| This Victorian terrace is two doors along from yesterday's apartment block. This little ripper is zoned Mixed-Use-10. It has seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two kitchens, over its three floors. It screams "boarding house". It sold in March 2003 for $790,000, and again in December 2014 for $1,590,000. Doubled its price in just under 12 years. Once again, garaging is not mentioned, and only a courageous soul would count on street-parking in Surry Hills. I bet the hallways are littered with bicycles! Diane made a comment about weekend excursions, to the beach perhaps, or up to the mountains. Both those locales are well serviced by train and bus. To get around the city, late at night, most inner-city residents walk or catch a taxi. Then, for excursions further afield, there is always a hire car. The cost of buying, running, and garaging a private car is an expensive alternative. |  |

The colours make me cringe.
*chuckle * ... but so so Surry Hills, Jim.
It certainly is a memorable facade!!
Unique and wonderful.
( I just wish they had painted it in either orange OR red.... not both)
So great Julie!
Someone needs to make up their mind on the paint job!
Cars are expensive especially if you have to pay for garaging. But most of us don't actually do the maths and just have cars.
Garages are selling for close to $100,000 in the inner-city. A garage is like an extra bed-room on a house. But I agree: most people do not do their sums, and allow emotion to rule.
