Comments on 22 Turner Street MALVERN EAST

This lovely Edwardian home, with a beautiful street presence and large established gardens, will require substantial renovation to bring it up to the modern living standards of many families. As the house is not situated in the best position on the block, it could benefit from some savvy architectural design.

One option might be to construct a new family area connecting with the bigger side of the yard (the south side), which would create a light-filled area perfect for supervising the kids and for entertaining. Some buyers might be willing to carry out cosmetic renovations that would maintain it as a single-level home and, for instance, reduce it to three bedrooms plus study; you might also consider a new bathroom, laundry and open-plan kitchen/family area with a separate sitting room.

This home might best suit those wanting a ten-year option, such as couples wishing to scale down in house size while retaining a garden, or families with a couple of children wanting to get into the precinct. The key question here is: Will the effort and cost required to transform this into the house you really want be worth it?
