How Elise turned a squashy, messy terrace into an inner west retreat

Key points

• Property executive Elise Cockerill has listed her Camperdown terrace for sale at auction this Saturday. She bought the home in 2009, when it had been renovated cheaply.
• Over the years she restored its period details, rebuilt the rear and added a new kitchen and third bedroom. Cockerill says she plans to downsize, and she will stay in the Newtown area.
• Agent Tina O'Connor says buyers from nearby hospitals and the eastern suburbs have shown interest.
