For Sale...some of my favourite homes. Ever.

A couple of weeks ago, I was doing a little real estate stalking, and found that some of my all-time favourite houses were for sale. Many of these have been featured in magazines, and all share the same, luxury beach house style. One is also the work of my favourite architect, Walter Barda, whose designs, in my opinion, capture that quintessential Aussie beach house vibe.


 1. 4 Nabilla Road, Palm Beach NSW








 2. 35 Careel Head Road, Avalon NSW






3. 149 Hudson Pde, Avalon NSW. Designed by Walter Barda. Divine.







 4, 174 Hudson Parade, Clareville NSW

Wonder if I could convince Mr Barda to move to Brisbane? I think his designs would work just perfectly up here.

Have a great day everyone, I know I will - I'm catching up with the lovely author of one of my favourite blogs. Will share all the goss tomorrow!

  2. I'll take all of the above thanks!
    You're right Kerri, these designs would really suit our neck of the woods. I'm really surprised there aren't more like them here.

  4. All quite similar and all quite lovely and all a little out of my reach and in the wrong darn place! I think we have similar taste though - they all seem so sunny and bright and relaxed yet stylish. Very liveable.... Ann x

  6. Such beautiful homes. I could quite happily move in to any of them. I was surprised when you said the architect wasn't from Queensland as the homes said Queensland to me. Thanks for showing the pictures:)

  9. Do you think my hubby would mind the travel to and from work here in Perth if we were to, say buy a property at 149 Hudson parade NSW.
    This home is divine. My fave.

  12. Morning Kerri....i needed this post this morning!
    It's 6 degrees here today and my boiler in this big old country house has been on the blink since saturday {ie: no heating and no hot water!}...
    I grew up in Avalon....& this little moment of home is just enough to warm me up till the boys here fix it today!
    That house on Claireville is an absolute favourite....wonder if i could buy it from here- would the hubster at work notice?? Then you would have somewhere you loved to visit in Sydney!!
    thanks for the GORGEOUS images hon!!
