Overall a cracking little pad with not much wrong with it, and everything that is wrong can be addressed cost effectively. So if you were to ask whether this is a good property, whether you should buy it, the answer depends. If you are a young single person wanting a statement home, great. Go for it. Just be mindful about what you are buying it for.



You are far enough from the flood overlay that your insurance will like you, and the property sits within a vast heritage precinct. Little Cruikshank is not the prettiest of streets, a bit grungy and narrow, but that is a fact, not a judgment. In the context of inner city/suburban living, this little property fits the bill nicely.

There is not much land to use, and what is there has been used well. The parking situation prevents you from owning a nice car as it stands, though there should be the option of fencing the block off. But then, you have a facade to show off. The dwelling itself is a great shell and that is pretty much all it is. It is liveable right now, but there are little quirks you would want to attend to: reconfigure the kitchen to install a proper exhaust fan, and maybe close off the bedroom windows facing the living area, not the ones facing the world. The protective shade sliders on the panorama windows might require a service to the sliding mechanism.

Tough one here. Orientation is great, and the heating sits in the slab, electric, but still better than splits. The biggest challenge is insulation: you do not have much space to work with, the concrete walls are a feature and hiding them behind panels defeats their point, and removing the outside facade cladding requires a bit of effort.
