821/74-76 Northbourne Avenue, Braddon ACT 2612

North-facing 8th floor | overlooks pool, shielded from street | fully furnished | 56m² one-bedroom in Braddon’s most active rental corridor | owner-occupied majority building. This unit’s competitive edge is its configuration and position within a well-held building. The north aspect over the pool, combined with the 8th-floor buffer from Northbourne Avenue noise, is rare for a one-bedroom in Braddon. Being fully furnished and modern reduces immediate outlay for an investor or downsizer. The building’s 70% owner-occupancy signals stable management and lower turnover risk, which supports both capital preservation and rental demand. It suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance city-fringe base with immediate rental income potential, or a first-time buyer wanting a turnkey home in a proven precinct. The primary risk is the listing price sitting below the building’s recent comparable sales and Domain midpoint, which may reflect shorter market time or vendor motivation rather than a discount. The 56m² is compact; buyers should verify furniture footprint and storage adequacy. Rental estimates vary widely, so a realistic yield of around 5.5–6% is prudent rather than optimistic. The absence of flood or bushfire overlays removes headline risk, but the building’s age and strata records should be reviewed for special levy history. Hold for at least five years to recover transaction costs, or use as a core rental holding in a supply-constrained suburb.
