16 Birdwood Avenue Brighton - James Home Ratings

Rating: 593
Inspected: 20 August 2025

Position

This is a Golden Mile address — but it’s worth noting it’s the northern end, closer to Elwood. Families who want to be deep in Brighton’s Church Street action may see this as a little far away. But for Elwood buyers looking to step into Brighton’s prestige strip, this is right in the zone.

Land

• Size: 676sqm
• Shape: Irregular, tapering strongly at the back
• Orientation: North-facing rear, which worked beautifully on inspection — full sun in the garden, a clear positive

Property

A period-style home, smaller by Golden Mile standards but still offering plenty of accommodation:

• Five bedrooms, three bathrooms
• Parking: Tandem at the front (one behind the other) — no garage, which will deter some buyers
• Upstairs retreat: A genuine plus, providing separation and a second living option
• Feel: Simple, light, and functional — not cutting-edge or grand, but comfortable and workable

 Buyer Fit

This is best suited to buyers who want a simpler offering in a prestige location. It’s not the full Brighton “statement home” package — no big garage, no sprawling backyard, and the block shape is irregular. But for families or couples who value location above all else, and can live with a more modest home, it works.

Market & Value

• Quote: Up to $6.6M
• Market Lens: For a 676sqm Golden Mile block, the ask is ambitious given the irregular shape and modest dwelling. But the address, land orientation, and accommodation will underpin interest.
• Summary View: A good entry into the Golden Mile for those who don’t need grandeur but still want the cachet and lifestyle.

Period-style 5-bed, 3-bath family home on 676sqm in Brighton’s Golden Mile. North-facing rear, upstairs retreat, tandem parking; simpler entry-level prestige offering.
