351 Main Road West, Albanvale VIC 3021

Summary: The other side of St Albans, when you see the word Main Road West, but surprisingly it is Albanvale instead, location wise you have Brimbank shopping Centre, Watergarden, a creek nearby if you like to do walking or bike riding. It is on the main road though, so traffic and noise might be an issue during peak hours. Very close to primary school if you have kids, double option for this area. Triple if you willing to travel an extra 1 minutes by car. Overall a very good location, with a warming feeling cozy looking home. Unique feature wall style with condition kept fairly good. Not much of grass to maintain, no front fence with your neighbours so perhaps you might get a free lawn cut from them! A front lawn chair and a small garden out of your neighbour’s front lawn certain bring charm and many greeting if they sit out there. Contract and Section 32 wise it is not too much of a concern, however a missing Council Rate is require as we do not know the current outgoing.

Personal Thoughts

Nice and cozy looking house, it have that warm inviting feeling. There is an odd panel on the wall next to the roof, perhaps it is a Solar Panel unit? These brick ‘wallpaper’ wall look is certainly rare, you won’t often see this style. It give the property a bit of charm and uniqueness along with the ceiling fan. Nice hardwood flooring, it seem to be recent renovated or being kept in a well maintain conditions. Kitchen also got renovated as well so that also nice. Rarely do you see feature wall like this, it also in the Bedroom as well, no work has been done in the bathroom? It seem to be the original tile of many years ago. One personal dislike is the odd shape of bedroom 2, but perhaps because of this that Master Bedroom is truly a Master (bigger size).

Now in relation to the contract.
