155 Victoria Road Hawthorn East - James Buyer Advocates

155 Victoria Road, Hawthorn East
This is one of those homes that’s better than it looks—a Victorian with solid bones and a surprisingly functional floorplan. Yes, it presents as a bit of a hodgepodge, especially out back, and yes, the garaging is a tight squeeze. But step through with fresh eyes: the north-facing rear, while not perfect, still offers opportunity, and with some straightforward updates—paint, carpet, minor landscaping—you could unlock real upside without overcapitalising.

 

It’s a home that would benefit from emotional editing. Lose the dated furniture and awkward presentation and the true structure shines through. Double parking is technically there, just with some compromise. For a buyer with vision—and discipline—this could be a clever buy under the radar. Especially if the quoted range of $4.3–4.8m softens. Don’t dismiss it on first glance. Go in with questions, not assumptions.
