Comments on 267 Coppin Street RICHMOND

I think this is a really good property.

The one limitation is the width of the block. You can’t make it any wider, so it will always feel a little enclosed in parts. But that is really the only significant issue I can see. The positives far outweigh it.

As it stands, the home feels good, completely renovated and very liveable. I would be surprised if a building inspection uncovered anything significant.

What I particularly like is the flexibility. It is currently two bedrooms, but could quite easily become a three-bedroom, single-level home. You could even create four bedrooms, or three bedrooms with two living areas.

Rather than adding a full second storey, I think what next door has done makes more sense, using the excellent rear access to build a garage with additional accommodation above.

Internally, there are some relatively straightforward improvements. You could push the kitchen back into the existing storage area, improve the proportions of the rear living space and potentially create a third bedroom while keeping the bathroom centrally located. None of this is enormous money in the scheme of things, but it could add significant value and liveability.

The position is another big positive. The park is excellent, you have easy access to Richmond, the freeway and everything around you, and this is a classy pocket.

I would be surprised if there wasn’t competition for this property. My view actually improved the longer I spent there. You can live in it comfortably as it is, improve it over time, or ultimately expand it into a substantial family home.

I think this is a really good home.
