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...

Lovely old period home,
in Hawthorn, "period central" in Victoria!!
hehe.



I wanted to do a post on a great Terrace transformation
because they are so difficult to work with.
Narrow, not usually very deep blocks,
and most I note have upper story additions,
but this one didn't, and I think they did really
well to give it everything they did
(see the floorplan below).





This is a contemporary extension for a 100 yr old house!
I'm not a huge fan of modern black/white/red decor,
but I notice that a lot of people are.



I'm pretty sure that's white EVERYWHERE!
Inside & out!





AND here's the Master Plan!
AND here's what the Agent said about it!

Victorian Transformation

Blending Victorian charm with an impressive new extension & full renovation gives this single fronted home top marks in this desirable Hawthorn neighbourhood. Lovingly renovated & carefully planned, the designer interior reveals period features blended seamlessly with modern features. The clever floor plan with high 3.6 metre decorative ceilings offers a chef's kitchen with European appliances, open plan living/dining with an abundance of light through cafe doors & highlight windows, ducted heating throughout & ample decking for summer entertaining. The main bedroom has a decorative FP, WIR & luxurious ensuite. Bedrooms two & three share a private north-facing courtyard accessible through double glass doors that invite light & fresh air. The family bathroom offers a deep bath for soaking & a large skylight for natural light. Almost as impressive as the interior is the position of this pretty home. Located a short walk from Glenferrie Road shops, tram, train, elite schools, Swinburne University & parkland, this great property combines luxury & location in one package.

Although I'm not a huge fan of the furniture either, I think they've done a beautiful job with lovely floors, creamy walls and keeping a lot of the heritage features. Once the furniture is gone this will look like a completely different house!

Have you seen its placement? - At an intersection with cross through traffic. Not good fengshui either. Truly sarrow floor-plan. Pokey rooms.

hi anon, it's not at a cross road, take a look at the link to the add (under my PRICE GUIDE - it's always linked to my source of the house). The rooms aren't pokey at all, not considering the style of the home, I think this is a fab refurb, and who cares about feng shui, looks good to me mate.
