THE BRIEF
When Dana and Kevin realized they were pregnant with their second child they decided to move from their house in inner city Sydney to Adelaide and back into Dana’s parents home! It’s been great for giving them time to save for their ideal house and search out their dream locations in the city, but they are increasingly feeling over cramped and are desperate to move out ASAP. They are looking for a renovated Californian Bungalow with at least 3 bedrooms on a 700sqm+ block in and around Clarence Park.
