An extra bathroom, a smart new kitchen and refreshed interiors upped the family-friendly appeal of this renovate-to-sell property
This three-bedroom brick property was an ideal project for building student and renovator Fiona Bouchier, who was looking to undertake her third “cosmetic flip”.
“I found this property before it was officially put on the market and the moment I stepped inside I knew it had great bones,” says Fiona. “At around 700 square metres, the land size was good, it had a garage and was fully fenced – ideal for families and pets.”
Her aim was to get in, renovate and sell in the shortest timeframe possible, to minimise holding costs and access the profits for her next renovation project. So she mapped out everything that needed doing before the 40-day settlement date, which allowed work to start as soon as she took possession.
