fifi69 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Been a bit of talk of these the past few days on the forum, so along with my other morning doggie walk snaps, these are a few of my neighbours houses Not mine. For the area these are quite standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I like McMansions but there are lots who don't. I just wish they had them in Cairns but like I said on another thread they would probably blow away when the winds pick up lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 love it PQ love what you can do with house here. def beats the like of Barrett and Wimpey in the UK for mass productions Totally agree. I still prefer double storey houses over single storey but the bungalow style seem to be the favourite here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernbird Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 No McMansions in my street. Took this for the rainbow but shows the 2 houses across the street from mine and mine is no different really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your old terraced houses ain't got that much money in them The one in Narre is prob a million but there are plenty out there that aren't, did you see the one we had in Melbourne and that's from an "old terraced house" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsquare Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I don't like the others but this one has character. It reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wrights "Falling Water". The best things in life aren't things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jac2011 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Love viewing houses and dreaming for the future, so thankyou. Some of these prob are not achievable for the majority but I don't see the harm in looking. Just because these aren't some peoples taste does not mean that they are not beautiful houses to some. The thing I love from looking at property in Australia is there is something for everyone, some have culture, some have a young surf style vibe and some are modern. The thing I dislike about English houses is they all seem to be the same. I have moved around the country and no matter what City I live in the housing seems the same. Maybe I have lived here too long already! If people don't like a thread, why do they feel the need to belittle others posts? Are you so bored, you have nothing better to do? I really hope Oz isn't full of people like you when I get there. Feel free to fly home! Edited August 22, 2013 by jac2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best things in life aren't things. Very stylish, I think that house looks great, but then if we all liked the same things life would be boring.

ItchyFeet76 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I much prefer new-builds, and I personally think that 'second-hand' homes in Australia look rather grotty and dated compared to second-hand ones in the UK. Of course, I haven't seen them in person (other than my friend's when I was over there) - just photos on real estate websites, but then the new builds were all on the same websites too. It's horses for courses - if we all preferred the same style of house then they would become unaffordable! Old houses have more period features and quirkiness, but require a lot more work and maintenance, and 'quirkiness' can often be a realtor's term for 'dodgy'. And just because new houses have no history, that doesn't (in my 'humble' opinion) make them boring by any means. A house is as interesting as you make it - just like a house isn't a home until you make it one. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon4017 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 One of my MUCK Mansions... About 14 km from the garnet diggings, Centralia, NT Cheers, Bobj. I like what you've done with the place.

Xenon4017 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Here is one in Narre Warren[ATTACH=CONFIG]20582[/ATTACH] I don't mind these houses per se, but what's with the Louis XIV birdbath? Is that the virgin Mary taking a dip? What amazes me is that even in these top of the range builds you hardly ever see double glazing. @PomQueen. If you want a thread to cheer people up, what about a competition for the best, and tackiest, home bar. When we were looking for houses on RealEstate some real humdingers would pop up now and then. And I'm willing to bet that the worst offender are in WA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
