Property data | mature 1939 home | development R25 zoning | current tenancy cap | sweeping skyline view This property’s primary risk is its zoning uplift potential being priced in before any approval, costing the buyer a premium that demands patience for returns. The lease at $650 per week until mid-2026 covers holding costs but prevents owner-occupier repositioning, effectively deferring value capture. Opportunity lies in leveraging the 999m² block and city views for future subdivision or dual-occupancy development, though this requires capital and council process—a hold for medium-term gain, not a flip. Competitively, the 220m² brick and tile structure with character features like leadlight windows and original floorboards is rare for its era in walkable Bayswater, near shops and transit. The current rental income and R25 zoning serve an investor seeking land bank with income, or a buyer willing to renovate for future yield. The hook for serious buyers is to inspect the home open, assess the workshop and bore for immediate utility, then negotiate on the basis that the property’s true value is in its land and location, not its deferred development timeline.
