I have walked past this place on the Strand in Williamstown a gazillion times and each time a much needed sense of calm and tranquility courses through me like honey. Anyone and everyone who’s ever walked with me chants “Yes, yes, we know. That’s your house, Mel…”
Something about the place just stirs a desire for simple living by the sea with a rambling garden for scores and scores of orphaned children and lost dogs home pups to run around in and the added benefit of having one Mr Rex Harrison living in the attic. How I loved thee, Captain Daniel Gregg.
So it was with great surprise and excitement that I walked past the other week to see a tiny “For Sale” sign out the front.
My moment has finally come. Check it out. You will see there is just so much to love about it.
There’s been a lot of chatter round these parts about what will happen to the place with the general consensus being that it would be an absolute tragedy if some gauche developer came along and turned it into a dozen pieces of shit as many lovely old places have been along that stretch.
So, if anyone out there is feeling quite charitable and has a cool $8 million to spare I would be ever so grateful. I’m a terribly good cause - ask anyone. I’ll make you my bitchin’ Hummingbird Cake – totally worth 8 mill.

Oh my, I love love love that movie!! Just delightful. It’s one that I’ve watched about a billion times and I’ll never be sick of it.
And your 8 mil house; does it have a monkey puzzle tree in the front yard???
I have a similar house in my town, too. Strangely though, my dream house is not in my dream location/suburb. If I ever win the lottery, I’m going to be torn – unless I win enough to buy both, of course….
Wow!! What an amazing place.
I also had my eye on a dream house in Brisbane, ever since I was a very young girl. Unfortunately about five years ago the original owners sold off most of the land, and now where beautiful sprawling gardens used to be, sit many ‘designer’ homes clustered together…
For me, that dream is over. I wish significant money your way so that your dream can become reality…
