Stalking a church

Posted on Fri, 27 Jun 2014 by midcenturyjo

It’s no secret that Kim and I worship a church conversion. We love to see these old buildings have a second coming. We haven’t found very many lately but the wait is over. It’s time to sing the praises of my latest stalking target. The little old church is a one bedroom apartment while the church hall out the back has become an open plan home with loads of light and space. Live in the hall and run a holiday let in the old church? My idea of heaven. It’s in Mount Hawthorn, Perth in Western Australia. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking leftovers

Posted on Sat, 21 Jun 2014 by midcenturyjo

It’s that time of the week. Time to stalk the leftovers, the ones that made the cut then didn’t because I hummed and hawed and changed my mind. Why? I’m very fussy. Call me particular, finicky, choosy and hard to please. Not quite right, bad photos, I need more photos please, house is amazing furniture is deplorable or no furniture at all! Can’t quite put my finger on it listings with something that has me nodding “yes”. This week’s finds include a couple of 70s gems just waiting for a second chance including one with a velour ceiling, my usual smattering of tiny terrace houses and, because it is winter here, outdoor spaces to remind me of summer.

Stalking a little blue terrace

Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2014 by midcenturyjo

It’s no secret that I love these little terrace houses. I love the way that people live their lives in homes that are only a few metres wide. How do they cram in all their “stuff”? Do they look cluttered? Is it necessarily a spartan life or a hoarder’s horror? I wouldn’t be able to resist stalking this powder blue end of terrace with its perky red door if I was walking past in real life. What’s inside? Can I peak through the window? Thank goodness for virtual stalking! Come on in. Let’s look around. The link for this Surry Hills, Sydney home is here while it lasts.

Stalking 1

Sunshine streams in through the stairwell of this teeny, tiny Paddington, Sydney home. Stylish living in a space that is barely 3.5m wide. It’s the tiny gems I like the most when I’m real estate stalking. Link here while it lasts.

It may be perfectly formed It may be stylish. They may compare it to Coco Chanel. A little black dress. One thing is for sure. This Potts Point, Sydney apartment (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a prime location) has a high end couture price tag. $3.75 million AUD. Yes that’s millions. Gasp. I just choked on my Chanel pearl necklace. Link here will it lasts.
