Not your normal beach shack. I’m stalking a sophisticated, elegant yet relaxed home. A mature house that has allowed its owners to enjoy life simply and stylishly. And all this just a short stroll to the ocean and golf course if you can tear yourself away from the beautiful courtyards and garden. Good houses never grow old they just look for new owners and a new lease on life. Link here while it lasts.

For those who have lamented in comments recently of the propensity of Australians to tack on the equivalent of a law firm’s modern waiting room to the back of an historic home here is a little traditional stalking. All be it sleek and white and cool. Woollahra, Sydney. Link here while it lasts.

I’m stalking one of the first modern buildings in Australia… Stanhill, designed by Frederick Romberg and built in 1948. On the third floor of this amazing building, part multi-storied urban living, part modernist monument is a 2 bedroom apartment that has undergone cosmetic changes but still harks back to its design beginnings. Want to live in a piece of history? Link here while it lasts. (Thanks Markus!)

I’ve always loved this home. Balanced on a ridge line in Brisbane with some of the best views in the city is a classic Queenslander home. An extension by Brisbane architect Owen Architecture seems to tumble down the steep slope, block stacked on block with references to the historic habit of building boxy little rooms between the soaring timber stumps this house would have once perched on. I cannot tell you the number of times I have travelled this road and strained to see inside. This is a home I have stalked in real life and now it is for sale. I can’t even daydream about moving into this one because it would break my heart that I couldn’t. The link for the listing is here and you can see more on the architects’ website here.

Cottage charm and designer flair. I’m stalking a cute little timber house in Bondi Junction with loads of light, stylish open plan, lovely lush garden and a killer inner city Sydney location. Love the white walls, the Black Japan floors, the quirky stairs here there and everywhere, the light over the dining table and the bedroom bay window. I’m moving in! Link here while it lasts.
