2A Robinson St, Horsham, comes with a bright facade that stands apart from the neighbouring units.
A Horsham unit daubed in more colours than a bag of Skittles is set to make its owner twice what they paid for it less than eight years ago.
Locals have come to know the owner of the two-bedroom unit at 2A Robinson St for his regular appearances in the front yard painting the fence a new bold colour — or trimming the lawn with a set of secateurs.
With the home listed for sale this week it’s been revealed that it’s just as eye-catching on the inside.

And as the town’s real estate market responds to the early stages of what’s expected to be a home price boom, the vibrant address is expected to sell for $375,000 — far above the $120,000 it last changed hands for in September 2018.
Harcourts Horsham’s Sean Pollock is handling the listing and said it “should be an interesting sale”.
The kitchen offers the chance to taste the rainbow.
Colour changes mid wall provide an unusual, though bright backdrop.
A colourful room’s decor includes the colours of the Irish flag on one wall.
Living nearby, Mr Pollock said the fence was always changing colour — and being currently mostly white, was a bit dull by its usual standards.
“I haven’t seen anything like this before,” he said.
“But I imagine that it will go to an investor who will whack some paint over it all.”
And while not everyone would opt for that much colour in their property, the agent said the prospects of a sale were strong.
Horsham has a number of mines and a potato processing plant due to come online in the near future, and was already attracting rising investor attention as a result.
One of the home’s bedrooms shows that the colour scheme extends into the wardrobes.
The fence of the corner property comes close to a full rainbow of colours on display.
There’s even a splash of colour in the bathroom.
“The market is amazing up here at the moment,” Mr Pollock said.
“There are investors tripping over themselves to get a home here now.
“They are expecting prices to go up. So they are trying to jump in early.”
He estimated the regional centre’s median house price had risen about $20,000 in the past six months.
Latest PropTrack data shows that in 2025 the typical house value, including all homes not just those that had sold, grew from about $403,000 to $476,000 — an 18 per cent up tick.
“This is just the start … and I don’t know where it will stop,” Mr Pollock said.
