James Home Rating: 564 | Grade B | September 2026
This is a good little home that gets a lot into a relatively manageable package.
You’ve got three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage, a side courtyard and even a plunge pool. The rear faces south, but the living area is positioned at the front, so it captures the northern light.
The big compromise is the position. We’re on a main road and there is a tram nearby, so you certainly need to be comfortable with some traffic and transport noise.
But the location also brings some real convenience, with easy access to Glenferrie Road and Cabrini Hospital.
I think this is going to suit a downsizer or small household particularly well, although I could also see a first-home buyer making it work.
It’s not a home that’s going to appeal to everyone, but if you can accept the road and tram, you’ve got a practical home with good accommodation, parking, outdoor space and plenty of natural light.
