Sensational Sydney Penthouse

Two Level Luxury Penthouse in the heart of the city!

Property Summary

Category: Apartment

Bedrooms: 4

Bathrooms: 4

Carport: Triple

This home was designed by Garth Barnett who upon my geeza at his website, is obviously part of a team that work on all things design, architectural etc. I think I can safely say that if I could afford an interior designer, and lived in Sydney,
I'd be trying to commission this lot to take care of me!

I just don't know where to begin with this apartment, it is def a style, dare I class it as one style, let's say "glamour", which I would aspire to in my own home if I were not so intent on having a slightly more relaxed style.

I think this kitchen/dining is just divine!

The windows in this room take the level of luxury up a notch.
This "luxurious" home is currently on the market
for $7.5 Million Big Ones.

My favourite colour atm is def taupe, and in hallways, dark like this one,
I think it is impossible to improve.

Here's the Master Plan!

A Classic Clayfield Residence

An elegant traditional home in QLD

Property Summary

Category: House

Bedrooms: 6

Bathrooms: 4

Garage: 4

Land: 1601.00sqm (approx)

Close to: Brisbane: 7km (direct line)

The facade of this home is misleading, outside, it's a bit outdated, but I think inside is perfect for modern day living...

This room is the basis of my appeal to this home. The floors are amazing, I love the contrast of white on dark timber floors...

Contemporary furnishings with a traditional feel...

Obviously the older part of the home, timber lined dens, this size, are no longer incorporated to new home designs... lovely

Hmm, a stained glass door to the ensuite, that's different...?

If I had to have an "all white" bedroom, this is how I'd like it to be, perhaps a bit more effort on the bedroom decor, but what a sensational bedroom, raised ceilings, windows right round, fire place in the corner... fabulous!Ok, the marble bath, probably expensive, but not the most modern of decor today (with gold taps!).. but could be updated by a professional I bet!

Look at those lovely timber lined WIR fitouts - I love this - If only I lived in Brisbane and had a spare $4 Million lying around, I could pick up this little gem which is currently for sale!

Personally I prefer this kind of "built in seating" rather than the current trend to put wicker everywhere... just imo!

Large Luxury Home with views of Adelaide

A contemporary Rostrevor residence

Property Summary

Category: House

Bedrooms: 5

Bathrooms: 4

Carport: 4

Close to: Adelaide: 10km (direct line)

Features: Inground Pool

There is no doubt that the more money you part with, the bigger a home you can buy, take this one for instance...
Custom designed by a local SA designer Larry Piscioneri.

Except for the chair, I think this aspect of the dining room is pretty fantastic! I'm not normally a fan of feature walls, but that rear blue hued feature wall looks amazing there! (imo!)

I love the little design features like the door that leads through that timber shiny feature wall... that would be awesome to see! Must be fabulous...

You gotta admit, the kitchen is kinda stunning!
I could swear that is two underbench sinks on the front island!

And check out that "eight" burner cooker!
ah, doesn't bother me, I never cook in such a way that I need 8 burners going at once anyway...

Another stunning home theatre, red curtains and all...

And yes, that long hallway above is their laundry - pretty good huh!

And you too could have this home with it's own lift (above) as it is currently on the market for $3.9 Million Big Ones!

It took me as strange that they posted more photos of their outdoor living area, than the inside of the home (relatively speaking).

AND What did the Agent say about the place you ask!

Swan River front home in Perth

Another Gorgeous Dalkeith home

Property Summary

Category: House

Bedrooms: 5

Bathrooms: 4

Garage: Double

Land: 1129.00sqm (approx)

Close to: Perth: 8km (direct line)

Dalkieth must be a beautiful part of inner Perth (I think around 10mins from the city), I find quite a few gorgeous homes around there, and I loved this home which had a genuine provincial feel to it...

I'm noticing these kind of "grand" entry doors more and more, they are obviously the new "in thing"!!

And this is what you see when you enter this home,
I really like this elegant feel.

And here is the most wonderful living room I've seen in ages... How great is that blue, you know what I'm talking about!

Oh and that view...

