‘I’ve never fallen in love with a house before’: The letter that won them their dream home
Persistence pays off in securing their long-loved Little River dream home.
AI summary
A unique former hospital in Little River is for sale, secured by its current owners with a persistent letter after they missed out on buying it years earlier.
Built in 1925, the historic four-bedroom home retains its character with original wide doors and even a former morgue, now used for storage. The property includes an updated kitchen, a separate artist's studio for owner Simon van der Sluijs, and sits on nearly half a hectare of established gardens.
The owners are reluctantly selling due to health reasons.
