OWNER INSIGHT
“Having enjoyed 65 years living here in Main Avenue I can honestly say that it has been such a wonderful place to live and a much-loved home for me and my family. I have always found it to be a comfortable home and due to its location extremely quiet there as well. With the front of the house facing a southerly direction it has also been a bright and warm home to live in and many hours have been spent sitting enjoying the wide open view across the Bay in the sunshine!" “It has been a really difficult decision for me to make when deciding to sell my lovely home but reluctantly I realised that the time was right for me to downsize, make my life a little easier and move into an apartment locally, passing on my home to new owners and taking lots of wonderful memories away with me.”
