Top-floor | 98mยฒ | Lewisham | 89% clearance | single-unit listing
This unitโs top-floor position within a low-density 13-unit block gives it a scarcity advantage in a market where 89% of local auctions clear. The 98mยฒ floor plan is unusually generous for a two-bedroom apartment, and the secure parking and balcony provide practical liveability that appeals to owner-occupiersโevident in the buildingโs 60% owner-occupancy rate. The property is best suited to a professional couple or downsizer seeking a long-term Inner West base with strong school catchment access and no overlay risks.
The primary risk is the 40% rental mix, which can affect building management quality and lending appetite for some buyers. However, the buildingโs stable tenure profile and the unitโs last sale in 2020 at $908,000 suggest measured capital growth rather than speculation. The auction date is fixed, so pre-auction negotiation may secure a price below the listed guide. Hold this property as a primary residence to maximise its locational and spatial advantages.
