What can you sacrifice ?

I wouldn't sacrifice living next to highway.

My morning routine involves me running to the footpath in my Reg Grundies to pick up the newspaper.

 

Which mushroom voted no windows in the bedroom

The train station one depends on how far we are talking. I currently commute to the train from a tram and that's fine. If I had to drive 15-20 minutes to a train then no chance.

Small backyard is the new normal and will only continue to be so.

 

@datto - so you're the cause of all those accidents in front of Neobilie House.

 

I actually found I liked sleeping in a bedroom without window especially in noisy precinct, it gave more peace and quiet throughout the night, instead of getting awake by rubbish truck, etc in mid night lol. But having no natural light is a big disadvantage.

 

Would this be a Fairfax or Newscorp edition?

And can all of the traffic be certain of the current temperature give your Grundie run?

 

There was no option for:

• Waterviews
• Deep water frontage with mooring
• Helipad
• Inclinator
• Lift
• Maids quarters
• Scullery
• Cellar
• Air raid shelter
• Fibre to the premises
• 3 phase power
• Man shed

I don't know how I could choose between any of these....maybe the waterviews might lose out.

 

Oh.... disagree completely. The last 2 IPs I bought for location and aspect to the water... and both happen to be houses on land, not units. Waterviews all the way baby.
I'll live without the air raid shelter and the second bathroom.

 

So the 2nd bathroom is not as essential as it has proclaimed itself to be!

 

I'm thinking of that move to South Korea or Japow - bomb shelter is rising steadily on the wants list.
(I'm glad no-one thought the other essentials to be frivolous).

 

But i dunno how one could go back living in one without ensuite once you have lived in it. It's so inconvenient without one....

And how can you not have a car park.... what if there's hail storm, lol. And having your bmw sitting under the sun 24/7.....urgh.....

 

We bought on a main road which literally nobody wanted. Been on the market for months. We paid way below suburb average at possible 30% discount to suburb average. 3-4 month settlement we found out that it is zoned RGZ because it is on a main road. Whether it's luck or not, I think it's possibly our best purchase to date.

 

If it sits on the road 24/7, then you don't need a car.

 

Had a loo like that in one of the offices I worked in recently - not good.
I think only a mum could make that sort of thing work ok.

 

Did the window have a pull down curtain? Hopefully a "Yes" would be in order... assuming your friend didn't have some kind of hobby involving startling his/her neighbours on a regular basis...

 

Y-man, there is some opportunity to be had here in the next issue of House & Garden.

Alternatively, if you get a capital W tattooed on each cheek, with a small amount of effort, numerous neighbours can experience a lot of "W o W".

 

I voted small kitchen. It's something that can be changed but most of the other things can't be changed.
The train station does little for me either but I voted kitchen first.
