 Well, I've had the joyous moment of uploading a new

post in Blogger, via their new API (interface), 

and it is quite nice to be able to upload all 10 images in one go!

I must admit...

But it is all new to me, so slowly does it...

And today, in Australia, of course is Anzac Day

and most of us who have had relatives in Aus for over 80yrs

know of someone who has fought in the war,

 As I come from a mixture of convict stock and 

immigrants in the late 1800's, my ancestry most certainly

lived through all the recent wars.

I have a few relatives who fought in the wars, 

and two died in aciton.

Both in WW1.

And of course, if not for these selfless, couragous people,

Australia wouldn't be what it is today,

maybe it would be a moden day Japan,

who knows,

so there you go, how lucky we are...

And this beautiful home is dedicated to all those 

selfless wonderful men who died for us overseas,

and who survived to come home too.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

 Yep, I bet they all wished they could have come home

to a house like this, overlooking a golf course,

to live out their days on the Gold Coast, QLD.

Make sure you "retweet" it here if you love it too!

 I'm not normally a fan of black and white in styling,

but I thought this home was beautiful,

don't know how I'd go living there with my two

youngens, under 5, with all that white!

Yeah it's not a huge backyard,

unless you include the whole golf course,

10 minutes from the Gold Coast Beaches,

I'm there in a heart beat, 

backyard or no backyard!

Tho a pool would have been nice!

What a spectacular Gold Coast Golf Course living estate, I wish it were me,,, no really, I do..

And here's the Master Plan of the townhouses - one floor or two?

This home is quite spectacular,
although very contemporary,
it has a wonderful mix of textures & natural colours.

I get the feeling that this home would
be more impressive in person tho...

I think the front facade is a bad colour choice,
easily fixed with a can of paint tho!

Def a modern version of the 60's sunroom!

I really love the spacious living,
all white, cream and marble!

What a lovely parent's retreat off the master,
doesn't that look nice!

Tweet it here if you like!

Nice little marble wall there!

Phew, it's ok guys, it's got a lift.

AND here's the Master Plan!

AND here's what the Agent said about it!

A CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED PRIVATE SANCTUARY!

Superbly positioned, in the much coveted south eastern corner of Adelaide and considered by many as the premier spot in this wonderful city. The East Terrace parklands on your doorstep, cafes, shops and restaurants of Hutt Street within a 3 minute walk, central to everything and yet serenely quiet - it doesn’t get much better than this!

Designed by multi-award winning 'DESIGN INTEGRITY', this freestanding Torrens Title town home (completed October 2011) sits comfortably on 220sqm of land and provides a built form of some 330sqm over 2 levels. A super quiet lift is positioned alongside of the wide staircase, providing easy access to the upper floor.

This stunning new residence with its’ practical floor plan is carefully designed to achieve functionality, cocoon its’ owners, with extreme attention to detail and top of the range appointments, displaying a masterpiece of residential architecture.

Principally a home of 3 bedrooms, 2 +1/2 bathrooms, open plan living, laundry, extensive outdoor living spaces and oversize double garage, it is the configuration and disposition of its spaces which sets it apart from the typical, or ordinary.

Keyless entry is through the beautifully crafted wrought iron security gate, operated with your i-phone (or a small remote). The wide gallery style foyer, lime stone flooring, coffered ceiling and feature wall paneling set the scene of what is to come.

A practical, light-filled dual purpose room adjacent to the front garden is an ideal private retreat and home office. Perfect for those wishing to work from home, this elegant room offers a flat-screen television and computer monitor recessed into Nyatah feature wall panels. The ‘study nook’ hidden behind floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors when not in use, is an excellent working area. There is additional room for wine storage and other items.

The indulgent master suite is soothing and elegant, relaxed, yet extremely functional and it enjoys a private, landscaped insect free courtyard, accessed through floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall bi-folds. There is 7 lineal metres of full height wardrobes. The fully air-conditioned en-suite bathroom includes a deep, freestanding bath and overlooks a beautifully sculptured magnolia tree. A curved wall shower alcove adds dimension, along with the wide marble bench top with double basins, vertical vanity units and a fully recessed toilet (for privacy).

Bedroom 2 is double in size and would be the perfect guest treat. Complete with an opaque glass wall and door & its’ own outlook to a private courtyard to the southern side of the home. There are 2 x twin-door built-in 2-pac lacquered robes & a built-in dresser.

A 2nd bathroom is positioned directly across the passage from bedroom 2, fitted with the same stunning décor displayed in the en-suite, including a separate vanity area, shower & toilet.

Kitchenette facilities are provided on the ground floor. These practical facilities include a bar fridge, storage cupboards plus a wide, twin-door linen press.

Direct entry into the home is provided from the fully-tiled floor, double garage, including a double, automatically-controlled panel-lift door. The spacious garage also includes ample depth for your gym equipment & enjoys air-conditioning from the ducted unit. A glass door from the garage opens to the service area on the northern boundary.

Upper Floor:- Enter a whole new world of ‘super stylish’ living with highly impressive, light-filled, large open plan areas – perfect for the ‘Entertainers’ and for those who enjoy ‘complete privacy’ in their home.

A guest powder room is located at the top of the stairs & adjacent to the lift, beautifully appointed with chic finishes.

The superb, multi-function laundry is adjacent to the kitchen.

The sensational angled kitchen is a Chef’s dream. It is fitted with 'top' range Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop, stainless steel, side opening under-bench oven, microwave, combi/steamer & dishwasher. There is an integrated fridge & large inline exhaust fan over the cooktop (super quiet & ducted to the exterior). The seamless lacquered cabinetry provides extensive pantry space and blends beautifully with the high quality surrounds.

Enjoy entertaining in the elegant & spacious, open plan style dining & living areas. Complete with a romantic, pebbled gas flame-fire and concealed flat-screen television. There is total home automation with built-in speakers, camera intercom and full security – operated through an i-pad.

A most luxurious and calming, fully tiled, insect-free outdoor entertaining terrace with room for lots of guests connects seamlessly via massive disappearing sliding doors with the living spaces and kitchen. A concealed barbeque is plumbed to mains gas, complete with storage. A bespoke lime stone carving (2 m x 3 m) and low-line water feature create the perfect mood for chilling out. This breathtaking facility is the perfect area to retreat from the outside world, overlooking St. Johns Anglican Church on Halifax Street and sit-back, surrounded by lush, mature planting.

Extras include:- Ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning (individually controlled), automated watering system, 3.8 kilowatt solar system (sufficient to be energy neutral), high-tech glazing throughout including double glazing, C-bus lighting and touch-plate switches, i-pad controlled Rhapsody 24/7 music access, Foxtel cabling & gas instantaneous hot water service.

OK, I'm in mixed minds about this one...
I posted it because of it's uniqueness,
but of course, it is a little "mod" for my style,
but hey, can't always post the pretty traditional ones right!!

I can't stand ceiling pendant light fittings
that disperse the light onto the ceiling
all funny because of the glass...
I see it a lot, I find it distracting..
Does anyone else agree on that???
or is it just me?

Yeah $3 Mill for this,
wonder if they'll get it!
Tweet it if you like it too!

Yes, dramatic,
but I still liked it,
maybe not the deep purple,
but the contrast!

AND here's the Master Plan!
