G'day all,
We've owned this property since mid-2000 - it wasn't "bad" back then, and not even that "bad" now. But, it has needed a downstairs loo since we bought it (otherwise, it meant a trek upstairs - bit rough if you've been working in the garden).
The house was built early '80's and is a distinctive style. Ideally located in Wellington Point. Wife and I decided to bring it into the 2000's when our long-term tenant left (early June 07).
So, here it is as it was. Renovation is happening as we speak, and we expect to have it complete by mid-July. All up it will cost ~$60k to complete what we deem (nah, not all NECESSARY, but) desirable. It has always been "a bit different" and it will continue that way, but with a new lease of life.
It will receive :-
a new kitchen
a new upstairs bathroom and separate toilet
a (previously non-existent) downstairs bathroom
complete repaint (inside and out)
Builtins in bdrs 2 and 3
various other titivating (inside and out)
We are looking forward to seeing it completed, and re-rented for ~$120 pw more than before (should be eminently achievable).
Anyway, here's the bathroom - (before the reno)
The lounge / dining area
And the kitchen

Watch this space for the final results - can't wait....
Regards,
