After living in - and renovating - numerous homes, Luka and Jesse McCabe were ready to stay put. Their current property, near Dudly Beach, presented a chance to live on a big block in a quiet location. "Jesse’s always wanted to have a garden and we’ve never really had that before...” But first, a big renovation was afoot. The existing dilapidated “concrete bunker on stilts” was in a sorry state, with a ‘dungeon’ of a laundry downstairs and a deck that wasn’t safe to stand on at the open-for-inspection. Now, a regigged layout and functional but beautiful country-meets-coast style mean that the home is perfectly suited to Luke and Jesse's young family. “People walk in and say they feel like they’re at home, which is music to my ears!" |
