Mid-Week House Snoop...

One of my favourite times of the week - 'Mid-Week House Snoop'! I am a nosey parker, busy body by nature so hopefully at this stage of the week if I get it out of my system I no longer feel the desire to snoop in the weekend papers or agent windows on the weekend! This week is no exception for snooping... my two best friends have recently been in the thick of the real estate market, 1 of them has sold, & bought, & moved and is now renovating, and the other dear friend has sold, and is moving to lease a property, whilst they find & buy their land, to then build their 'forever home'... So needless to say my lustful real estate affair with Domain.com.au & RealEstate.com.au continues, despite the pleas from my existing home, whom I still love dearly [of course]... but somehow always keep an eye out on another post [zip] code!!

Striking Entry - Red Front Door...
I adore the oversize drum pendant over the island kitchen bench

Stylish neuatral palette makes the combined living/ kitchen space flow

Great space for enteringin and family meals in the Dining Room

Fabulous outdoor space with built-in seating

Outdoor Entertaining - undercover for all year round enjoyment

I can't resist a near level lawn with poll and seamless glass fencing

A simple calm atmospehere for this 'master' bedroom

New, clean & white contemporary bathroom

French doors lead to a balcony from one of the bedroomsused as a nursery

More spacious bedrooms...

I love this home located in Paddington [Brisbane] Queensland, it's clean, fresh & 'Hampton's-like' decor/ colour scheme & airiness really grab me... not to mention it's feeling of spaciousness as well as an undercover outdoor entertaining are & lush lawn with [saltwater] pool in the rear [back] yard...Something like this would certainly encourage me to migrate north!
