706/15 Playfield Street, Chermside QLD 4032

7th-floor corner unit | Westfield 150m | dual-balcony layout | 85sqm internal | resort pool and gym This unit occupies a strong position in Chermside’s densest amenity corridor, with the primary advantage being its dual-aspect layout and private balcony access from both bedrooms — a rare configuration in high-rise apartments that typically reserve outdoor space for the living area only. The separate toilet, study nook, and modern kitchen with gas cooktop align the property squarely with professional owner-occupiers or downsizers seeking genuine liveability, not just investment-grade floorplates. The 7th-floor elevation and secure basement parking further differentiate it from competing stock in the 52-unit building, where recent sales have been limited and auction clearance is zero — suggesting a buyer who negotiates carefully can secure a premium unit without premium competition. The primary risk is the building’s 45% rental composition, which can affect lending appetite for some buyers and may introduce more transient neighbour turnover than a purely owner-occupied complex. The suburb’s 18.5% growth rate and 3.9% rental yield are strong, but the unit’s value estimate range of $650k to $760k is wide, indicating low recent transaction evidence to anchor pricing. The opportunity lies in the fresh listing status and the absence of flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays, combined with FTTP and 5G coverage that support remote work — a feature that should be leveraged in negotiation rather than treated as a given. For a buyer who values walk-to-Westfield convenience and a genuinely usable two-bedroom layout, this unit offers a rare combination of position and plan that justifies a disciplined offer below the top of the range.
