James Home Rating: 640 | Grade B+ | September 2026

 

This is a very good position for a terrace home in Hawthorn.

 

You’re right on the edge of Richmond, close to Church Street and Barkers Road, with trams, the river and the city all within easy reach. It’s a location with plenty of energy, while the home itself sits quietly within a row of six terraces.

 

Inside, you’ve got three reasonably sized bedrooms, high ceilings and a relatively new kitchen. The living area has also been updated within the existing footprint, so the home feels fresh without losing its original terrace-house character.

 

The north-facing rear is a real positive, with plenty of natural light helped by the pitched roof. There’s also rear access via the laneway, with enough space to potentially get a car through. I’d definitely recommend testing the access yourself.

 

There is only one bathroom and no ensuite, so that’s something to consider.

 

I can see this property working well for a young family, a downsizer who values the location, or someone who simply wants to stay in Hawthorn while being close to the city.

 

The accommodation is straightforward, but the position is the real attraction here. Its convenient location, natural light and classic terrace-house character make it a practical choice.
