Our clients, moving up from Sydney, came to us with a very specific brief about the house, but were a little unsure on the location. They were certain they would have to renovate or extend to get the specifics of what they wanted. After talking them through many areas, they decided that Hamilton South was their preference due to the style of houses and feeling space, we showed them this property. We snapped it up before auction and the best news no renovations or extension needed!
