Day 6 of my Carrington photos and today's photo is of the Everyone's Theatre. The theatre is long gone but is now an apartment building.
In this theatre there are 11 apartments - 10 one bedroom apartments and one 2 bedroom apartment. To be honest they are just glorified motel rooms as the size will tell you.
One of the single bedroom apartments sold recently for $510,000. That apartment is shown in the link below.
As you can see from the photos they are all taken with a short lens to make it look larger than it actually is.
The total area is 70 sq m but that includes the outside area too.
70 sq m
internal 43 sq m
balcony 7 sq m
storage 4 sqm
carport 15 sqm
So the living area is only 43 sq m.
The actual living area is smaller than our lounge room. To pay $510,000 for an apartment that is smaller than our lounge room is madness.
The two bedroom apartment also sold recently for $902,000 and the area of that one is 130 sq m. That will include the outside area too I imagine. Here is a link to that apartment
It’s a fabulous looking building though - sadly it reminds me of our London apartment prices. Impossible to downsize as a smallish apartment costs you more than your 3 story house! And that’s without all the moving. Taxes and inevitabke refurb costs. New builds are either top end or totally unaffordable and small flimsy boxes!
We have been playing with the idea of moving into an apartment as the pool and garden are becoming too much for us.
The problem is, we'll end up paying more for one which is a third of the size of our house.

9 bookcases in the rumpus room and 25 altogether in the whole house.
