Well-renovated Kew property has a lot to recommend it
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/august12sackville]}
49 Sackville Street, Kew, VIC, 3101
A well-renovated original home in a prized Kew precinct. Sackville Street contains many fine original homes and is leafy, yet it does carry traffic (particularly during school pick-up/drop-off times). The fact that this has car access off John Street is a big plus here, particularly in light of this.
Main pluses - the floor plan is practical and suits modern living well, block size and northern rear orientation. Backyard / rear patio is little exposed (given relative levels and block slope), yet this could be addressed if it were to become an issue for the buyer.
Also being over a single level, an older family may like better bedroom separation, yet the basement living area helps with this and provides a place for older kids to retreat to. Overall a very good property, and one that should attract good competition at the right price point.

Powerful Sackville ward Kew offering with the classic features and agent to make for an exciting auction or post-auction negotiation. Being picky out the back lets it down a bit; but overall you can smell the money as you walk through this home. Circle $4 million - in this market - yep.
