Sarah and Ben Harris had just wrapped up a heritage renovation when they found themselves bidding on yet another period home. “We hadn’t expected to buy again this quickly. We hadn’t even settled on our other place and this was the first auction we had been to since selling,” says Ben. But for this Melbourne couple, the opportunity to get their hands on a double-fronted Victorian in the inner suburb of Windsor was just too good to pass up. “Usually, by the time we sell, we’ve forgotten all the pain and stress,” says Ben. “It’s always hard to leave, but we start designing ASAP, so there’s something new to focus on.”
