Comments on 67 Cochrane Street BRIGHTON

Built only three years ago, this fine family home offers good floorplan flexibility for the growing family - with good bedroom separation and multiple living zones. The property offers families with very young children the opportunity to have their own playing space adjacent to the kitchen. This is a real bonus as it allows parents to supervise whilst in the kitchen or family/meals area. For families with teenagers, there are numerous options to change rooms into studies or teenager retreats. For example the existing stud wall between the meeting/reception and office could be removed to improve flexibility if a home office wasn't required. The outdoor areas are well landscaped and, being on one level, they improve looks and safety. The swimming pool is well positioned away from the home yet is in full view from the kitchen and living areas, essential for parents to supervise younger children. One issue while entertaining in the backyard may be the noise that was audible from traffic on North Road. Cochrane Street is also a busy through road and this will need to be considered. The property's proximity to Bay Street and Martin Street shops and cafes, as well as to some of Melbourne's best private schools, will add to its appeal. The big question is whether in ten years time this property will still have the same appeal, i.e. is it going to be a typical build for the area? If it isn’t, then that may impact growth.
