One thing Sydneysiders seem to appreciate more than us Melburnians is the power of a view. This home is just 5 minutes from Austin Hospital, 17 minutes from Carey, and 23 minutes from Grossi Florentino.
It sits on two lots of two levels, backing onto a large private park. The home will be completed in one month, featuring a brand-new $9 million rebuild with 48 tons of steel—much more than the average home.

We recently bought @ $9m and this is the report
Our patented 20-year-old home rating system highlights all issues, both good and not so good. For instance: Red for floor levels indicates no lift, but there is room for one. Red for noise indicates some drifting road noise from Cotham Road. Red for neighbors indicates the development across the road. Red for land shape indicates its backyard irregularity. Any of these could have been dealbreakers, which is why we highlighted them and then worked through them with H&J.
If H&J had said no, we would have moved on, as we had in the off-market dealbreakers for H&J in the “May knock on doors” section above.
A score of 739 is well above average and would have been 898 (an exceptional score) if we had removed all reds except for the development across the road.
Ratings are a very effective tool for communication as they encourage consistency of views between homes, between us, and between us and our clients. Brilliant!
Every rating is made public AFTER the home is sold, again for transparent credibility. Win or lose, we always throw sunlight onto the opinions we give our clients. I mean, 10,000 people will glance over or read this rating… it keeps opinions robust!
