A creative couple thought they’d found their forever home – until they met this character filled ‘old soul’ on the NSW Central Coast.
A sweet little cottage bought before their children arrived had been home to Emily and Dave Berlach for eight years. “We were truly content,” recalls Emily. “We had the world’s best neighbours and really loved the area. We always said we would never move… unless we found our dream home.”
Fate stepped in. The couple, along with Joseph, nine, Olive, seven, five-year-old Elke and boxer hounds Rosemary and Gilbert, are now relishing the space and lifestyle options that came with their new home. It’s a character-filled 1980s-built charmer on a 1.5ha property in the hinterland not far from Terrigal – just around the corner from their old place.
“We stumbled across the real-estate listing by chance three years ago and did all we could to secure the property before it went to auction,” says Emily. “Everything about this home appealed to us. We really saw a future here for our family.”
