Why this Maddingley ‘f**king nice house’ has buyers lining up to see inside.*
A Melbourne real estate agent who used an F-bomb “sentence enhancer” to describe a western suburbs home has gone viral with his unapologetically Aussie sales pitch.
YPA Bacchus Marsh’s Mark Edwards’ straight-talking listing video opens innocently enough, but gets a jarring pivot when he describes the 2 Croton Lane, Maddingley, home as “a f***ing nice house”.
And the colourful language has since lit up Instagram feeds and packed out open-for-inspections.

“I just walked through the door and thought, this is a f**king nice house,” Mr Edwards said.
“No script, no over-the-top sales pitch, just exactly what I thought when I saw it. Too many agents put on an act in videos, but that’s not me.
“If I’m going to be in one, it’s going to be as ‘Mark’ as it gets, authentic, down-to-earth and pretty Aussie mate.”
The expletive-inspiring single-level home is set on a landscaped block and showcases 2.74m-high ceilings with square-set cornices in its two living zones, which also have sweeping views over the Werribee Ranges.
The poolside retreat making this Maddingley home a summer standout.
YPA Bacchus Marsh’s Mark Edwards reckons the pool area is the perfect spot for a beer, and he’s not wrong.
A generous main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with an oversized shower and stone benchtop, while two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are serviced by a stylish main bathroom with matching finishes.
The kitchen, complete with stone benches, undermount sink, premium appliances, dishwasher and a huge walk-in pantry, connects to a bright open-plan living and dining area.
From here, sliding doors open to a decked, covered alfresco with a built-in outdoor kitchen, the ideal spot for summer barbecues.
