Oh the longing

I live in the 'burbs. I've lived in the city and in the suburbs and I like both for different reasons. Right now I'm kind of over the suburbs and would like to move closer to the city but because God hates me, the property market is kind of average which means it's a bad time for me to sell my house given I bought it when the property market wasn't crap. I am fully aware that this is a first world complaint. And my next one is a first class complaint; why don't I own this apartment?!?!?!!!! Argh I want it, give it to me immediately or someone's getting cut.

'Tarana', Potts Point, Sydney NSW

This place is part of a large mansion that's been chopped up into smaller places. I love that the character of this place has been maintained but HOLY CRAP THERE'S A BALLROOM. I can't even describe it properly so just look at the pictures. Listing is here.

Yes, I know, the address is on the floorplan but it wasn't on the actual listing so I'll humour the agent. *ahem*
