The house with the secret lift

So I'm back from my holiday. Croatia is very nice but Barcelona is eleventy billion kinds of awesome. I'm half seriously thinking about brushing up on my Spanish and moving there for good. There are billions of great tapas places there but I was especially taken by Costa Gallega on Passeig de Gracia. The food was amazing and the service fantastic. Plus, there's the added bonus of a bunch of Gaudi buildings right outside. Given I'm so deeply in love with Spain, I may feature some Spanish properties on here. Or I may not, I am pretty forgetful.

By the way, a quick hi to all my new Hungarian readers. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions or links to amazing Hungarian properties.

30 Bradley's Head Road, Mosman NSW

This is a rental. *gasp* Generally I wouldn't bother featuring a rental but the listing is very good, quite comprehensive. Props to the (out of area) agent. The house itself is quite beautiful, typical for the area. The street it's on would surely have to be in the top 10 priciest streets in Sydney. Anyway, the thing that got me about this place is the secret and goddamned fantastic dressing room that is accessed by a secret lift in the study which is part of the master suite. I can't even.....

Yes.

Yawn.

Nicer than my kitchen but still, no.

The cooker is pretty impressive.

Crikey. No. Paging Thomas Hamel...

This doesn't make me want to hurl.

Looks cosy enough...

Nan gets the room with the good view.

Inoffensive.

OMG yes, here we go.

Nope.

I don't drink wine but I could get so many bottles of vodka in here.

There's also a fully separate, self-contained apartment but that part of the floorplan was being a dick so you'll just have to take my word for it.
