Thoughts?

I didn't realise there were any houses in the CBD at all. If you've got that kind of money, $3 million isn't too bad considering the land component itself would be very valuable.

I'm not usually one for CBD living, but I'd sell my mother to a band of roving gypsies to buy that house.

I could live there pretty easily .

Very nice!
I'd love to live somewhere like that - though I'd make the roof terrace even more awesome.

I was just thinking that, at the price, it's a great buy... they're building high rise on very small footprints in Melb these days.

Something about the photos of the house made me feeling that I could live there and that's really weird because I never ever have wanted to live in the city...

No cars spaces?! No thanks.

I couldn't live there.

I sometimes stay in hotels not far from there for work - there is a constant background city noise which I don't like.

In terms of house, it doesn't appeal to me at all. I want gardens and trees.

Certainly not my taste, but as a matter of interest I happen to know the listing agent! Just for a laugh, I occasionally wear his old suit and pants that he very kindly passed down to me!!! LOL
Regarding the lack of car parking, and with such deep pockets and a massive floor space, it should be easy to carve a small amount of the 680? Sqm up for a piddly garage?

The land itself is only 340sqm, so definitely no car space possible. Not good enough for 3 mil imo.

not good enough for $3m? a HOUSE in the CBD of 680sqm that cannot be replaced?

If you had that much money, I'm sure you could purchase a car space nearby as well

Not very practical though... I wouldn't want to be carrying my groceries etc a couple of blocks all the time.

If I was going to spend $3m on an inner city residence it would more likely be some kind of 3/3/3 penthouse with awesome views and not views of a brick wall.

to each their own i guess. i would buy this house over a much smaller penthouse that has absolutely no value add potential and a lot more competition any day.

Don't get me wrong, if I were to purchase for investment purposes I'd go the house in the cbd any day but if it were purely for a PPOR and nothing else it wouldn't be my first choice. Actually, anything in Victoria would not be my first choice.

No car space possible? An average 2 car garage is 36m2!

The land component is actually quite cheap, reflected by the fact it's quite fringe and not a major address perhaps. Not sure what I'd do what it but had thought about putting an offer in.
