JAMES HOME RATING – 5 HERTFORD CRESCENT, BALWYN

POSITION
This is a very good street (like a boulevard)—emerging well (look at your neighbours), private feel, not a cut-through. Close to key lifestyle elements: schools, shops, tram. It's a position on the up.

PROPERTY
Strong floor plan: big bedrooms, multiple ensuites, solid two-level flow. Internally, some standout details—ceiling treatment, room proportions, quality flooring. The facade has presence but lacks long-term appeal—it’s bold now but likely to date. Lightweight construction and a sloping backyard raise concerns: drainage, potential dampness, and reduced usable outdoor area. These need due diligence.

PRICE
It’s a strong price for the area and especially for this block configuration. That said, it is a substantial home. Depending on buyer appetite, it could land near quote, but it's not undercooked.

SUMMARY
A lot to like here—location, internal layout, home size. But be alert to future-proofing issues: façade longevity, construction quality, outdoor usability. Solid family offering, but best approached with measured due diligence on build and drainage.
