crazy coburg house / maze

This was hilarious. Saturday morning, Lou and i went out searching for real estate joy; and found the most bizarre setup in Coburg, just behind the train station .. minutes from the mall. Amazing house .. just really strange!

One of those weird houses that must have been built in bits .. an enormous garage, with room for six cars; a tunnel from the outdoor (covered and concreted) area to the garage; extra toilets and baths deposited here and there throughout this warren.

Two front-ish rooms with two doors each, ie thoroughfare; and with no hallway, so if you made these two rooms into bed-type areas, you'd always have to go through somebody's room to get from the front door to the kitchen and back.

It was advertised as a three bedroom house, but everyone had to go and ask the agent, "Which rooms exactly are you claiming to be bedrooms?"

She said that the previous tenants had hooked up some kind of curtain arrangement around the covered / outdoor living area, and turned that into a bedroom.


Okay. But you're renting this out without the curtain arrangement ...?

It's great the way you get to see inside all these insanely different houses. Great.

phew! 60 days

Well John was none too happy about it, but we received the proper documentation by registered mail, and now we've got until 26th May to find suitable dream house accommodation.

Which means probably a PaRTaY on the 2nd of May, and possibly a garage sale at some point too. Will keep you posted.

If you know of a dream house in East Brunswick - large, ramshackle, beautiful.. please let us know. Any leads much appreciated!

kind regards, michael
