After 20+ years of ownership, we decided to give our Umina Beach house a major renovation.
I didn't take a before pic of the front but this is downloaded from Google. In fact it didn't look this good, because one tenant had put pebbles down over the grass and over time it had been let go so it looked pretty bad. The only thing we had done to the house was replacing the roof, which we did 20 years ago when we bought it...
We had the house 'wrapped' which gives it a much more modern look and should mean it will never have to be painted. I subsequently painted those poles and gutter, and cleaned up the garden...
I planted these down the side. I took them from my Pymble garden...
The back garden had really been let go...
We had it turfed and all the pebbles removed. It was a big job...
We had that tree removed, along with several others...
The third bedroom...
Bathroom before. That window really dates the house...
And after. That window was surprisingly expensive but it allowed us to have a solid wall for the mirror...
And after...
That room at the right was a small 4th bedroom so we removed that wall you can see to create more living space...
We had the boards polished and new lights installed. You can see the wall has gone...
The concrete slab for off-street parking was the last thing to be done...
This is a better pic of the house after the slab is down and the garden has been tidied up...
