We bought an old house on the Central Coast of NSW, gave it a major renovation, and transformed it into a stunning, Palm Springs-inspired home. But that was just the beginning! From the very start, we knew we wanted to add a Granny Flat, a welcoming retreat for visitors or a clever way to generate extra income. Together with Granny Flat Solutions we selected teh right floor-plan and got ready to start.
Now, with a limited budget and big dreams, we’re finally making it happen. And we’re taking you along for the ride!
