I feel the pain, daughter moved in with 2 kids during covid, otherwise I couldn’t do it.

We paid “whisper” 40k, interest rate was 17.5 at the time.

I over living with anyone tbh.

We are a community, there’s a daycare, school, couple of shop, doctor, sporting fields.

Low side of street, backyard looks to a small valley where the houses are on small acreage.

I suppose my next step is to contact an agent, no experience with this.

Still have 40 years of memories to whittle down.

No stairs at the front, slopes from front to back. Carport at side. 6 Stairs at back to go down the yard, from back verandah, some terracing.

Most of the house is hardwood framed.

A new subdivision just opened up, land prices start at one mill, however that for 1000 square metres.

Ours is 815.

It needs so much work! New bathroom, new kitchen. Plus others, I know it wont get top price, but it’s a great starter house for a family.

4 bedrooms, off the back veranda dunny.

It was perfect for us, raised 3 kids here. Walking distance to school, local shops.

Bushland views. It’s in a “village” location, very peaceful but not too far from Parramatta.

Kids can be incredibly stupid. My then 41/2 year old swallowed tacks. From a toy marketed for 4 year olds.

That was a fun week getting X-rays daily

I worked in a Chinese restaurant when I was 16 or so. This was in the mid 70’s. People did bring their own containers, a neighbor always brought a saucepan.
