This charming house in St Albans, located northwest of Melbourne, was discovered by Jane in a local newspaper.

It was love at first sight, and since moving in, she poured her heart into transforming the property into a vibrant, cozy haven.

The home, which had been a sanctuary for Jane, came with an unexpected surprise that would change her life forever.

For more than twenty years, Jane paid $200 per week in rent, mostly in cash, to her landlord, John Perrett.

Known in the community for his involvement and philanthropy, John had built a substantial fortune over his 83 years.
