27 Fitzgerald Street, South Grafton NSW 2460

Conventional housing is priced out of reach for many Australians. Yet people of all ages aspire to have a place of their own. Heating and cooling costs are continuing to rise faster than average income. A smaller home makes sense in today?s economic climate and when you consider smaller homes as investments there are many reasons why this makes sense.

1. Easier to maintain. Anyone who has owned a house knows the amount of time, energy, and effort to maintain it.
2. Less time spent cleaning. And that should be reason enough?
3. Less expensive. Smaller homes are less expensive to purchase and less expensive to keep (insurance, heating, cooling, electricity, etc.).
4. Less debt and less risk.
5. Mentally Freeing. As is the case with all of our possessions, the more we own, the more they own us. Buy small and free your mind.
6. Less environmental impact. A smaller home requires less resources to build and less resources to maintain. And that benefits all of us.
7. More time. Many of the benefits above (less cleaning, less maintaining, mental freedom) result in the freeing up of our schedule to pursue the things in life that really matter ? whatever you want that to be.
8. Encourages bonding. A smaller home results in more social interaction among the members of the family.
9. Forces you to remove baggage. Moving into a smaller home forces you to intentionally pare down your belongings.
10. Less temptation to accumulate. If you don?t have any room in your house for that new treadmill, you?ll be less tempted to buy it in the first place (no offense to those of you who own a treadmill? and actually use it).
11. Less decorating. While some people love the idea of choosing wall colour, carpet colour, furniture, window dressings, decorations, and light fixtures for dozens of rooms, I don?t.
12. Wider market to sell. By its very definition, a smaller, more affordable house is affordable to a larger percentage of the population than a more expensive, less affordable one.

Located within good distance to schools this low-set home offers a home with heart and our sellers have indeed retained that homely feel. Polished timber floors, picture rails, a fireplace and the signature ceiling rose give grace to the interior whilst the double colourbond shed and paved pergola area give life to the surrounds.

We estimate this property would rent for at least $260 per week in the current rental market.
