If you are looking for a large family home close to the city, parks, schools, shops and dining, then this ticks the boxes. Front formal rooms are a good size. As expected, this doesn't offer the "typical" family layout (e.g. open-plan kitchen and family room overlooking back yard), however, it does provide multiple living areas, a kitchen hub with easy access to the private courtyard, five bedrooms and secure off=street parking. The main bedroom is weak and could be seen as a cut through upstairs from the front of the house to the back. Terraces typically have multiple stairs and this is no exception, with two staircases and landings. However, for larger families this home provides the accommodation in a desired location where large family homes are often hard to find. James Buyer Advocates gives the property a rating of 731/1000, which puts it in the Well Above Average Category. It was sold by Marshall White agents Andrew Hayne and Peter Bennison at auction on Saturday, June 18 at 11.30am for $4.85 million, above expectations of $4.5 million plus. There were two bidders.
Kristen Hatt is principal buyer advocate at James Buyer Advocates, which advocates on behalf of buyers of property over $1 million. James provides home ratings, weekly auction reports and market analysis on its website.
