HouseHunting: Turramurra temptation

Husband normally says “Yes, yes” and ignores my property fetishes, but he loved this one. All that lovely, natural light. It’s a bit like a Hobbit home at our current abode, dim and cool.

And that pool – awesome!

There are just a couple of problems with this rare shared fantasy – the auction is next week and two weeks after that it’s Christmas. So we’d have no chance selling our place in time to finance it. It’s such a pity – the place is an absolute bargain – Domain leads me to believe I could get it for around $1.1million.

Oh, there’s one more problem – it’s a hike from Turramurra station. Actually, that’s two problems – the hike and Turramurra.
