house at waverley park, mulgrave

we arrived in melbourne on the day my two daughters moved into their new house at waverley park. it is a 3-bedroom terrace house, very near to the sir kenneth luke stadium, home to the hawthorns.

the house was bought by my elder daughter and her husband-to-be.

my younger daughter, who is finishing her 2nd year of studies at monash university, clayton campus, stays with her sister. meantime, until they are married, my daughter's fiance will continue to put up at his rented place nearby.

while they were house-hunting and found this place, they were undecided because the price was higher than similar houses in other areas. i had told them if they liked the house, they should go ahead and buy it. anyway, the price is about the same as our hdb flat in singapore. a terrace house like this, in this kind of locality would cost at least s$1.5 million in singapore.

we like this place. there are facilities for recreation and exercise. the bus-stop, where my younger girl takes a bus to monash university, is about 150m away. there is a nice view of the dandenong mountains.

their home is just next the hawthorn football club stadium which has an oval field and a 550-metre track surrounding the oval. there are 3-storey residential houses overlooking the oval, some of which are occupied and some still under construction.
