335/9 Crystal Street, Waterloo NSW 2017

Top-floor dual-level | renovated throughout | northerly park views | resort amenities included This property occupies a rare position in Waterloo’s Crown Square precinct: a dual-level, top-floor apartment with a wide northerly terrace overlooking parkland, in a building with a heated indoor pool, sauna, and gym. The renovation is comprehensive and recent , kitchen, timber floors, stone benches , which removes immediate capital outlay for a buyer. At 155 square metres internal, the floorplan is generous for an apartment, and the two basement car spaces plus storeroom add functional weight. This unit suits a professional couple or small family seeking low-maintenance urban living with genuine amenity, or an investor targeting the premium end of the rental market where yield sits near 5.5 percent and weekly rent is estimated above $1,450. The primary risk is the flood overlay on the title, which may affect insurance premiums and future lending appetite from some banks. Strata levies at $2,582 per quarter are not excessive for a building of this calibre but should be stress-tested against sinking fund projections. The property last traded in August 2022 for $1.12 million, and current estimates place it between $1.28 and $1.38 million , a 15 to 23 percent uplift in under four years, which is strong but not yet overheated for this precinct. The buyer should commission a full strata inspection and confirm the flood overlay’s practical impact on insurance. Hold for medium-term capital growth driven by Waterloo’s ongoing master-plan densification, or lease immediately for a net rental return above 4.5 percent.