Funnily enough, the owners did not make the fixtures & fittings provincial (eg. very industrial style kitchen)
but the decor completely deceives you...

I'd say the owners of this lovely home are looking for well over the
$10 Million dollar mark, maybe over $12 Million Big Ones!

I loved the curtain application in this home...

What a cute idea, shutters to your ensuite,
I might do that in my new home here...

This is perfection to me, I think if you can decorate your main bathroom to this extent, you are kicking goals because if you actually look at the bathroom fixtures (eg loo, basin) they are fairly plain and simple, it's the large mirror and decor that gives it the style... very crafty actually!

Ok, this laundry is no Sarah Richardson laundry, but it's a good size, clean lines and with all the mod cons, did I say "good size"!!!

AND here's the Master Plans...

AND What did the Agent say about the home!

Dream Home By The River

Effortless style and elegance radiate from every corner of this beautiful family home. Located in a quiet Dalkeith cul-de sac, it offers a serene lifestyle against the picturesque backdrop of the Swan River.

Light, fresh and luxurious throughout, golden timber floors, soft white walls, high ceilings and elegant glass-panelled doors accentuate the home’s spacious design. Antique French timber doors welcome you on entry, providing just a taste of the imaginative range of styles artfully combined throughout the interior.

The formal living and dining rooms are on the ground floor, together with an open plan state-of-the-art kitchen and informal meals area. To embrace the sweeping views, the fourth wall of each of these rooms has been removed, allowing the stunning vista to spill in from outside. A huge sunroom stretches the entire length of the property, the perfect place to sit and watch the boats sail by. This level also has a two large bedrooms plus a living room (or study/bedroom) and two immaculate bathrooms.

Upstairs, the sumptuous master suite has a glamorous marble bathroom and huge windows with white shutters which can be retracted to maximise the glorious views. An additional room, currently a studio, could be used as a nursery or study. The property also has a separate annexe comprising a bedroom, bathroom and living area, offering a sense of privacy whilst retaining all the comforts of the main house.

At the rear, a secluded courtyard with Balinese pavilion is perfect for shady relaxation, and a charming decking area at the front of the property is ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying the sweeping river panorama below

It is a privilege to offer this exquisite home, superbly located in prestigious Dalkeith, close to everything and with gorgeous river views. Altogether a very desirable combination and an exciting opportunity!

NOTE:

As my internet provider gives only limited download capacity in my area (crap levels) at a VERY high cost (we pay over $200pm for our internet service here) I can't do as many posts for this blog as I used to, I hope to change that in the future!!!

This home built in 1863 is "country" all the way - but I still loved it...
I think it's the internal colours!

The timber lined ceilings are a bit scary tho!

OK, it's not the fanciest home I've blogged about, but I have the feeling that this place would be amazing in real life... (as opposed to the blogosphere!)

Pretty good views of Daylesford, about an hour out of Melbourne, the most gorgeous place to visit, with it's beautiful town main street.

This home is currently on the market for over $2 Million Big Ones.

AND here's the Master Plan...

And here's what the Agent said about it!

Another Million Dollar Sydney Penthouse
(no shortage of them these days!)

Property Summary

Category: Apartment

Bedrooms: 3

Bathrooms: 3

Garage: Triple

This little penthouse is currently asking for expressions of interest on the market for around $8-10 Million Big Ones!

I like this room, I particularly like the fact, that despite this apartment being a $10 Million penthouse, it has a simple timber bookshelf for photos. I find that really classy, much more so than an expensive marble built in etc...

I wonder how hot these rooms get in summer (specially Sydney's summers!)... I guess it doesn't matter, you'd just turn on the cooling!

Look at those huge urns on the balcony - wowza!!!
Love em'
In fact I'm loving the whole bedroom, the colour on the wall, the painting, the simply furnishings, the view,
and of course, the urns!

I thought for an apartment alfresco area, it was great to see detailing even in the ceiling of the alfresco sitting area!

As expected, with a penthouse, the views are quite extensive and being so close to the Sydney CBD, you see The Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, city skyline etc...
very nisch indeed!
