Station Street and the streets toward Patterson River mix old beach cottages, brick family houses and small unit groups near the station. The river mouth and Keast Park give the southern end a different feel from a plain inland court. Houses are mostly one storey, with a few newer double-storey rebuilds on the better beach lots. Low ground is part of the setting, and some floors sit close to the garden. Carrum is in the Kingston area.
Low-lying moisture and salt mark the lower boards and the back of skirtings in houses that have had water near the subfloor. Window putty hardens and falls out of older sashes facing the bay. Fences on the river side weather faster than the sheltered street front. Unit groups have narrow entries where a ladder and a bin compete with parked cars. In Carrum, interior painting can begin from the rooms you choose. exterior painting waits on a visit. See also Parkdale, Mentone and Cheltenham.

Rebuilds can isolate an upper floor. The cottage's original lining boards and a new extension's plasterboard should not be assumed to take the same prep. In Carrum we list the rooms and the surfaces before we book the work.
