Stalking rich brick

Posted on Tue, 4 Sep 2012 by midcenturyjo

3 levels of Paddington, Sydney terrace house redesigned as a luxurious inner city pad. Rough brick walls sit alongside velvet, leather, silk and crystal while in the kitchen Calcutta marble meets polished concrete. Rising through it all the star of the show is the glass and steel staircase. A house that needs more sympathetic photography to really convince me but oh my the staircase against that wall…. brilliant. Link here while it lasts.

Stalking old stone in Sydney

Posted on Thu, 30 Aug 2012 by midcenturyjo

A tiny 1840 colonial terrace in Darlinghurst, Sydney. All that wonderful old sandstone. I just want to run my fingers across its rough hewn surface. My love of old houses continues and I always squeal when I find an old beauty when I’m real estate stalking. And the interiors? In my fantasy (there is always a story that I concoct about the unknown sellers) the house is cool bachelor pad. Rough hewn and a little retro with golden brown tones and an intriguing history. The house. I’m talking about the house. The bachelor? Hmmm…… Link here while it lasts.

Just kidding… about the house that is… and your birthday is the 24th and I’m a day late but nice house eh? Historic stables with modern extension in East Melbourne. Just a few hundred meters and you are in the CBD of Melbourne, one of the most amazing cities in the world. Bluestone, brick, timber, steel and glass. Yum! Needs a little touch of Kim style here and there (ditch that wallpaper, move in your new leather sofa and please do something with that bedroom) but the bones are fabulous. Happy belated birthday buddy!

P.S. If someone really does want to buy this house for Kim you can find it for sale here.

Stalking dark and light …

Posted on Thu, 16 Aug 2012 by midcenturyjo

… and old and new. An Edwardian era home with an up to the minute extension. I must admit that the dark living room is my favourite… or maybe the glass walls in the extension… or maybe a dressing room with that much, well, room. Real estate stalking in Kew, Melbourne. Link here while it lasts.

I still have writer’s block. I just don’t want to play the game today. I have the energy for real estate stalking but not for writing copy. Call the doctor I must be sick! Enough of my excuses. I know you come here for the room porn so I present to you this yummy Darlinghurst terrace house. Link here while it lasts.
