35sm house on 539 block, hope your "kissin' cousin" close to your neighbours.

Personally does not appeal one bit, stepford wifes, desperate housewifes, with aussie accents and barbie smoke

I agree. Put it on a 5390 block and I might consider it!

You asked who would live in a house "like" that. My answer - not me! Not "What else can you buy 80 mins from Sydney CBD for under $500K".

I dont live in Sydney - but what about these in Brisbane, all in the $450-500K price range & 10-15 mins to the city?

http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...=&fmt=&header= - check out the distance from the city - 3.5kms

http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...=&fmt=&header=

http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...=&fmt=&header=

http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin...=&fmt=&header=


If you chose to be a bit further out (30 mins), your choices would be much greater.

I don't know, and to be honest I don't really care. I have no intention of living in Sydney; the very thought of it appalls me.

I'm moving to the Adelaide Hills.

LOL, fair play to ya mate; I prefer an older place with more character and a block with a decent amount of leibensraum.

Can't really see the point of buying a tiny little block and swamping it with a thumping great Yank-style barn.

I'm not the only one that thought it would look more in keeping in Connecticut or Massachusetts then?
