This property sold 2024 for $1,620,000 unrenovated, with a build easily in the $1.2-$1.5, will developer make any money in a weak market?
The property combines a beautifully retained Edwardian façade with a substantial contemporary renovation, creating the type of turnkey family home that remains difficult to find in central Brunswick. The photography highlights generous proportions, excellent northern light and a strong open-plan connection to the landscaped rear garden. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated study and secure accommodation for two cars give the home genuine family functionality, while the 652m² allotment provides considerably more land than many competing inner-north properties.
The key consideration is value at the upper end of the Brunswick market, where the buyer pool becomes more selective. The Statement of Information identifies 9 Barkly Street, Brunswick East, a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-car home, which sold before auction for $2.95m in June 2026, as the only recent comparable the agent considered sufficiently relevant. That evidence provides reasonable support around the lower end of the guide, with Edmends Street’s larger 652m² land holding, architectural finish and double garage forming the basis for any premium above that result.
