Too lazy to set a custom title

Inside Melbourne's Central Business District there exists a little 3 room cottage. I don't mean 3 bedrooms, I am talking about literally THREE ROOMS. There used to be about 6 of them in a row before all but one were demolished to build an ugly skyscraper. The entire area used to be residential housing until the 1960s.

The dimensions of the land? 7 x 7.5m. A mere 52 square metres, which includes the back yard and an outdoor toilet.

This tiny parcel of CBD land has its own title. I wonder how much it's worth these days?

The funny thing is that the house was probably only "small" when it was built. Solution? Let's ditch our open living, sitting rooms, garages, laundries... and go back to 3 room houses.
