‘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 Little River home, a former hospital built in 1925, is for sale. The current owners secured their dream property through persistence, writing a letter to the previous owners years after first falling in love with it.
The character-filled home retains original features like wide doors and even a former morgue, now a storeroom. It includes a separate artist's studio and sits on a large, sunny section. The owners are reluctantly selling due to health reasons.
