No. 1/25 Milson Rd, Cremorne Point . THE INTRIGUING shape of the building in which this lovely ground- floor apartment sits is a sight to behold on approach, its hexagonal turrets and facade enveloping what is clearly a grand old dame. Up on its mini cliff ­Holyoak sits, and it’s from the front of this original Federation beauty that our apartment casts its appraising eye out over the harbour, with Opera House and Harbour Bridge smack bang in the middle of a picture-­perfect view. The hexagonal shaped living and dining room. While soaking up these gorgeous vistas from the large and attractive suntrap terrace is more than enough fun, inside offers plenty more for the discerning ­ Cremorne Point resident. On entering, you’re met with the surprisingly sizeable kitchen , the slightly dark interior of which is offset with its cute round window , and the rather quirky frosted window into the second bedroom next door (which has a door on to that lovely terrace). Next to this, and opp...

THERE are two worlds represented in this sympathetic Newtown renovation , but they don’t collide. The original four- bedroom house represents a rich era in architecture in this blue ribbon neighbourhood , shown through its detailed weatherboard and brick homes. The timber detailing on the facade and a rare corner stained glass bay window provides a glimpse into yesteryear. Its credentials are confirmed inside, where high ceilings are lined with timber, creating a spacious aura throughout the original part of the home. It’s a solid built house that blocks the noise from the cusp of the city. 1 Roebuck St, Newtown. Three bedrooms are at the front. Each has split-system airconditioning, of which there are seven units in the house. Two bedrooms have enormous built-in wardrobes, while the third could double as a study, with the bay window and desk by the open fireplace. A T- shaped passageway connects the room, in the original part of the house, with a renovated bathroom, including a d...

According to the Charlotte Museum of History, the home tour “features seven privately-owned homes in the SouthPark area , all designed and decorated in the mid- century modern style popular from 1935 to 1965.” Tickets cost $25 and you visit the homes at your own pace. For people looking to party and talk mod design , there’s also a MOD VIP Party at Hans Krug Thursday , September 7 (tickets). “Many of today’s ‘must-have’ home features were born from the midcentury design aesthetic ,” says John Kincheloe, architect at LS3P and board member of the Charlotte Museum of History. “Each home on the tour has a story to tell, whether it’s about the influential architect who designed it, the people who lived there or the neighborhood around it.” All proceeds of the tour are used to support preservation and education mission of the Charlotte Museum of History. A spokesperson for the museum told me, “The museum believes when people see how beautiful and functional these homes can be, they wil...

Many of us have visited national parks while on vacation, awed by their grandeur and natural beauty. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up to such a breathtaking landscape every day? You never tire of it, says Leslie Bergman, who along with her husband, Ron, owns Spring Lakes Farm near the Olympic National Park in Washington. “The experience of living here is something much larger than ourselves, and we always wake with a sense of wonder and awe, which has never diminished,” she said. “It’s irresistible to live out here and not be outside, even standing on our front porch. We’re in a glacial carved valley , and we’re completely ringed by mountains. Just to stand out there with a cup of coffee, it’s really transformative. It’s transformative for your coffee as well.” [America’s natural heritage : a look at the 59 national parks ] People who live near national parks are treated each day to natural wonders that can include majestic mountains , sparkling la...

Picture by SANDY McCOOK 4th August '17 Your Home Feature. The Old Parsonage, Farr, Aberarder, Inverness-shire, home of Trevor and Heather Colbourne. While £870 today seems a teeny sum for a grand period country house , in 1882 it was considered a small fortune. In fact, it was so much that the Episcopalian Church building the manse at Croachy by Farr, ran out of money. Now called The Old Parsonage, the house has been owned by Trevor and Heather Colbourne for nearly a decade. During that time Trevor researched the history of the house. “An Episcopalian Church was built here in 1868 then eight years later they needed to build accommodation for the vicar. I found in the library, an old advert inviting tradesmen to come and help build the new parsonage. “From memory, the whole house cost £870 to build but they were short by £100 so had to seek public subscription and ask people to help pay for it to be finished.” This beautifully appointed home was designed by architect Alexand...
