Stalking in the hinterland

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2015 by midcenturyjo

The best of both worlds. A bushland setting back from the ocean. A tree change with easy access to a sea change. The location is Flinders, a town south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. I’m still stalking but instead of rolling waves it’s rolling hills. The house is by b.e. architecture and now leaves me with a conundrum. Which property will I buy from the proceeds of the bank heist I will have to pull to be able to afford either of them? Link here while it lasts.

Stalking by the sea

Oh the view! Oh the position metres from the beach! Oh the house! Oh my! I have no words to describe this house by Clinton Murray with gardens by Will Dangar. I’m stalking Newport on the northern beaches of Sydney and I’m planning a bank heist to finance this sea change fantasy. Thanks to Andrea my stalking buddy for the listing. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking in Western Australia

Posted on Thu, 26 Mar 2015 by midcenturyjo

I’ve crossed the whole continent of Australia and ended up in the west. I’m real estate stalking in West Leederville, Perth, Western Australia. An ultra modern and ultra stylish extension to a period cottage. How clever to replace the lost garden space gobbled up by the increased size of the house with a roof terrace. That’s where you’d find me of an early evening, taking the the breezes and a glass or two of bubbly.  Link here while it lasts.

Greenhouse

I could almost forego my house for this greenhouse. A modern, steel and glass take on the traditional hothouse. Pavonetti Office of Design Austin Texas

 

Cooler days

Waiting. Longing. For cooler days. Until then I’ll dream that my backyard holds a cool and verdant surprise like this. Toorak Garden by Eckersley Garden Architecture.
