38 Murphy Street Brighton - James Home Ratings

38 Murphy Street Brighton 

James Home Rating: — 611
Inspected: 27/8/25

Position

This is Elwood meets Brighton — you’re close to schools (primary just around the corner), walking distance to the beach, and connected to village-style living. For families wanting a little more space than typical Elwood terraces offer, this is a smart crossover option.

Property

A larger family home with plenty of positives, mixed with a few compromises:

• Upstairs: Plenty of bedrooms, though the stairs are on the narrow side.
• Car: One car space visible, which is a slight drawback, though a second may be workable. No garage.
• Yard: Big yard out the back — a rarity in Elwood — with a pool. The pool is older style, so maintenance will be a consideration.
• Extras: A little gym area/retreat at the rear — great for teenagers or adults.
• General feel: Solid family accommodation, functional, nothing hidden — “it is what it is.”

Buyer Fit

Best suited to families who love Elwood but want more house and land. It works for buyers prioritising:

• Proximity to schools and beach
• Outdoor space (big yard, pool)
• Flexibility for growing families or those who want room for teenagers

Not ideal for downsizers or buyers needing secure garaging.

Market & Value

• Quote: $4.2M
• Context: At the right price, this property should attract solid interest. It offers more land and accommodation than many Elwood options, even if the finish and amenities (car and pool) aren’t perfect.
• Summary: A bigger-than-average Elwood property on the Brighton edge. With a strong position, big yard, and good family feel, it should hold appeal for the right buyer group in the $4M+ range.

Large family home on the Elwood/Brighton edge. Big yard, pool, multiple bedrooms, one-car space. Quoted $4.2M — strong family option near schools and beach.
