5/8 Hubert Road, Maylands WA 6051

3BR 1BA townhouse | 95sqm internal | 169sqm strata | two courtyards | modern kitchen | Maylands river pocket This property occupies a narrow but defensible position in Maylands’ lower-density strata market. The 1992 build with a renovated kitchen and two private courtyards gives it a genuine lifestyle edge over comparable townhouses in the area, most of which lack outdoor amenity of this quality. For a downsizer or professional couple, the combination of modern finishes, quiet strata of seven, and immediate proximity to De Lacy Reserve and the Swan River creates a rare walkability-to-privacy balance. The 95sqm floor plan is compact but efficient, and the two toilets add practical appeal for guests or shared living. This property suits a buyer who values location and outdoor space over square footage, and who is prepared to pay a premium for a turnkey home in a sought-after pocket. The primary risk is the heritage and flood overlay, which may constrain future renovations or extensions and could affect insurance costs. The 169sqm strata lot is small, limiting private outdoor expansion and resale appeal to families. The 2009 purchase price of $130,000 and the March 2025 sale of 3/8 at $680,000 suggest the building has appreciated steadily but not rapidly, and the current asking price sits near the top of recent comparable sales. The opportunity lies in holding for medium-term capital growth driven by Maylands’ ongoing gentrification and river proximity, rather than short-term flipping. Use this property as a lock-and-hold lifestyle purchase or a stable rental with $710–$800 per week income potential, but do not expect outsized gains without further neighbourhood uplift.
