28 Hawkstone Road, Manor Lakes VIC 3024

4 bed family home | Manor Lakes | 59% site coverage | no overlays The property presents a strong buying case for families seeking a modern home with genuine separation of living zones. The 59% building coverage on a 447m² lot is unusually efficient, delivering a theatre room, separate lounge, and alfresco space without sacrificing private backyard area. The master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, combined with built-in robes in all other bedrooms, removes the need for immediate upgrades. Zoned for Manor Lakes P-12 College with no bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies due diligence and insurance. This property suits owner-occupiers who value functional layout over land banking, and its configuration is rare in this price bracket for the suburb. The main risk is the 2010 build age now sitting at 16 years, meaning major systems may need attention within five to seven years. The 240-265m² building on a 447m² lot leaves limited scope for extension without sacrificing outdoor space. Rental yield at $420-$500 per week on a $640k-$665k list price is modest for investors. The opportunity lies in buying below the $659k estimated value if negotiations soften after 8 days on market. Hold this property as a long-term family home and renovate selectively when systems require replacement.
