My good friend Lynne in Perth shares my obsession with house-hunting and dreaming of places in the country or by the sea. She often sends me fantastic houses that she has found, and these two beach houses are the latest. Both amazing in their different ways, which do you prefer (if you had to choose one!)?
The first one is very ‘Hamptons’, in Somers, Vic, and is situated right on the beach:
Amazing right?
The second house is in Lorne, Vic, and is just as impressive but quite different. Rather than being on the beach, it’s situated in the mountains overlooking the water. It also has more of a French Provincial feel rather than the feel of a ‘beach house’. The things I love about this house (aside from the obvious!), are that it feels private and secluded, and really warm and cosy as well as being filled with light. You know I love a house on a hilltop!
Look at that floor and ceiling! What a dream!
So, if you were in the unfortunate position of having to choose between these two amazing homes, which would you pick?
(I think they are both still for sale)
