yourtown Draw 469

Having choices is great, and that’s what we love about the latest yourtown draw. This one gives you the choice of two distinctive homes, one in middle of Sydney’s vibrant Glebe and the other tucked away in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.

Each is part of a total first prize package worth $1.6 million, and depending on which you choose, you could be waking up to Sydney’s famous skyline or birdsong from a nature reserve. A terrace home in Glebe or a hinterland retreat in Buderim – the choice is entirely yours if you hold the winning ticket in draw 469.

Glebe Grandeur

Not too many people who live in Glebe actually own their home because this is some of the most expensive real estate in the country. This historic suburb is only a couple of kilometres from the very centre of Sydney, walking distance from such landmarks as the Bayside Foreshore, Darling Harbour, and all the big tourist attractions. Glebe is a highly coveted neighbourhood, and you could be living here mortgage free if you opt for the terrace home on Mitchell Street as your first prize selection.

Most Glebe residents either work in the inner city or attend one of the three universities located nearby. That makes for a lively, interesting, and vibrant community. It has its own unique feel, reflected in things like the alternative markets that set up at the local school on Saturdays. People come from all over the city to eat in the international restaurants that line Glebe Point Road, or shop in the many speciality boutiques.

You’ll be able to walk to Wentworth Park to see the dog racing or catch a game of soccer. The district is full of beautiful public areas where you can cycle or sit down on a park bench with a latte and a good book. It will take you months just to admire all the heritage listed buildings in your new neighbourhood and get used to living in such a lively part of the city.

As always, you can do whatever you want with the home once it’s yours. Tenants are easy to find in Glebe, and the rental income can give you the freedom to do all those things you’ve been putting off or saving for. You can also sell the property and enjoy life as a new millionaire. See the world, pay off debts or help out other family members.

Yes, it really is going to be all about making hard choices.

Buderim Beauty

Not everyone wants to live in the heart of a metropolis, and that’s why draw 469 offers such a great alternative. The second option for the first prize winner is a home in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, nestled into the side of a nature preserve.

Buderim offers everything you’d expect in a town at the heart of one of Australia’s best-known regions. Easy access to miles of clean white sand beaches, fishing, surfing, shopping and fine dining. You can play tourist and make the rounds of the local attractions, or turn inland to the beauty and tranquility of lush forests, waterfalls and wildlife.

Although you’re less than an hour from Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast is a world unto itself. Most people are either retired or on holiday, so there’s a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere about the place. As a resident, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds – all the features that make the region so popular, and your own bed to go home to at night.

If you choose the Buderim home and aren’t yet ready for a full-time getaway, the tight rental market assures you of a healthy income. Rent for awhile if you’re not sure where you want to live in the future, and you can always sell for a mighty windfall down the road.

After all, if you win the first prize in draw 469, you’ll be a millionaire and can do whatever you like!
