Beautiful Street Features of Eastwood

Beautiful Street Features in Eastwood

When you are walking around the crossing of Trelawney Street and Bellevue Street in Eastwood, you will be amazed by the panoramic view of the City, Olympic Park and Parramatta. The stunning landscapes excite you of the beautiful Sydney, which not many other streets will offer. The properties in the area were built in an early stage of the colonisation. Federation style and California bungalow houses dominate the area. The elegance of the early settlers could still be traced from the delicate constructions. Luckily enough, the newish twenty to thirty years old buildings also mingled nicely and took the elegant element of the early age. The articulate gardens enhance the properties and accomplish the lovely homes.
Leafy trees line up the street with the light/dark greens. With the shopping centre and stations minutes walk away, this area is simply a fabulous place to settle your family.
The doors, windows, lovely low brick yard walls all tells beautiful story of Australia’s History. Many newish buildings also took the lead doors and windows. I saw a mail box that is a mini house. I respect people’s privacy; otherwise, I do wish that you could share these lovely features. Some of the new occupiers are extending and renovating the properties. They paved the new driveway and doing the new gardens. As a neighbour, you must feel pleased to see that happening.
When you own a lovely property here, you are lucky, as the market acknowledge its value and response strong financially. You deserve the best service and the best result as a owner. If you were in a position that you need to sell, I would transform my love of this area to the buyers and I am sure their better understanding of this area will benefit you as a vendor.

Property Presentation Highlights

Property Presentation Highlights

First impression is crucial; it has never been left for a second chance. It affects directly buyers’ purchasing decision. To maximise the instant appeal of your home, you might work with the following tips to make your property most attractive:

Outdoor/Gardens
• Pay extra attention to have a welcoming entrance
• Make the entry clean and clear
• Make sure the front gate work and not very rusty or dirty
• Take away/tidy all distracting stuff from the appearance
• Mow the lawn a few days before inspection
• Clean the pool and the surrounding area
• Put few plants to create a nice feeling
• Repair rusty roof gutters if it gets rusty or broken

Living Areas
• Keep living room open and bright to show the best advantage and emphasize the space appeal
• Store away the cluttered stuff, make living room neat and tidy
• Light the area with adequate light and replace not-working bulbs
• Clean the windows/doors
• Vacuum clean the dust of all areas
• Rearrange the furniture to make it look open

Kitchen and Bathrooms
• Show the value of your home by enhancing the kitchen and bathroom
• Give it a through clean
• Put away the cheap odd utensils
• Put few decorative utensils and a bowl of fresh fruits
• Leave bench top clean and clutter free
• Don’t cook before the inspection, smoking odour can add unpleasant impression
• Clean the bathroom, clean and scratch off the stains in bath tub, shower case, vanity, toilet, and tile walls
• Put away the old towels or cleaning cloth
• Put new towels and face towels of the same colour
• make bathroom really attractive, a scent candle creates a very nice feeling too

Bedrooms/Study
• Make all beds, hang away all the clothes
• Cover the bed with a lovely newish cover and make it tidy
• Curtains should be open or neatly arranged
• Keep bedside lights on if the room is dark

Pets
• Take your pets with you, some buyers do not feel very comfortable with pets
• Put away the dishes of the pets and clean the stain on the floor
• Pets never stay inside

Overall
Create nice home ambience is very important.
Put few pot plants, flowers, play beautiful music, keep the lights on, keep the curtains open or neatly arranged, and open the doors for spacious feeling

The Golden Rule of presentation is 3 Cs
Clean
Clutter free
Colour – either few simple neutral colours or colours in harmony

The more attractive your property is, the more ready the buyers are going to buy, and the better result you will achieve. Your hard work before open home/inspection will never be done in vain. They add value to your property.
