Deck

If you live in Brisbane, try to find a house with a deck - preferably one with large glass doors opening onto it and overlooking a garden. This deck has been great for warming up on winter mornings, reading in the hammock after work, and having BBQs on weekends. On opening the large French doors, the lounge room feels like it's part of the deck,  doubling the sense of space. It faces North-East, which is ideal. If you want to add value to the home, extend the deck and its roof line further into the garden. You certainly have space for it!
