Le Montage, Lilyfield

Lilyfield 2040

Named for the lilies that grew in the area, or possibly a Mr Lily, one of the earliest landowners. The first grant was given to Luke Ralph in 1821 but remained largely undisturbed until manufacturing and light industry associated with the timber trade brought worker's into the area.

Lilyfield has an assortment of housing, marginally larger than the immediate
neighbourhood and some areas have larger blocks of land.

Many of the streets provide excellent views of the city skyline and are currently enjoying an influx of owners keen to restore and refurbish.

The Orange Grove public school has a regular Saturday morning fruit and vegetable market which attracts people from all over the Peninsula, as does the waterfront Aquatic swimming complex, and access to the Bay run.

The light rail system built in the 1990's has greatly improved transport to the area which suffered from the deep rift valley running down the middle of the suburb.

Other transport is provided by RTA buses.

Peter, I just wanted to thank you and your team for the successful sale of my property at 13 Reynolds St Balmain.

Particularly I want to thank you all for the way you carried out the sale. I had asked for low level advertising so as not to interfere with my business.

You did a great job of vetting the possible purchasers to those who were really interested in my quite unusual property. The sale has been completed with all the conditions agreed to up front.

All the best.

I am writing you to express my gratitude for selling my property on View Street, Annandale.

I was very impressed by the professional manner you dealt with the advertising of the property, showing the property and managing the
prospective buyers.

The whole process was done in a way that left me completely stress free and I feel I could not have done better than I did, a rare experience when
selling a house.

Thanks again for your assistance, I look forward to dealing with you again in the future.
