160 Clarkes Road, Brookfield VIC 3338
Ducted heating, split system, AC in every room | Roller shutters for security, privacy, energy | Rumpus room, formal lounge and open plan living | Recent sale in 2009 and growth in the suburb
The property offers four living zones across 269 square metres, which reduces conflict and noise transfer in a large household. The individual air conditioning units in every room and roller shutters cost the buyer roughly $15,000 to $20,000 in retrofit value if not already installed. There is also no overhead of bushfire, flood or heritage restrictions, improving insurance and renovation flexibility. The dual living areas and private master suite hold commercial logic for a growing family or as a dual-income rental, with the rumpus room easily converting to a home office or teenage retreat. A plain judgment call: this house is best held as a long-term owner-occupied home due to the generous layout and low outgoings, not as a flip or short-term investment given the five hundred and forty three square metre block is standard for the area.
The competitive strength here is the four built-in wardrobes and separate master walk-in robe that is markedly rare in this price bracket for Brookfield. The central kitchen overlooking the main living space increases daily livability and reduces square footage waste. This property serves best a couple with two or three children or intergenerational families wanting separate zones without moving to a larger town. The NBN fibre to the premises and 5G coverage support remote work, though not a prime value driver for most buyers, it reinforces the suitability for professional couple. Recent comparable sales in the suburb at an average of six hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars show the price range at seven hundred to seven hundred and fifty thousand is slightly above, but the superior condition and rumpus room justify the premium. To proceed with confidence, arrange your own inspection and review the 2009 building inspection report to confirm the roller shutter and air conditioning installation dates.
