97 Ross Road, Crestwood, NSW 2620

In 2016, amidst the bustling streets of Canberra, Brooke embarked on a journey that would lead her to the doorstep of her beloved home in near-by Crestwood. It was a chance encounter; a whimsical drive past a quintessential Canberra double-red-brick home on a sprawling block, that sparked the beginning of her love affair with 97 Ross Rd.

Enchanted by the allure of the property not realising the close proximity to Canberra's CBD, airport and bustling inner- north and south, but with the benefits of NSW ownership and the town's facilities, Brooke was drawn to explore further, driven by a sense of home that seemed to beckon her closer with each passing moment. It was during an open inspection, bustling with eager visitors, that she felt it-the undeniable feeling that this was meant to be her sanctuary.

Unfazed by the horrid green and aubergine staging, Brooke saw beyond the surface, envisioning a space filled with warmth, love, and cherished memories. And so, with a heart full of hope and excitement, she embarked on a journey of transformation, turning this house into a family home.

Over the years, Brooke poured her heart and soul into enhancing every aspect of her beloved abode with the help of local trades and companies. From the crisp snowy mountain walls to the gleaming copper water pipes installed by WaterTight Plumbing, no detail was overlooked in her quest to create a haven of comfort, style and economical savings for years to come.

With each improvement-whether it was the addition of Crimsafe screens by Doors Plus Fyshwick, ducted AC by Dawsons, double-glazed windows by Malplas, or the installation of a Fisher & Paykel Double Dish drawer-Brooke's home blossomed into a true reflection of her personality and values.

But amidst the flurry of renovations and upgrades, there was one space that held a special place in Brooke's heart-the lounge room. With its picturesque, double-glazed picture window view overlooking Queanbeyan and the mountains beyond, it was a place of solace and serenity-a sanctuary where she could unwind and reconnect with the beauty of nature. A view which is similarly enjoyed on the warmer evenings from the balcony, under the stars.

As Brooke prepares to bid farewell to her beloved home, she reflects on the countless memories that have filled its walls with joy and laughter. From lazy afternoons spent in the garden, surrounded by the sweet scent of fruit tree blossoms and hidden bulbs; the heartwarming sense of community fostered by her welcoming neighbours, to hosting friends and family outdoors. Every moment has been a testament to the warmth and love that defines her home which is felt by all who have shared this space.

But amidst the bittersweet farewells, there is one memory that shines brightest in Brooke's heart-the joy of watching her young child grow and thrive in a space filled with homegrown produce, love, warmth, and endless possibilities. It is a memory that she will carry with her always, a reminder of the precious moments that have made 97 Ross Rd a home, and knowing her improvements will benefit the next loving owner.
