The Importance of the Sun
BY Adam Woledge 21st June 2010
Share
Shortest day of the year today – June 21 is the winter solstice, which means the shortest amount of daylight hours.
In Melbourne this also means one of the coldest days as well.
When assessing property, one of the most important criteria I believe is rear orientation. Due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis, in Australia [...]
Concept 104 – 3 Orrong Crescent Camberwell
BY Adam Woledge 19th April 2010
Share
Here is a property that prospective buyers will be thinking long and hard about – and they need to. Although livable it is need of serious renovation – the original house / facade must remain as this is protected by a statutory planning department Heritage Overlay.
Golf Links Estate is a much loved [...]
House Ceiling Heights – high or low?
BY Adam Woledge 28th March 2010
Share
Are ceiling heights important? Most people would agree that they are very important, for a variety of reasons.
Generally, most marketing campaigns for houses for sale will highlight tall ceilings and for good reason: quite simply, the rooms are more spacious and feel better. Tall ceiling heights are nearly always found in old period or high-quality [...]
Concept 104 – 21 Howard Street Kew
BY Adam Woledge 21st March 2010
Share
If you are a lover of the English Architectural style (which suits leafy Kew quite well), then you will be drawn to this house, built in 1934. Architect Victor Dumbrell got the facade proportions right here and it has stood the test of time. This is a very pretty house from the street and it is timeless.
Howard [...]
Concept 103 – 8 Moorhouse Street Camberwell
BY Adam Woledge 12th March 2010
Share
Here is a property that prospective buyers will be thinking long and hard about – and they need to. Although livable it is need of serious renovation – the original house / facade must remain as this is protected by a statutory planning department Heritage Overlay.
Moorhouse Street is one of Camberwell’s best – close to [...]
Concept 102 – 33 James Street Surrey Hills
BY Adam Woledge 28th February 2010
Share
33 James Street Surrey Hills is a property that may not immedidately impress you - in fact, you might walk straight in and then straight out. But give this one a chance: it does have a lot going for it and it would suit a young family very well.
Big pluses here are that it is [...]
Concept 101 – 35 Essex Road Surrey Hills
BY Adam Woledge 19th February 2010
Share
Generous land size and a home with and genuine house charm.
That is what is on offer here at 35 Essex Road Surrey Hills. Listing agent Clayton Smith of Jellis Craig suggested a lot could be done with this – moving the carport forward will make use of some dead driveway space and extending on a [...]
Life on the Hill
BY Adam Woledge 10th October 2009
Share
Peppin Street sits up nicely on the hill, a stone throw or two from Camberwell Junction. No. 3 is currently on the market, an honest double-fronted timber Victorian in dire need of some work.
This property has many future options – bulldoze and build again (no heritage overlay helps with this), or work [...]
Time for change in Stanhope
BY Adam Woledge 3rd October 2009
Share
105 Stanhope Street Malvern is a good example of Italianate (or late Victorian) residential architecture, and while it is been updated many times over it’s lifespan, time has come again for change.
House has plenty of positives – grand formal front rooms and solid brick building bones, a corner location and a prized [...]
The Classy Townhouse
BY Adam Woledge 29th August 2009
Share
With Melbourne’s population exploding, townhouses are becoming more and more prevalent in our suburbs. Like everything, some are good, some not so good. 35 Yeovil Road is one of the better townhouses I have seen this year.
Designed by well-known Malvern architect Gary Catt, this townhouse has suits very well modern living [...]
