84A Paxton Street, Malvern East VIC 3145

Modern two-storey family house | sought-after Malvern East pocket | zoned for Lloyd Street Primary | east-facing courtyard with natural light. This property offers a rare configuration advantage in a tightly held pocket: a modern 4-bedroom house with a study and east-facing courtyard that lights both levels, built in 2005 on a 392m² lot with only 40% building coverage. The low site coverage leaves three garden areas and a sense of space uncommon for a two-storey home in this price range. For a family prioritising immediate move-in condition, good school zoning, and a layout that balances openness with separation, this house competes well against older stock or smaller townhouses nearby. The main risk is the listing price guide sitting below the automated valuation, which may signal a need for cosmetic updates or a less flexible floor plan. The adjacent property’s similar size but lower estimated value suggests price sensitivity in this street. Buyers should inspect for any deferred maintenance or layout compromises that could justify negotiating below guide. The property suits a family intending to hold for at least 5-7 years, leveraging the school zone and low-maintenance garden space rather than seeking short-term capital gain.
