Comments on 72 Clarke Street PRAHRAN

72 Clarke Street is a well-located, move-in-ready home with a renovation that blends practicality and comfort. Its single-level layout is highly functional and suits a range of buyers, from downsizers looking for ease of living to young families and professional singles or couples seeking a low-maintenance home. The home’s interior has a welcoming feel, enhanced by a private rear yard that provides a quiet outdoor space.
 
The location here is a key strength - positioned within walking distance of Hawksburn Village, offering convenient access to shops, cafes, restaurants, and public transport.

The main concerns for this property are the south-facing rear, its position opposite a commercial site (BMW dealership), the smaller main bedroom and the lack of undercover car parking.

While it’s common for homes of this age to lack covered parking, it may be a drawback if you’re a car enthusiast - that said, the property does offer the convenience of off-street parking for one car, accessed easily from the front. The south-facing rear is mitigated by the design, including raised ceilings, north-facing highlight windows, and skylights that bring in plenty of natural light. Although the physical main bedroom is small, it still meets modern expectations with a walk-in robe and an ensuite, offering both functionality and comfort.

The position opposite the BMW dealership will be a drawback for some buyers, and it is worth considering the sites commercial zoning and the potential for future development (STCA) and understand what that means and how this can impact 72 Clarke.

Overall, this property delivers a practical and well-executed renovation in a highly accessible location, with a layout that will appeal to a variety of lifestyles. For those wanting to secure a spot in this location and as long as the buyer understands the concerns - the property's drawbacks are what help keep it more affordable.
