This is the little house that we bought with the intention of demolishing it to build our new family home.
It was affectionately called the "Spider House" which was a name given by Scarlett. We actually think she was telling us that "we buyed that house", but we all seemed to adopt the "Spider House" name.
It was still being lived in when it went to auction. The owners, who originally had the same idea as us, decided that they wanted to build their new home closer to their family.
Scott and I jumped at the chance as we'd been looking for a nice piece of land for a long time, with it getting harder and harder to find something that wasn't in the clutches of the greedy developers. Contrary to popular belief, we didn't buy this property to live near my parents, it just so happened that this came up at the right time for us. For those who are unaware, they are on the main road, which is also two houses away from ours!
Our land is just over 1000 square metres, and has an existing 4 car garage which Scott will use as his man-cave/toy-box.
Also nestled in a quiet corner of the block is a little cottage with an ensuite. We debated about selling it, as it was in great condition, but then the house start date came a little too quick, so we decided to keep it. It will either be used for when we have visitors coming to stay (unless they are staying in the house with us!) or as a framing studio (most likely the latter if I can get my Dad on board as my framer).
