5 Thornton Street, Kew – James Buyer Advocates
James Home Rating: 618 | October 2026
Good sized period rooms, high ceilings and a wide entrance. The front three or four rooms are really good and quite functional as they stand.
The kitchen and little meals area at the rear feel somewhat tacked on. It’s not the grand home some buyers might expect, but it is perfectly workable for now.
Upstairs, a couple of cosy rooms, not enormous, but the elevation gives you some lovely views towards the city.
In previous markets, buyers might have looked at this as a knockdown opportunity, replacing it with a luxury home to capture those sweeping city views (STCA).
But I can see enough character and accommodation here for a family to move in and enjoy it as it is, while considering those bigger options down the track.
Yes, the kitchen and rear living spaces aren’t perfect, but some smaller cosmetic improvements could keep things going quite comfortably.
A home with good period bones, liveable accommodation and longer-term possibilities.
