A decent little package at a decent entry price for Albert Park. It is not perfect, but then what is. For a young couple looking for a place to start a family, it has everything. It feels good, the kitchen and living area work well, the fit-out is pleasant, and from the street it looks as pretty as a picture. A few little quirks, yes. Overall a good offering in a decent spot, though sadly almost all of the period detail has been erased.



Like most of the area, it sits inside a vast heritage zone, so do get an insurance quote to see how the insurer views the risk of flooding. The corner position is a plus: easy access if you ever want to do some work to it. Parklands are around the corner, with Albert Park Village and the beach a short stroll away. The only little nick is the apartments at the back, but this is superficial complaining, there is no overlooking.

Built boundary to boundary, with hardly any wasted land at the front, typical for a cottage in the area. There is no parking, but there are plenty of options on the street and the neighbourhood is safe and quiet, with plenty of expensive SUVs spending their nights outside. On first inspection, the house looks in excellent condition.

Natural light is great, not outstanding, but more than good enough. The windows are original single glazing and should probably be updated, heating could be more efficient, and solar is still to do.
