The Client

Bianca was a first home buyer looking for a place that felt like her own.

Her search centred around Brunswick, Northcote, Thornbury and Coburg, with the focus on finding a home that offered the right balance of lifestyle, space and character.

She wanted somewhere light filled, with good internal proportions and a relatively turnkey feel. A courtyard was important too, giving her a little outdoor space to catch some sun, have friends over and enjoy the home beyond its four walls.

More than anything, she was looking for somewhere with personality. A place that felt warm and interesting rather than simply ticking a list of practical boxes.

What we did

We scoured the market and ruled out anything that didn’t genuinely fit Bianca’s brief.

When the right property appeared off market in Brunswick West, we moved quickly. Tucked away at the rear of the block, the solid brick villa offered the character, personality and quirkiness Bianca wanted, while still being practical and ready to move into.

We secured the property and found Bianca a first home that felt distinctly her own.

In their words

As a first time home buyer who knew very little about the property market, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jason and Jim from That Street. They taught me so much about the process and made what felt overwhelming at first feel safe, manageable and even fun. They truly nailed my brief, were always honest and straight with me, and helped me make confident, informed decisions. Their service and communication were exceptional. I always felt supported and genuinely cared for. I’m absolutely thrilled with the result and can’t wait to have them over for a BBQ in my new backyard!
