While owning a home sometimes feels like a pipe dream (plz just attach an avocado-toast drip to my veins), it’s actually not too far from reach for some – particularly if you’re happy to pick something up on the cheap and then give it a cheeky reno.
This is your opportunity to cosplay The Block in real life – and maybe you too can turn the place into Hughesy‘s dream home. And funnel that cash into finding/creating your own.
Or maybe you too get a kick out of looking at houses a little crummier than your mouldy flatshare. We’re not here to judge. We’re here to perve on ugly houses, crammed with POTENTIAL.

While situated in the fancy part of town, this four-bedroom Pymble pad is expected to veer on the cheaper side of the North Shore scale – the median house price in West Pymble is $1.9 mil, because it’s well, a bit daggy. That doesn’t mean a critical update can’t rejuvenate this place and its v strange postbox. It’s in a prime location with two bathrooms and two parking spots, defs worth srsly considering.

Tbh the main reason this is on the list is because of the colour scheme and the flooring. Can’t tell if the kitchen cabinets are painted puce or peach but I am not into it – but with a price like thatin far-north Queensland, and that view from the kitchen window, this is a fixer upper well worth yr time. Also the floors need doing: unless you love to live that lino life.

Yeah so judging by the pics this place needs both a good paint job and some re-flooring. But it’s a four-bedroom house – one with an ensuite AND a built-in wardrobe. And wouldn’t we all move just outside of Canberra so we didn’t have to share a bathroom anymore? And if you need to escape the ACT’s high-stakes political drama, there’s an outdoor pond (feel the tranquillity).
