The seller just accepted our offer, we should be moving in the first week of August. I LOVE this house!!

It's a 5 year old Victorian, 2880sq ft living, over 4000sq ft total, on 2 acres.

The outside of the house (That's not the street you see there, it's a circular driveway, the house sits quite a ways back from the road)

Tricia!

Absolutely beautiful!! That would be my dream home - seriously! I love lots of room & Victorian is sooooo me!! I even have pictures of similar homes that I told my husband I want to get some day. I loved the outside & THEN you showed pictures of the kitchen!! I AM IN LOVE!! Is the next Lap Band Talk party at your house?!?! If so, I'M THERE!!

Congratulations!! You so deserve this Tricia!!

Congrats on your new home.It is awesome.:clap2:

Where's the jaw hitting the floor emoticon! That's awesome.

To buy a house like that in Australia, you'd have to be a multi gazillionaire. That would be in the realm of only the very top 1% of the wealthiest people in the country, truly. We just dont have houses like that here. We have our beautiful historic homes in the closer in suburbs, but they're 2-3 bedroom single storey homes with one bathroom and a tacked on kitchen, often the bathroom is only accessable from the outside. They require major renovation to make them liveable by modern standards.

Congratulations.

TriciaK,

As I said earlier in your yahoo window, I will be coming to visit with you just as soon as you settle in, July right?? Can't wait to see you next week hon. Comedy club and dinner, should be fun oh fun oh funn oh boy oh boy!

Oh and you already know what I think about my vacation spot...errrrmmmmm I mean your lovely new home. Your home is my dream home. There should be a room just for moi.. it should say... "Here Telly, here's your room sweet room!" Wooooot! That home is soo sesssi! The colors and all are just perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

*gigglesnorts*

Thanks again, everyone. We're very excited and can't wait to take possession of the house, which will probably be the first week of August.

Emilee - lol...no drooling!

Diane - LBT house parties? Have I been missing out on something?

Jachut - we definitely need to find an icon for that, don't we? Or rather, just take a picture of my face when I saw the inside of the house and use that. We got a great deal on the house. I suppose we were in the right place at the right time.

Telly - I can't wait to meet you either! We HAVE to take pictures to share with our friends here at LBT. Oh yeah...you're bringing DOC? Hee hee, j/k. So, you're coming in August or September?

Here's a million dollar Melbourne home, Hawthorn is about 8km out of the city:

Yep its gorgeous, but you can see how small it is! And that'd be oh, maybe $800,000 US dollars.

We used to live in the street, but we were only renters and we lived in a block of flats :phanvan

TRICIA!!! That house is amazing!!! And us floridians agree...that house here, with all of the property and the size and the style would EASILY be $750k here. What a beautiful place!!! I design kitchens and baths and I am in love with that kitchen! I love the cafe au lait color of the cabs and the lighting is great! You are truly blessed. I want to visit during the summer and sit on the porch during a storm!! OMG how peaceful!
