I’m stalking in the Melbourne suburb of Armadale. A renovated Edwardian red brick semi with a modern extension… the type of property that always draws me in. You know me. I can’t resist a heritage facade with a little modern something hidden right behind. Just  a few more pieces of art and a slightly bigger backyard and I’d be happy. Link here while it lasts.

A glimpse of a very contemporary addition to the side of the facade is a dead giveaway that this home in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North is not what it seems from the street. I’m stalking an Edwardian era red brick home with a industrial modern extension. Love the play of the black steel against the brick and the monumental kitchen island with its rich green tiles and old timber beams. Link here while it lasts.

I’m stalking masculine, minimal and a Murphy bed in inner-city Sydney. Thankfully the fold-up bed is only in the guest room. A two bedroom apartment in an Art Deco warehouse building with bespoke joinery and high-spec finishes all within easy walking distance of the centre of one of the world’s most vibrant cities? Just might be my definition of the perfect bachelor pad. Link here while it lasts.

A Gothic Revival facade that dates from 1873, a modern extension by Austin Maynard Architects and an amazing garden. I think I might just have found my dream home. A few tweaks to the furniture and artwork and I’d move in in a heartbeat. Shame I’ll never be able to afford it. Ah well that’s what stalking is for! You’ll find the link to this Northcote, Melbourne home here while it lasts.

P.S. You must watch the video. It shows you so much more of this wonderful house.

It’s almost de rigueur to have a pool in Australia. Well if not a strict rule then a definite want. The idea of spilling out of an open plan family living/dining/kitchen area to an al fresco entertaining space beside a pool is top of our wish list. My wish list would be complete if there was also a heritage building attached. An inner-city Sydney suburb would sweeten the deal. Something a little like this Paddington house. I don’t even have to live in the house. Perhaps they’ll let me take up residence in the studio at the end of the garden. Link here while it lasts.
