What the real estate agent says...

“This house hits all the right notes. It has everything people want: a doublefronted, freestanding home on a quiet street, right opposite a park. In terms of location and desirability, it’s among the best Lilyfield has to offer. The only Belle Property drawback would be the fact that it has no off-street parking. It’s a really pretty house and it would be a great shame to take down the old part of the building. A few doors up they have done a stunning renovation at the back. A combination of an old facade with a modern interior is what sells around here, and young families are the target market. In an ideal world, they’re looking for three or four bedrooms and a second living space for the growing kids. There are a lot of people looking and a limited supply of houses available. Most places are on the market for a maximum of 30 days and not many pass in at auction. In its current state, this house is worth between $1.8m and $2m. If it were modernised and expanded – with off-street parking – it could be worth as much as $2.5m to $2.8m.”
