James Home Rating: 650 | Grade A/B+ | August 2026
This is a brand-new home that offers something you do not often find in this area.
Essentially single level, with just a couple of steps through the middle, it has four bedrooms, two car spaces and a finish that feels warm rather than overly polished. There is a little quirkiness here too, which gives it some personality.
The backyard is not large, and the width of the block means this was never going to be a grand family home with acres of outdoor space. Instead, the design has embraced the scale and created something that feels comfortable and cosy.
The interesting part is the rarity. Most buyers in this area are looking at existing homes to renovate or extend. A brand-new home that is already finished and ready to move into is a different proposition.
For buyers who want new without sacrificing warmth and individuality, there is a lot to like here. The question, as always, is where the market sees the value.
