Comments on 49 Florence Road SURREY HILLS

49 Florence Road, Surrey Hills offers a layout that is clearly designed with family living in mind. The floorplan has good separation between zones, giving parents privacy at the front of the home with the main bedroom, while children or guests can occupy the three secondary bedrooms and retreat in their own dedicated wing. This balance makes it functional for families at different life stages, from young children through to teenagers.

The double garage with internal access is a practical inclusion, though it is worth noting the steps leading into the house. For some buyers this could raise questions around long-term accessibility, particularly for downsizers, older relatives, or families managing prams. The block itself is generous at over 800sqm, but the rear yard feels small in proportion to the land size, which may be a consideration for those seeking expansive outdoor space. On the positive side, the ceiling heights throughout the home create a sense of openness and scale but to be frank, they haven’t got the proportions perfect and that could be why it didn’t attract in a limited market last year. Natural light in some areas is also not as good as it could be.

While the single-level design typically appeals to downsizers, the internal steps may limit that market. For families, however, the overall layout remains very liveable and feels like a low maintenance house. The location is another strong point, with a pedestrian crossing at the end of Florence Road providing easy access to Union Station. The home also benefits from close proximity to Union Street cafés and shopping, along with a good selection of schools and parks nearby, which reinforces the family-friendly appeal.
