James Home Rating: 652 | Grade B+ | September 2026
This is a solid, well-built home that makes a lot of sense for a small household.
Built around 12 years ago, it has a very practical layout, with the master suite downstairs and two good-sized bedrooms upstairs. That makes it particularly well suited to a downsizer, while still giving you space for adult children or grandchildren when they visit.
There is a single garage plus another car space behind it, which is a useful amount of parking for a home of this size.
The corner position does mean there is some traffic noise from Taronga Road, but the double glazing does a good job of reducing that once you’re inside.
The location is another strong point, with Glenferrie Road shops and Malvern train station both within walking distance.
For me, the appeal is the simplicity of the proposition. It’s a well-planned, low-maintenance home that works particularly well for downsizers who want everything they need on one level, with the flexibility of extra bedrooms upstairs.
