Stalking 2 years apart

Posted on Mon, 12 Dec 2016 by midcenturyjo

I’m stalking a classic 60s pad in Melbourne’s salubrious suburb of Toorak but it’s a case of déjà vu. I stalked this home 2 years ago in a leftovers post. As the building is being sold as a “knock it down and build an architect designed 5 bedroom, pool and 3 car upgrade” you can see that nothing has changed to the shell. One thing that has is the styling. The current incarnation is all scandi modern while in its previous life it was mid century minimal. Which do you prefer? I know that I’d be happy with either. OK, OK I like the scandi better but that’s not the point. I think I like the old 60s groove better than any Toorak McMansion that would replace it. Link for the current sale here and the previous sale here.

The previous sale…

I'm with you–it's better than any McMansion that would have replaced it. Not crazy about the ceilings, but so many other details make up for them–like that beautiful kitchen. Also agree on the Scandinavian over MCM.

I hope they don't knock it down- I think it has yet another incarnation in it's future!

So fun to see it in two versions- WHY would someone knock this place down?!
