49 Bavin Street, Curtin ACT 2605

3-bed 1965 house on 694m² in Curtin | Bushfire overlay present | 50% auction clearance | $720/week potential rent This property offers a rare configuration in Curtin: a full-sized 694m² block with only 20% building coverage, providing significant future extension or redevelopment optionality. The 1965 build is structurally sound but dated, meaning a buyer can add value through renovation without paying a premium for someone else’s work. The location within walking distance of Curtin Primary and with reliable NBN and 5G makes it viable for families or professionals. At an estimated $996,000 against a suburb median of $1.3 million, it sits below the typical entry point for a detached house in this area. The bushfire overlay is the primary risk, potentially affecting insurance costs and future development approvals. The 50% auction clearance rate in Curtin suggests a softer market where buyer competition may be limited, offering negotiation room. However the low building coverage and 694m² lot create a genuine opportunity for a buyer willing to manage the overlay constraints. The property suits someone seeking a long-term hold with renovation upside rather than a turnkey purchase.
