Persistence pays off in securing their long-loved Little River dream home.
AI summary
A couple's persistence secured their dream home in Little River, a former hospital they had loved for years. After initially missing out, a letter to the owners eventually led to a private sale.
This unique Banks Peninsula property, built in 1925, retains historical features like wide hallways and a former morgue, now a storeroom. The home includes a renovated kitchen, an artist's studio, and a large garden, offering a strong community feel. The owners are now selling to move closer to medical facilities.
