39 Shepherd Street, Braybrook VIC 3019

Large 601sqm block | 1950s detached house | Inconsistent room count | School catchment included This property’s strongest competitive edge is its 601-square-metre lot, which is notably larger than much of Braybrook’s newer infill housing. A detached house from the 1950s on this size block is increasingly rare in the inner west, and it positions the property well for a family seeking a traditional suburban footprint with room for a yard, parking, and potential future reconfiguration. The school-zone alignment with Sunshine Harvester Primary and Braybrook College adds practical appeal for owner-occupier families, while the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies planning and insurance. This property serves best a buyer who values land size over a polished interior and is comfortable with an older house that may need updating. The inconsistent published bedroom and bathroom counts—three bedrooms and one bathroom in one source, four and two in another—may affect how the property is appraised by lenders and compared by buyers, and could lead to negotiation if the actual configuration is smaller than expected. The reported building area also varies significantly, from 114 to 229 square metres, which might signal an extension or a misrepresentation in earlier listings. A buyer should verify the internal layout and any unapproved works before forming a price view, as the land’s value is clear but the house’s condition and compliance may introduce cost.
