26 Finch Street Malvern East - James Buyer Advocates

26 Finch Street, Malvern East
This is one of those homes that should have sold by now. It sits in a prestige Gascoyne pocket, surrounded by quality homes, with good land size and strong architecture. The interiors are generous, the garaging is functional (via rear lane), and the layout makes sense—especially the flow into those welcoming front rooms and upstairs bedroom zones. It presents as a solid, grand family home, quoted $5–5.5m, which feels entirely fair given the block, scale, and setting.

So why the delay? Possibly the backyard layout—it’s a little tight with the pool and rear steps—but that’s nitpicking. The kitchen could be pushed further, but again, this is mostly personal taste. At $5m, you’re ahead. At $5.5m, you’re not overpaying for the area. One of those rare homes where the lack of a clear “flaw” may have actually slowed momentum. For a buyer ready to move decisively, that’s opportunity.
