5/78 Holyrood Street, Hampton VIC 3188

Ground floor garden courtyard | walk to beach and cafes | rare private outdoor space in bayside apartment | strong comparable sale in building The configuration of this apartment is its primary competitive advantage. Ground floor units with a substantial private courtyard are uncommon in this part of Hampton, and the direct bedroom access to the terrace creates a genuine indoor-outdoor flow that most one-bedroom apartments lack. The open plan living and kitchen with breakfast bar works well for both owner-occupiers seeking a relaxed lifestyle and investors targeting the professional or downsizer demographic. The recent sale of a two-bedroom unit in the same building at $655,000 provides a reliable benchmark that supports the price guide and confirms the building holds value well over time. The main risk is the auction format itself, as buyer competition on the day could push the price beyond the upper guide if multiple parties recognise the courtyard’s scarcity. There is no recent sale data for this exact unit, so the final price will test the market. The opportunity lies in the property’s dual appeal; it suits both a first-home buyer wanting a lock-and-leave bayside base and an investor seeking low-maintenance exposure to a tightly held suburb with strong school catchments. The security intercom and ground floor position add practical safety without compromising the open feel.
