Our neighbourhood has never been one of the standout areas in Melbourne. It was always the place for the wharfies to live and the lower class used to cause a bit of trouble in the place. Therefore it was pretty affordable for us when we were looking to buy a house.
But these days it is a different story. Because of it's proximity to the city it has become a mecca for the white collar folk who work in the city and don't want to travel but still own a house. So house prices have really taken off. People are spending money on old houses and doing great extensions and renovations. So I love to take walks and see who is doing what and the great ideas people have for their houses.
I have just snapped a few photos of places the I regularly go past to show you some that have gabbed my attention.

| This double fronted weatherboard in West Footscray always makes me smile. It is always so neat and tidy. I love the double front doors and the quirky letterbox with the smiley face. |

| The colours in this Yarraville Single Fronted home are very complimentary and professional. |
 |
| Now this double storey doubled fronted house in Kingsville has always been a favourite of ours. I used to be the colour of the fence you can still see, but recently was painted this brave green and it has a navy blue and white trim. |

This is my favourite home in the area. Not only is it close to Cruikshank park but it has gorgeous architectural features. I love the mix between the brick and weatherboards and the chunky framed windows. LOVE IT!

So, that is just a few of my favs. I had more but my camera somehow corrupted them so they can wait until another day.
Happy Valentines Day everyone!
Cheers,
Gorgeous homes! x
ReplyDeleteAren't they! The owner of the last house even asked if we wanted to have a look through. I haven't taken him up on the offer yet though. I'd love to see inside though.
