7 Proudfoot Street MONT ALBERT

Comments on 7 Proudfoot Street MONT ALBERT

What is there not to like about this home? It has that quaint, old English feel, but there is a lot more to it than just charm.
 
The big three for me are feel, floor plan and finishes, and they all lead to the fourth F, flow. It is a home that just works. The rooms connect well, there is good separation where you want it, and the living areas feel comfortable rather than overly formal. It has character without feeling old or compromised.
 
The quality is also obvious. From the garden design and landscaping through to the work at the rear and the renovated garage, it feels like money has been spent properly. Inside, the hydronic heating, double glazing and level of finish reinforce that. This isn't a home where I am immediately looking around and building a list of things that need to be done.
 
The one thing I did notice is a slight slope through parts of the floor, both downstairs and upstairs. It may be nothing of consequence, but it is noticeable enough that I would want to understand it properly through the building inspection rather than ignore it.
 
Position is another big tick. This is a particularly good pocket of Mont Albert. It is quiet and residential, yet you are close to Union Road for cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, as well as the train.
 
The street itself also has a settled, established feel, with good surrounding homes and very little reason for someone buying here to want to leave the immediate area.
 
Overall, there is a lot working in its favour. Good architecture, genuine character, a functional floor plan, strong finishes, established gardens and a location that gives you both quiet and convenience. Even in a tougher market, quality homes in tightly held positions tend to stand apart, and I think this one will get good interest.
