Here's the front side of my new house. I'm getting out of the high rise and into a new home. It's really wonderful, huge interior, great backyard, shade, landscaping, and so many great features. It's vintage mid-20th Century, and the interior has been nicely renovated. It's typical Queenslander style, which means the main house sits on top of an open ground level, timber frame, corrugated roof, and so forth. This is not old-school Queenslander, but a passable mid-century rendition. The thing is, it has 7 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, a garage, a covered deck in the rear that opens up to the kitchen, a front and rear garden, a white picket fence, palm trees, and a huge shed in the rear of the lot that's big enough to hold a 10m boat easily. Oh, and behind the house is a park. I don't really need all the space, but it sure is nice to have some for projects. And, with a big old Land Rover and a desire to gt some big toys (like a sea kayak and a 4m rod and reel), it will be great to have enough space to store it all. Having space to work on the Landie is also important...that will save me lots of money on simple things like oil changes and fluid checks.
Anyway, I'm thrilled. It's taken me quite some time to find this place. It was my second choice when my first choice didn't work out. I sign the lease tomorrow and take possession next Wednesday. I'm really excited, and looking forward to a new life in a more traditional Australian home.
