My dream house

[panamag8or]

I saw this house a year or so ago, then the pics disappeared. The house was slated to be torn down, but apparently it has been saved, and now the pics are back. It is the coolest house ever, and if I ever get the chance, I would love to duplicate it.

Check out the bathroom!

What a great house. Though she could do with a bit of love and some handiwork.

Beautiful house! I love the zig-zag stone work on that hall, and the pink on green bathroom! It's wild! The bar, the elevator, the big windows. . . .

Certainly a far cry from those aweful mini-mansions that I'm forced to look at here.

This house is AMAZING! I'm glad to read that it will survive. So many houses of historic interest are torn down in Dallas every year, so we can see another Country French inspired home, that it's maddening. We have quite a few surviving MCM homes but nothing this incredible. Thanks for sharing. :eusa_clap

I am amazed at the tiling. I am blown away. I really believe that it would be hard to get that attention to detail nowadays.

My 1937 house - and why they want it down

Check out the above thread from Fletch.
Do we need an architecture thread?

Apples and oranges... however, Fletch's thread is what made me visit the B.E.L.T. site, where I saw the pictures were back up. The owner of that site is interested in preserving older architecture, and I notified her of this issue. She may bring attention to it, or she may not, but I let her know.

I just hope Fletch's neighborhood has as good a result as this house did.

I'm always up for one, as y'all might expect.

I am considering moving & I think I've found my dream home for rent. This is a lovely example of the Australian take on the Californian Bungalow. It was built in the early 20's, it's heritage listed & apart from a few flaws (bad interior paint scheme, new front door, new cistern & laundry tub) it's pretty much a time warp house. The bathroom & the kitchen are fabulous. All the light fittings and carpets are original, though the cabinets over the range in the kitchen were probably added in the 50's. Link to property listing is here
Here's a few pictures.

Lolly, that is lovely! The french doors! The Bathroom! Swoon.

Would they let you paint it, do you think?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Wow, Lolly. That house is spectacular!

Exceptionally cool bathroom tile! That and the French doors make it a keeper. Atmosphere is a must and it definitely seems to have it. So cool that even as a rental it has been able to retain the charm of yesteryear.

Nifty! What's the deal with the floor in the room with the bay window -- is that tile or is it some kind of wood parquet?

Looks to me to be the same as the carpeting seen before the French doors.

I think it's the carpet. I've made an appointment with the agent to see the house, so I'll take a few pictures when I'm there. Did I mention the original copper is still in the laundry?
Thank goodness the house was heritage listed by the local council, homes like these need to be preserved.

What a stunner!

Good luck. I hope that it works out for you.
