| I would love to know the provenance behind this structure! It stands in High Street, Willoughby, and last traded in August 2001 for $660,000. At the moment, it is valued at about $2,000,000 give or take $200,000. As you might suspect, the front is deceptive as Google Maps reveals it to be an extensive property, with banks of solar-panels to heat an outdoor pool. It sits on 672 square metres of land. Willoughby is an old suburb, and weather-board houses, although not rare, are not a dime a dozen, either. But, what is with the shingles, and the key-hole cutout? |
Julie, You have heard the old adage, have you not. . .curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. I think you need to do some more exploring :)
ReplyDeleteI have only heard the first part of that saying, Kate. It is a challenge to find an acceptable meaning from the entire saying now.
ReplyDeleteYou know me ... always exploring!
Maybe the builder was a locksmith Julie
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, I love Gail's take on the keyhole cutout! I'll watch this space to see what you find out about house next. Greetings Jo
ReplyDeleteThat arched, shingled portico is quite unusual Julie.
ReplyDeleteHas a very European feel about it … including the sloping roof to shed the snow.
ReplyDeleteI like the design- very unusual.
