About the host
Hosted by chris barry
I like architecture ,travel and surfing.
Why they chose this property
I love the area South Melbourne , the Gold rush architecture, pubs and cafes.This is a classic from that era.Built in 1879 and rebuilt in 2014 I renovated this house with the traveller in mind , the property was the perfect template to base my ideas of design and comfortable living. It has a great dining/living area for a group to socialize and have fun, but also the bedrooms are large enough to get a little private time .Two outdoor area s make for casual entertaining.
What makes this property unique
The house reminds me of Europe .It is a grand Victorian with a stunning staircase and views over South Melbourne. It is located in heritage protected precinct that remains unchanged since 1880. I have renovated the interior ,brought it into the 21st C I love sitting on the danish leather couch , gazing out the balcony window and looking at the clocktower of South Melbourne town hall
