Tired and literally covered in dust from helping my aunt move a bunch of shit around. But she made me lunch, packed leftovers and even gave me $100 petrol money out of sheer gratitude (after much protesting by me - she said it would make her feel better) She and my uncle have grown so much older. While Iâm sad that this chapter of my memories in Melbourne is ending too, Iâm very glad that theyâre moving on from a home thatâs too big and hard to maintain at their age. And Iâm very glad I went out and helped them, felt very good to be of use and generous with my time and energy. I miss doing this more often.

Big props to you for helping them out.

This will be the first of many trips I think. Their son left the house in a mess while they were away so step one is making it presentable enough to invite an agent. And then there will be many rounds of throwing out 30+++ years of crap. This place is on a very steep slope and the house itself has 3 steep levels, with high ceilings gathering cobwebs - itâs a wonder they didnât move sooner.

That sounds like a hard place to maintain no matter oneâs age.

Yeah, it would suit someone who doesnât mind that much dust. Itâs in a very beautiful tree-filled location and close to schools, amenities etc and the house has lots of character so I do think someone will buy it. It would be a wonderful house to grow up in, lovely neighbourhood too.
