a show home, but there were none that were suitable in size or location, views etc. We then tried to find a place that was a knocker...we could knock it down and still have enough money to build...thats not going to happen where we were looking...so, we bought this place. One guess why.

Views!


More Views!


and some more!


Nice!


We got a 3 bedroom house, ok kitchen (bit small, more floor space, looked big at first) the bathroom was a joke..so I ripped it out and we have put in a new one. I will show some before and after photos later. It also has a Granny Flat. Have now set this up to have my office in it and Beck's sewing room and where she show's dresses. As you can see from the above pictures, it's got a pool and a great deck with some wicked views of the mountains and across the local suburbs and over to the sea. We have had a few lunchs and morning teas on the deck already. Can't wait until summer.

post more later
