5/79-81 Earl Street, Kew VIC 3101

Renovated Kew townhouse | turnkey condition | below recent building comparables | strong entry price point This two-bedroom townhouse presents a rare buying case in Kew: a fully renovated interior within a 1970s brick complex, offered below the $820,000–$840,000 range achieved by two identical units in late 2025. The bespoke kitchen and bathroom, dedicated home office, and native garden setting create a low-maintenance, light-filled home that suits professional couples, downsizers, or investors seeking immediate occupancy without further capital outlay. Its position within a nine-unit complex ensures a quieter, established enclave while being moments from Kew’s shops, schools, and transport—underscoring strong demand fundamentals for this price tier. The primary risk is the single bathroom and one garage space, which may limit appeal to families or those requiring guest parking. The 1970s brick construction, while solid, may present future maintenance needs typical of the era, though the turnkey condition mitigates near-term cost. The opportunity lies in the pricing gap to recent building comparables—a $20,000–$40,000 discount that suggests room for capital growth as the market absorbs this unit. Hold for medium-term appreciation or occupy for lifestyle; the entry price and renovation quality offer a clear value buffer.
