James Home Rating: 638 | Grade B | September 2026

 

This is a really good townhouse for buyers who want space and convenience without taking on a major project.

 

Positioned between Church Street and Bay Street, you are within easy walking distance of shops, stations and the broader Brighton amenities. That location does a lot of the heavy lifting.

 

The home itself is move-in ready and feels very well maintained. The kitchen has had some updates, while the bathrooms are still a little bit of a time warp. But that’s really an opportunity rather than a problem.

 

And there is a lot of space here. The rooms are generous, the layout is practical and you also have your own backyard.

 

I can see why this would appeal to downsizers, but I wouldn’t limit it to that. A first home buyer looking for a proper home, some outdoor space and access to good schools could also make a lot of sense here.

 

The beauty is that you have choices. You can move in and enjoy it as it is, or gradually update the areas that need attention.

 

For me, this is a very good combination of location, space and flexibility. It’s a home you can buy now, live in comfortably and improve over time if you want to.
