58 Mitchell Street BENTLEIGH

Comments on 58 Mitchell Street BENTLEIGH

Families seeking a larger period styled home with renovation already complete, have suddenly found themselves with two almost identical homes to choose from, with the auction at nearby 26 Phillip Street scheduled one week prior to this one. 

With the property ready to move into, it may appeal to a broad range of buyers who see an opportunity to buy with the work already done, taking advantage of the savings in time, stress and uncertainty around additional costs that come with buying an older home that needs replacing or renovating. 

With four to five bedrooms, 58 Mitchell Street offers flexibility for a family with children from pre-school through teenage years and beyond.  The bedroom accommodation takes into account the flexibility necessary for children as they grow from infants to teenagers, with a room downstairs near the master and two upstairs, as well as a cinema room/retreat upstairs which is likely to keep kids (and adults) happy.

The kitchen/family/living area downstairs has a good feel, and the visual and practical indoor/outdoor connection is good. However, the roof over the alfresco area may reduce some of the northern light accessing the living areas.  This is a large house on land just under 550 sqm, and as such the lawn area is not large. This is perhaps good in terms of maintenance, but may be a consideration for families with younger children.

With choice often comes confusion. In cases like this where there are similar properties in similar locations, understanding options and determining strategy take on additional importance.
