James Home Rating: 600 | Grade B | August 2026
Sometimes straightforward is exactly what you want.
This is a simple double-fronted home that has been renovated without trying to be something it isn’t. Three bedrooms, a warm and pleasant feel, and a layout that is easy enough to understand from the moment you walk in.
The home is honest about its proportions and its limitations. The bathroom sits at the rear near the kitchen, and parking is possible via the long laneway, although access may be a little challenging.
The location does plenty of the heavy lifting, with easy access to shops, transport and the broader neighbourhood.
What I like is that there are no great surprises here. You know what you’re buying, you can see how it works, and there is enough character to give it a genuine sense of home.
For the right buyer, the appeal is its simplicity. The important question will be whether the land and the double-fronted format stack up at the level buyers are prepared to pay.
