Missing ocean views now | strata survey block limits future changes | Deco style may date fast | roof terrace only potential, not built This property carries a specific risk that will cost you. The survey strata title on a 399m² block means you cannot extend or significantly alter the house without neighbour consent, locking you into its 254m² footprint permanently. While the industrial finishes and dekton stone are high quality, the Deco aesthetic is a niche taste that could narrow resale appeal after the novelty fades. The roof terrace is approved but not constructed, you pay for potential not delivered. You should hold this as a lifestyle purchase rather than an investment first. What makes this property competitive is its newness and height. Built in 2022, it bypasses the maintenance risks older Scarborough homes carry, and the 30m elevation captures filtered ocean breezes others lack. The 254m² with two car spaces is genuinely rare for a 3-bedroom in this suburb, giving young families unusual indoor-outdoor flow with yard space already graded for a pool. It best suits a professional couple or small family wanting modern low-maintenance living near Trigg bushland without strata fees. The comparable sales from 2019 land purchase at 550k anchor your cost base firmly below current construction costs, meaning your entry price has built-in equity that later buyers will lack. Your next step is to independently verify the roof terrace engineering cost and strata by-laws before making any offer, as these determine whether the property works for you long term.
