House of India

Quite a few years ago we went to a dinner party where we met a couple who had just returned from working in Indonesia. They had re-settled in Australia and bought the former Indian Embassy (or Consulate?) in Hamilton.
We didn't know such a house existed, and upon our real-estalking the following day, I fell in love at first sight.

So, it was with great agitation that I discovered yesterday that it is currently for sale. The root of my agitation being that I am without the $2.9 million to buy it.
I could show you some of the interior shots, but safe to say, it's been top-to-toed with the bland brush. I've already redecorated it in my mind, using the colours of India; peacock blue, turquoise, hot pink, emerald green, acid yellow.
Details are here.

  1. Stunning really. I could imagine it in all your colourings with you and your girls bedecked in jewels and swanning about in kaftans. $2.9 million. Who has that sort of money? I'm agog.

    1. Thanks MMMC, I love that you're onboard with the idea. I'd definitely have you over for a gin sling.

  2. It's been for sale for a year or two. I remember looking at it maybe two years ago and the price was much, much higher! It was available for rent about this time last year too.

    1. Really? I think it's a house that divides the masses.

  3. I think if I had 3mill I wouldn't pick that one!
    In saying that,I think 3mill is fair considering the beautiful location and the style of house.
