Sold! http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-berwick-119603387 Absolutely rapt with the price. It's about $50k more than we were expecting! :eek: Not looking forward to the CGT next year...

This was the 90's - built in 1991, I think! EVERY ROOM (except the wet areas) had a border. Not sure that the middle-aged guy sleeping in BR3 enjoyed the teddy bear frieze. :p

Thanks to everyone who has commented with positive feedback. Appreciate it.

No microwave cavity, but there are 3 powerpoints, one in each "corner" of the bench. And the fridge point is a double. Yep, timber laminate. We didn't even talk to the installer about which way they would run. I don't think it would have made a lot of difference to the flow either way.

Yeah, I think we overpaid (maybe 10%), but it is - to my eye - a reasonable quality, so that part's not an issue. The things that annoyed me: - they contract out the install ++$, which we had to co-ordinate directly with the builder - the builder included mandatory "rubbish removal" charge...

Most of the big ticket items we had done, as we aren't close to the property. eg, all the painting, the kitchen and the flooring, as well as electrical and plumbing. We did the gardening, replaced door handles, tile paint in the bathroom and ensuite, all demo work and clean up. We used Good...

Have been a bit quiet of late - consolidation. But we have decided to reno and sell the house that my wife bought before we were married. Thought I'd share a few before-and-afters, since we pretty much wrapped it up yesterday. Not listed for sale yet, but should only be a couple of weeks...
