With Melbourne’s population exploding, townhouses are becoming more and more prevalent in our suburbs. Like everything, some are good, some not so good. 35 Yeovil Road is one of the better townhouses I have seen this year.

Designed by well-known Malvern architect Gary Catt, this townhouse has suits very well modern living and captures city views and coveted northern light internally where it is needed most.

The floor plan works really well. and has important modern touches like a home office computer station area behind the kitchen, a free-standing bath in the main bathroom, downstairs bedroom with ensuite (ideal for guests of people with limited mobility), large bedrooms (who wouldn’t want those?) and a spacious open-plan living area linking to an alfresco area.

This has built to a very high standard and the level of finish and fixture/fitting appointment is first rate. The style is classy one, and less likley to date than a period reproduction style. For a young professional family wanting to live in their money and very, very comfortably in a good modern house located in a family friendly Modern suburb this property will suit well. There are obvious no cheap shots or cut corners here.

Property does lack some street presence (it is the middle one of three here ) and has a limited rear yard area, however being so close to Hartwell Sports Ground this may not be such an issue.

35 a Yeovil Road is scheduled for auction this Saturday, the 5^th of September at 3pm and is listed by Rae Tomlinson of Marshall White.

Design well.
