From Smurf blue to stunner – the transformation begins!
What a difference a month makes!
Just a few short weeks ago, this Carina property was a tired two-bedroom, one-bathroom post-war original. Today, thanks to the hardworking team at Local Property Network, it’s well on its way to becoming something truly special.
The Smurf-blue interior is officially gone, replaced with classic VJ walls that honour the home’s heritage charm. Inside, fixtures have been removed and several walls taken down to create a light-filled, open-plan living space – a modern transformation that’s a world away from where we started.
Check out the video to see the progress for yourself.

Let’s face it, this Carina property may have been priced at just shy of $1m, but in today’s market that price point often comes with a renovation to-do list. The real value here lies in the location – close to parks, playgrounds, schools and local shops – making it a worthwhile investment.
With vision, strategy and a whole lot of hard work, this ugly duckling is well on its way to becoming a swan – a perfect example of the value a smart renovation can unlock.
Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses!
