2/59 Huntingtower Road ARMADALE

Comments on 2/59 Huntingtower Road ARMADALE

This townhouse passes a few walking tests: it's just three minutes to the Malvern Road tram, 10 minutes to Armadale Station and mere seconds to Lauriston Girls School across the road. The orientation of the development (three on the block) is east-west, but you actually enter no. 2 from the south side. That means the living spaces and bedrooms, all located at the rear, get good northern light, giving the home a bit of a visual lift. The rest depends on whether you are a glass half-full or half-empty type. Some will see a dated kitchen and bathrooms. Others may feel that a bathroom, an ensuite, plus a couple of powder rooms is quite generous, ditto for the large living and study. Downsizers may appreciate three beds and a study in providing some flexibility, plus a lock up garage wide enough to take two smaller cars but others interested in a longer-term home, may be looking for a downstairs bedroom. The location to the school may suit some parents with one or two children but it may also mean unwanted traffic at school pick up and drop off times for others. However, perhaps it could be said that all these groups would benefit from the position. The study downstairs could serve the teenagers or those working from home well. There has been activity in the Stonnington townhouse market in recent times and this location is good. The quoted price is from day one of the campaign, and it will be interesting to see where that sits come auction day.
