2 Gordon Street, Deepdene

James Home Rating: 640 | Grade A- | February 2026

 

A substantial Georgian inspired residence in a tightly held pocket of Deepdene. Around ten years old and holding its age well, this is a home that delivers scale, flow and presence, with only a few trade offs to consider.


How to read this home:

• Big land component and strong internal proportions
• Focus on the flow, hallway width and bedroom configuration upstairs
• Separate macro position, schools, tram, Cotham and Bourke Road access, from the micro position, traffic and immediate surrounds
• Assess value in the context of what six million buys elsewhere


What works:

• Substantial block size
• Excellent internal layout with generous hallways
• Well configured bedrooms upstairs
• Alfresco zone and well positioned pool
• Ten years old and presenting well for its age
• Strong access to leading schools and transport, position tick at a macro level


What holds it back:

• Gordon Street carries traffic
• Backyard shape angles in and feels smaller than expected for the scale of the home
• Micro position not as strong as some quieter alternatives
• Price sensitivity at the upper end of the quoting range


Who this suits:

• Buyers wanting scale and substance without building from scratch
• Families prioritising school access and transport
• Those comfortable trading a perfect backyard for a strong internal home


A big tick for the home itself, the final decision comes down to how you weigh the yard and micro position against what else six million secures in the wider market.
