67 Starkey Street, Forestville NSW 2087

Private driveway | 847m² north-east block | pool and terraces | walk to village and Killarney Heights High | no flood overlay This property occupies an unusual position for Forestville: a large north-east facing block with a private driveway, pool, and multiple outdoor terraces, all within walking distance of the village and Killarney Heights High. The 26% building coverage on 847m² leaves genuine expansion or landscaping potential, and the elevated, light-filled layout with district outlooks is rare in this price band. It serves families who need flexible indoor-outdoor zones and want a house that feels set apart without sacrificing walkability. The high owner-occupier ratio and low turnover on Starkey Street reinforce the holding strength. The bushfire overlay is the primary constraint, likely raising insurance costs and limiting certain renovations without council approval. The 2022 sale price is unknown, so the buyer lacks a clear benchmark for negotiating against vendor expectations. Rental demand is solid at $1,350 per week, but the house is better suited as a long-term family home than a pure investment. The opportunity lies in buying below the estimated $2.68 million value while the listing is fresh and agents are gauging interest. Hold for at least five years and consider adding a studio or extending the rear terrace to capture further value.
