81 Broadway, Camberwell
James Home Rating: 740 | Grade A | February 2026
This is a serious landholding in one of Camberwell’s grandest pockets. It is not a finished showpiece at this price level, but the bones and the position make it a compelling long term play.
How to read this home:
• See it as a land and light opportunity first, house second
• Focus on the rear section on the floorplan, that is where the transformation sits
• Understand the value is in the block size, orientation and scale, not current polish
• Budget for meaningful improvement, but not a full knock down
What works:
• Powerful 2,000 sqm parcel, beautifully positioned on the block
• North light to the rear, ideal for a substantial new living zone
• A sense of stature and width that is hard to recreate on smaller sites
• Scope to create grand gardens to match the home’s proportions
What holds it back:
• At this price point many buyers expect a finished product
• The rear internal section needs rethinking to deliver a true statement space
• No tennis court, which some buyers associate with this land size and price bracket
Who this suits
• A buyer comfortable at the upper end of the market who sees vision over veneer
• Families wanting scale, privacy and long term capital growth
• Someone prepared to invest another one to two million to create a signature Camberwell residence
This is a great home on a great block, the question is not whether it works, it is how far you are prepared to take it.
