Bellingen where my heart is...

After a recent trip back to sunny Coffs Harbour I realised just how much I've been missing the good clean mid north coast air. Do I want to stay in Sydney for ever? No. Do I someday want a holiday house, veggie patch and nice piece of backyard to call my own? Of course. 

So with interest rates down and Kevie O-sevy forking out first home owners grants like they are going out of fashion I figured I'd best get a move on before the moment passed me by... 

I've never been a fan of "new things" when it comes to furniture, dusty old records an second hand books.... So it seems natural i gravitate towards a house that's already seen a lot of living. I like my things to have substance, a history to them and lets face it... they just don't build things like they used to, so when I stumbled across this little gem above in the "old" part of Bellingen on the states mid north coast I was all kind of excited.... at first glance it just felt like home... and with a built in fireplace and floor baords through out... what's not to love?

I realise this is quite possibly the impulse buy to end all impulse buys but hopefully fate is on my side and no one else snaps it up before i can get my pre approved loan approved on Friday! Fingers crossed people.
