On Saturday, a wonderful client had me bid on a house at 1/1 Westwood Drive, Bulleen. This house wasn't just a house – it ticked every box on the criteria checklist for my client's home. From the dual living areas to the updated kitchen, from the open fireplace feature to the yard for her little boy to play... it had it all ...
