So-So Living

The O'Connor Wattle St house that Rachel spent 2 years in sharing has finally been sold on, quite possibly to be knocked down for building flats. It's opposite the road from Tilley's and hence in the area where highrise flats are allowed under the new planning laws. The owner of Tilley's just happened to be Rachel et al's landlord. Stefan and Kristen found the ad description on All-Homes, as well as an "early draft" of the ad description before spin-doctoring had been performed...

SOHO LIVING

This enormous retro home is directly across the road from one of the Inner North’s most popular café precincts. The 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has large living areas as well as an eat-in kitchen. This home offers you the chance to have what would be undoubtedly a very much desired address by anyone seeking more then just a home but a lifestyle that is more akin to trendy parts of larger cities and is also becoming a way of life in Canberra. Investors and builders will also be astute enough to realize opportunities like this are rare.

SO-SO LIVING

This retardly enourmous home is directly across the road from one or two cafés, including one that treats its customers and neighborhood with contempt due to its bloated fame. The 4 bedroom, 1 walk-in closet, 2 bathroom (one open-air/rain) home has large living areas (also with rain access) as well as an kitchen you probably don't want to eat-in. This home offers you the chance to have what would be undoubtedly a very much desired address by anyone recently arriving from a war-torn or economically depressed nation. It will taunt you with the possibility of desperately mimicking a lifestyle that is more akin to trendy parts of larger cities and has not yet become way of life in Canberra, which, lets face it, is a large rural center with what added benefits accrue from being home to the beloved national government. Investors and builders will also be astute enough to realize opportunities like this are rare, as knocking the property flat would be a good idea and you can do virtually anything from there.
