Photos courtesy of desiretoinspireAs read on desiretoinspire, this adorable (but moody) house front hides a light and airy, modern interior. I mean, just look at that backyard! (You know how I love me an urban garden.)
Oh, and it recently sold for 1.5 mill AUS. So it may be a while before it's back on the market.
Thoughts?

Lots of houses are like this here - our new house is kind of like that too - a modern reno hiding behind a victorian or edwardian front. Usually it's because the original houses are so tiny that they need to be extended, so the extension will open the house up in a modern way.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a gingerbread house from the front! Cookiessssss!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It makes me wish I'd never bought an item of clothing and poured all my money into a property that I could sell for 1.5million!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteI see myself being single the rest of my life, so it's perfect size.
Deceiving! I take back what I said about the size.

Most councils here insist on keeping a facade of 'heritage' buildings in tact, but often let you do whatever you please to the rest. It's a very strange version of heritage preservation, but it still produces some beautiful results!
ReplyDeleteI think it's beautiful and adorable. I love how people meld traditional with modern.
ReplyDeleteSkye: Your new house is a beauty! They do this sort of thing in TO too, but somehow it doesn't seem as impressive :-)
ReplyDeleteWendy: It's all gingerbread on the front and bizness on the back :-)
Kate: Oh, I know you don't mean that!
Raven: I know - it's totally deceiving!
Kit: I guess they can't prevent you from doing whatever you want to the inside of a place, or no one would ever spend 1.5 mill!
E: That's a personal fave - old architecture, modern interior.
