29 Thomas Street WINDSOR

Comments on 29 Thomas Street WINDSOR

This is indeed a rare offering – an 1880 Victorian factory that has undergone a quality renovation, with third floor views over Melbourne, and Chapel Street shops and cafes. The current floorplan provides for a substantial home office/showroom on the ground floor, three bedrooms on the second floor and a kitchen/family room on the third floor. This layout may appeal to buyers wanting to run a home-based business close to all the action, but still having all the essentials needed in a family home, except an outdoor playing area. On the other hand, the property's floorplan works well for teenagers, with the second living area providing flexibility and separation. Older children and those at university will enjoy the property’s proximity to public transport and its central location to popular Chapel Street. Concerns for those living in the property are the lack of on-street parking. There is a garage, but it is unlikely to fit two family cars. The lift from the garage allows you to unload shopping or children directly from the car up into the house. The third floor kitchen/family room is the stand-out room for me, as its northerly orientation and large deck gives it a bright and airy feel and has great views over the roof tops to the city beyond. Its proximity to Swinburne University creates a busy street environment 24/7 and its higher price may have contributed to the property not selling last year with another agent.
