Pardon me. I’m stalking again. I thought something a little more contemporary this time. A home in the Melbourne suburb of Northcote. With a palette of natural colours and finishes it borrows views and a sense of space from the adjoining parkland. Favourite parts? Both sitting rooms, the transition from inside to out and those “stolen” views. Designed by award-winning architect Robert Simeoni you can find the link here while it lasts.

It’s no secret that I have an addiction to period homes. I love the sense of history, the architectural details, the layers of living that these old places bring with them. Add in a leafy, almost overgrown garden and art, art and more art and a real estate agent has me mesmerised like a rabbit in a spotlight. Stalking in Paddington, Sydney is always dangerous for me. I want it all! I’m greedy for little terraces big on real life style just like this little cutie. Link here while it lasts.

It’s raining here. Raining, raining, raining. In biblical quantities. What better time to plonk myself in front of the computer and real estate stalk? I’m in Bondi, Sydney. A contemporary home by architect Uri Turgeman and interior designer Shellee Gordoun. A series of rooms in open plan stretching either side of a cental garden atrium and leading out to the garden. Casual elegance with interest brought in through finishes and texture. Light, bright, white and… blue. My imagination is running riot. How would this space look with red or green or black or yellow? A good example of how a neutral base lends itself to painterly strokes of colour to change things up. Link here while it lasts.

This traditional stone house in Adelaide is full of surprises. The first hint might just be the large, contemporary art pieces in the entry. Perhaps the modern, sculptural furniture in its more traditional rooms. Its sleek kitchen and family room extension leading to the outdoor entertaining and pool are not quite you would expect from its prim and proper stone facade. I’m real estate stalking in North Adelaide, South Australia. As an art lover I would happily move in. Link here while it lasts.

I’m in Sydney for the trade fairs and I’m stalking in Melbourne. I could have arranged that a little. Perhaps I could have made it to an open for inspection if I had chosen a Sydney home. No instead I am in South Yarra in my virtual world. Pity I can’t see this one in the flesh. So much is promised in the photos, so much unseen. A little snooping in person would be the only thing that could satisfy me. Link here while it lasts.
