2A Moresby Street, Canterbury, Vic 3126

Dear Santa,
If it is at all possible this year, could you please bring us a new house? The old family home seems to be getting larger, the maintenance more intense and the garden, frankly it's killing us! We would like a smaller home on a compact block of land, with a manageable small garden and just enough space for our needs, we are sick of maintaining rooms that we no longer use. We would like a newish home but not too modern and sterile, and with all the charm and comfort we are used to. Location is of prime importance to us, a leafy cul-de-sac in Canterbury would fit the bill and if it opened on to parkland and a walking track, all the better. Close proximity to train and tram would be appreciated, and we would love a convenient shopping centre, one with the charm of Maling Road if you can organise that.
As for the home itself, the main bedroom and ensuite must be downstairs and a powder room would be useful for guests, however we do need a couple of upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom for grand kids' sleep-overs. One living area would suffice (but must be large enough to host the family on Christmas Day) and an outdoor entertainment area, preferably north facing, for those long sunny lunches with our friends, the other empty nesters. A top quality kitchen please, timber and granite with lots of storage and European appliances if you can, and timber floors, we especially love brush box parquetry. Don't forget the garage, with internal entry, room for two cars and storage for all those goodies we will never use again but can't bear to throw out.
All the usual extras thanks, heating and cooling, intercom, security alarm, and of course it must be a well loved and maintained home in immaculate condition. Hope this is not too much to ask Santa. From the Empty Nesters.
To the Empty Nesters, I see you have been good this year, so I have left your new home at 2a Moresby Street Canterbury. Enjoy!. Merry Christmas, love Santa.
