A combination of factors but the biggest "Selling" point for me was the playroom - that alone sold me the house and as soon as I saw it I feel in love with it. It was a big sunny room with a feature wall of bright yellow (sounds horrible but was actually so cheery), looking out over the back garden with white french doors leading into the playroom from the main living area.

It is still my fave room of the house altho now we have painted it a slighly more muted lemony colour. It is right near my kitchen/living area so I can keep an eye on the kids and I love opening all the blinds and looking outside.

In relation to the rest of the house, size wise it worked for us on a good sized block backing onto bushland. Location wasnt our "top" suburb intitially but realistically we couldnt afford that suburb! It is still a great suburb, 20 mins from CBD of Perth, 5 mins from the beaches and 10 mins from Fremantle which we love. Also within 10 mins of all our folks too.

So I suppose in the end it was our ideal location when I look at the above factors!

But in answer to the original question, I fell in love with the playroom first and then the rest of the house.
