Comments on 296 Esplanade East PORT MELBOURNE

This section of Esplanade East has tidy rows of terraces lining either side of the street. Number 296 has a smart-looking facade and front porch, and the home appears well-cared-for. Inside looks fresh too, so a busy couple looking to move in and do nothing may appreciate the no-maintenance aspect. The narrow hall does make the home feel a bit tight on entry, but the ceiling becomes higher at the back and good light enters a series of high windows to counter the south-eastern rear orientation. Under the stairs, a cleverly-customised pantry has been built in. The backyard does allow for carparking via the rear lane, but it is probably better off as the landscaped pergola that is currently installed and that is beginning to grow climbers. This will become a pleasant outdoor dining area in time, although it isn’t a huge area – the property is after all only around 146sqm in total. Upstairs is one bedroom with quite a low ceiling. It does have an ensuite, but the space is tight and it would feel a bit like showering inside a wardrobe to be quite honest. This room could take one child, but the home does feel best suited to a couple, with the spare room up top allowing flexibility for guest stays.
