SOLD $567,000 BY GIN WU AND SUMAYYAH COCAJ

A striking, light-filled townhouse in a vibrant pocket of Preston, 1/553 Murray Road combines dramatic volume, warm materials, and everyday comfort. With street frontage, a private courtyard, and garage access, it offers an unbeatable lifestyle for first-home buyers, downsizers, or savvy investors.

Step into the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area where a pitched double-height ceiling and expansive corner windows face north and east, flooding the space with morning light while avoiding harsh summer heat. A generous north-facing balcony extends outdoors, perfect for entertaining with elevated views.

High-quality finishes include engineered oak floors, a solid oak staircase, and a dramatic stairwell void. The brick garage provides secure parking plus space for laundry, storage, or a home office, while the enclosed courtyard adds a second private outdoor area. Unlike an apartment, no one is above or below you, just your own home within a boutique community moments from Preston Market, schools, cafes, parks, and transport.

Opportunities like this are rare in Preston, there is simply no other property like it.
