Owners Notes
What we love about this home:
- When we first saw this house back in 2007, we were overwhelmed by how beautiful and well-built it was. Nine years later, we can still honestly say it really is the most wonderful family home. All our family and friends have loved our place, and like us, they are sad to see it go.
- We love how seamlessly you can entertain in the open-plan living area and the outside deck and garden.
- The yard is a fantastic size. Games of back-yard cricket, footy and bocce have been a highlight!
- Apart from being gorgeous, the house is eminently functional. There is heaps of storage space, the bedrooms are a great size, and the kitchen and open-plan living areas really work. The large garage is a treat and the two drive-ways are an added bonus!
What we love about Reservoir:
- Reservoir and Preston have really come of age in our time here. We are now surrounded by many fantastic cafes and eateries, and a burgeoning artistic community, which we will miss.
- We have always loved our easy access to Preston Market and Northland Shopping Centre, and our capacity to walk to both trains/trams and Robinson Park and Pike Reserve.
- We also have great neighbors who really look out for each other.
Why we are selling:
- It is with heavy hearts that we have decided to sell our much-loved family home. We are, however, keen to move closer to our places of work.
Vendor Review
Selling our home was a wonderful experience ...
When we engaged Michelle Portelli from Nelson Alexander (Preston) to oversee the selling of our home, we had high expectations. Looking back on our experience now, we can honestly say that those expectations were not only met but exceeded.
Michelle guided us through every step of selling our home. In the initial phase, she offered fantastic suggestions about the presentation of our home, and this included referring us to a number of maintenance and style teams. This removed much of the stress that we would have otherwise had in preparing our home for auction.
Michelle has a microscopic knowledge of the local area, and this proved critical in determining the true value of our property. Her wealth of knowledge and her expertise meant that we always knew we were in good hands. Michelle has well-established relationships with a number of potential buyers as well as other agents in the Nelson Alexander network. She was able to use these connections to bring a wide range of potential buyers (even those outside our local area) through our home.
Throughout the selling campaign, Michelle kept us fully informed about the level of interest in our property. She was professional and honest at all times. We have no doubt that her hard work and superb networking were a strong factor in the outstanding price we were able to secure on auction day.
We would have no reservations in recommending Michelle, as well as her colleagues Tom Vinen and Joe Horton.
