What's around 27 Swallow Street

Edwardian Charm & Brilliant Bayside Family Flexibility

On the market for the first time in 3 decades, this tuck-pointed double-brick Edwardian (c. 1893) exudes plenty of the character and historical appeal one would expect as the former site of the WW2 US Naval Officers' Club. Yet step past the privacy of a high front fence, an unassumingly quaint period facade and flourishing front garden to discover a substantial 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home offering both original detail charm (colourful leadlighting & intricate cornices) and a wonderful sense of family flexibility for comfortable multi-generational enjoyment. Complemented by a kitchen featuring stainless-steel Ilve appliances, granite benchtops and dual dishwashers, the central living zones are beautifully proportioned, with the lounge (gas fireplace) adjoining a secluded study nook. Bi-fold doors retract for seamless connection between the large dining area and the outdoor oasis of a solar-heated in-ground pool and a timber-decked alfresco entertaining space complete with built-in BBQ & electric awning. All five bedrooms have built-in robes, two on the entry level with adjoining ensuites (master with an entire wall of storage), with a versatile upstairs rumpus/home office/living area stepping out to a full-width balcony overlooking the poolside setting. A clever addition in recent years, a fully self-contained and luxuriously appointed studio-style apartment suiting guests, relatives or seclusion-seeking teenagers enjoys a north-facing sun-kissed terrace and its own private entrance, adding options galore to your accommodation potential. Close to the beach, Bay St, schools, transport and the city, this cherished bayside rarity includes a remote-control double garage, central heating/cooling downstairs, reverse-cycle heating/cooling upstairs, attic storage and 10000L water storage tank.

Reference and feedback for Brendon Coburn of Buxton Real Estate Albert Park

We found Brendon to be: Very easy to relate to and an excellent communicator Very professional in his dealings with us and all people involved Knowledgeable about dealing with vendors and from what we observed, buyers as well A person who demonstrated confidence in our house presentation and Buxton’s ability to sell the property To have extensive knowledge of the market Helpful with advise about house preparation and presentation and very supportive of what we were doing to present for the sale Keeping us in the loop about progress, prospective buyers’ views and realistic expectations and kind in relation to us, our needs and the needs of our very old cat during the disruptive process of vacating the house for inspections and auction Proactive in suggesting small but effective changes we could make to better prepare for the sale Throughout the advertising and inspection period, Brendon was helpful and reassuring. At no stage did he hassle us about what we should or should not accept (in fact he was supportive about the sale price we were looking for assuring us that if we did not sell at auction the house would sell through a negotiation process – in fact we received what we wanted for the property) Brendon worked extremely well with his colleague/work partner Troy Nelson -Brendon and Troy are a fantastic team and balance each other’s styles well. In summary: Questions were answered promptly and we can't recall a time when Brendon did not answer or return our calls within a short frame of time. He provided detailed feedback about prospective buyers’ perceptions and throughout the whole process of sale we felt that we were treated with respect and consideration. Brendon was a solid calming influence, always there to offer help, advice and guidance. We felt as though we were special and that his objective was to get the best outcome for us. We have bought and sold many properties and Brendon gave us confidence that our interests were being looked after

Feedback and Reference for Troy Nelson from Buxton Real Estate Albert Park

We contacted and met with several agents to discuss the process and procedure for selling our Edwardian house. We chose to use Troy Nelson and Brendon Coburn from BuxtonWe found Troy Nelson to be: An excellent communicator Very professional in his dealings with us Knowledgeable about the processes for selling in the area and likely outcomes for us To have extensive knowledge of the local market and beyond Helpful with advise about house preparation and presentation without “going over the top” Informative keeping us in the loop about progress, price offers and market interest. On the day Troy demonstrated excellent auctioneering skills and did not hassle us at all about what we should or should not accept (in fact he achieved the sale price we were looking for) He has a dynamic personality and relates easily to everyone, vendors, would be buyers and friends who came in for a look Troy worked extremely well with his colleague/work partner Brendon Coburn both in a personal way with us and throughout the process. They are a fantastic team and balance each other’s styles well. In summary: Any questions were answered promptly and I can't recall a time when Troy did not answer or return our calls within a short frame of time. Throughout the whole process of sale we felt that we were treated with respect and consideration. Troy was extremely professional and was always there to offer help, advice and guidance. We felt as though we were special and that Troy's only objective was to get the best outcome for us. Troy is a vendor's dream - he has excellent communication skills, extensive experience and knowledge of the market and to top it all off he also personally conducts the auction. We have bought and sold many properties but Troy was the next step up. He will be the first person we call next time we need to buy or sell. We would highly recommend Troy Nelson to others wanting to put their houses/apartments on the market. Graham & Ro Holmes
