8a Grace Street Camberwell - James Buyer Advocates

James Home Rating – 8A Grace Street

Score: 761 / 1000

This is an above-average townhouse that works harder than most. The position does a lot of the heavy lifting: a quiet cul-de-sac, north-facing rear, strong light to the living zones, and excellent connectivity to tram, freeway access, and everyday amenity. It’s one of those streets where things just function well, and that calm shows once you’re inside.

What separates this from many side-by-side townhouses is the land component. At approximately 563 sqm, the block allows width, breathing room, and a sense of space that is often missing in this category. Internally, the layout flows cleanly from entry through to rear living, with a wide circulation zone rather than a tight corridor. The lift connects basement, living, and bedroom levels, making the home practical across life stages. The rear living area is where this house really succeeds — generous, light-filled, and properly connected to the outdoor zone.

The outdoor planning is thoughtful. The pool is in the right place — not dominant, easily supervised from the kitchen and living areas, and still leaving usable grass and entertaining space. Basement accommodation adds genuine value with gym, cellar, cinema, and storage all making sense rather than feeling forced. The only real discussion point here is price. At the ask, it feels courageous relative to recent nearby sales, but structurally and functionally, this is a strong offering in the townhouse category.

Considerations

Three good:

1. Quiet cul-de-sac with north-facing rear and excellent light

2. Wide block and strong internal flow for a townhouse

3. Pool placement and indoor–outdoor connection work very well
