Hello

This blog is my *virtual magazine* of stunning homes in Australia currently for sale. The homes are not necessarily perfect (like in a magazine shoot) so you need to forgive some obvious mistakes, and just enjoy seeing how others live, perhaps even take some inspiration from here n' there! (if you see your home here, take a bow because I search high and low before I finally decide to post a home for my blog!) THANKS FOR DROPPING BY...

What a classy facade!
This home must be even better in person...


I think this traditional paving is absolutely gorgeousl...


And inside the colours are soft, almost feminine...
Just Beautiful to me! Have a look at the gorgeous dining room wall feature below...



Beautiful timber floors, it's advertisement doesn't list a price for sale, I'm guessing around $6 Million Big Ones!



There's that splash of red I've been seeing around lately in bedrooms I love - maybe I'd better do that
in my own bedroom now!





AND What did the Agent have to say about it!

“St Minver” - Gracious Golden Mile living

This is gracious living on the Golden Mile’s most charming tree-lined boulevard, renovated with a fine appreciation for the detail that makes these substantial period originals so desirable on land approx 1002sqm/10,785sqft. This five bedroom plus library-sized home-office, 4 bathroom home showcases fine formal rooms including a full-width lounge opening to a deep front verandah above broad lawns, and a sophisticated dining room – each with a sandstone fireplace.

Designed to fit a family, casual living flows from a lounge area featuring a fireplace faced full-height with Victorian limestone, to a dining area with french doors to paved pool-side gardens set with a dual-heated, glass-fenced pool.

Accommodation is equally family-wise, with a fine first-floor master-suite featuring dual WIRs (one beautifully fitted and size as a full dressing-room with bay-window-seat), plus an flexible fifth bedroom complete with sitting-area and ensuite in a separately accessed wing – perfect to serve as guest or nanny quarters or as accommodation for dependent in-laws or independent children.

Finished with an eye to enduring quality, this elegant home features a rich mix of Australian hardwood floors and fine stones including specially-imported Northern Italian granite for the Smeg kitchen, Victorian limestone for the bathrooms, and sandstone fireplaces for the formal rooms.

Appointed to beyond-prestige specifications (with zoned sound system servicing internal living and outdoor entertaining areas, ducted zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning/heating, ducted vacuum, video-intercom, alarm and 15,000L underground –water-storage), the home also includes family-wise touches including fitted wine-cellaring, bedroom roof-storage and through-access double garage with pool-facility WC.

Set behind auto-gates just a three minute stroll from the beachfront, this is pure Golden grace.

This is wonderful - I suspect it would be on the large side for my needs, but I love the style.
