Client Location:
Hong Kong

The Brief: 
Our clients are Australian expats residing in Hong Kong. Milk Chocolate was briefed to find a terrace located in Sydney’s Inner West, preferably in Balmain or Birchgrove. The brief was a home that could be placed on the short-term rental market so our clients could also enjoy the home as their Australian bolthole on their trips back to Oz. When they eventually return home from Hong Kong this property would be their home for a few years and they wanted a home that could be renovated to their taste before they returned.

Purchase Reason:

  • Investment Property

  • A place to stay on trips back to Australia

  • A property they could reside in for a few years when they return back to Australia full-time

Property Address: 
Birchgrove, NSW

About The Property:

Buses to the city can be flagged just a short five-minute stroll away and the ferry a 12min walk. The property itself presents really well from the street and Internally, it just keeps going, with the ability for renovations down the track.
