    I want to buy a house in a specific location and found this one relatively cheap (maybe 820k) considering the area. Nicely renovated ones go for 1.2mil.

    Suggestions on possible renovations for $150,000 (under same roof line I assume would have to be for Melbourne prices)? I want to turn the dining room into bedroom 3 and demolish the back bedroom, making an open plan kitchen/dining/living and getting rid of the crazy back part of the floorplan. But where would a laundry go? and I don't want to get rid of a second toilet! Open to the idea of a laundry/shower toilet as I've seen that done before. The whole back part of the house (after bedroom/meals wall) is an existing (very old) extension already and is pretty crazy!

    What would you do?

    I strongly believe the weird short wall where the pantry is is load bearing - refer to image below - not sure of the other walls.
