Located just a short walk to Wembley Primary and sitting within its catchment zone, Marlow Street provides a fantastic location for a budding family. A quiet street ornamented with a mix of original character home and new builds, has close proximity to the local amenities of Cambridge Street, the coast and the CDB.

What the owners loved about living here: 

We have owned our home for 25 years, our kids were born here and we have loved every minute of it.

As our family grew, the backyard provided hours of entertainment of all. Many games of footy, cricket and kids parties have taken place in the backyard over the years and have provided us with fantastic memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

The close proximity to the beach has been advantageous over the summer months, but most of all the community spirit and values in this family oriented suburb are really evident, it is the main reason why we love living in Wembley so much.

In this edition of your WPL I am excited to introduce STREET TALK, a micro view of what is happening in your street. I hope you will enjoy this concept and in this edition its NANSON street that is under the microscope.

As a general comment, OMG….. Can you believe that we are into round 7 of the AFL season, ANZAC day & Easter has come and gone and the Winter period is at our door step! Well all that aside Wembley property is HOT property. At the moment lower than normal supply of good family homes and a high demand, coupled with interest rate cuts and continued positive sentiment is seeing great prices achieved by some agents.

Please don’t hesitate to call me anytime to discuss any of your real estate needs.

As we move into April (and i can’t believe that we are in April of 2012) last month, being March, showed strong performance in  both listing numbers and sales volumes. The upper end of the market in Wembley is on the move and some fantastic prices into the high $1 million mark were achieved in March,which is fabulous for the suburb.

Interest rates are on hold again and with the Easter break now here, families can get together and not just eat chocolate but discuss important issues such as real estate,  who knows what might happen into April and beyond.

Personally I am looking forward to a little break with my family and would like to wish you and your family a very happy and safe Easter.

The Wembley Property Ladder this week is brought to you from Envy on Cambridge, a great little spot and one of the many businesses popping up in the area. What I have decided to do, is not just talk about real estate and the market but also speak about local businesses in the area, which create the great infrastructure, a major reason why people love Wembley. Enjoy!

Envy was established on 2nd November 2011. It is the brain child of Allison Farley and Cinci Marsden who both decided that Wembley was lacking child-friendly eating places and ones with good coffee! When the NAB building became vacant Allison was talking to Cinci regarding the size of the place and the frontage and windows that could easily be turned into an icecream parlour. Cinci and Ally decided there was no other places nearby that you can get a coffee, icecream and something to eat with the kids unless you paid for parking in Subi and tromped a long way to get from that carpark!

Allison is a big ”Foodie” and Cinci has her own mobile Coffee van business so it was a good fit. They both live locally and enjoy all the Wembley and surrounding area has to offer.

All their frozen yogurt and icecream is made on premises from fresh ingredients, as well as sandwiches, wraps,slices and cakes etc are baked on site to provide tasty, gourmet treats to the locals. Envy has it’s  own special blend of gourmet coffee which is a Mexican Organic bean from a single region so come in and give us them a try. They have many regulars coming for their coffee from all around so they must be doing something right!

Ice cream cakes are made to order and I am told they are planning on holding Birthday parties with a decorate your own sundae/muffins theme and games on the grass. Or a Magician can be provided for extra fun!

The venue is bright, colourful and staff are friendly so I encourage you to make it down and say G’day to the girls.
