11/17 Kent Street, Richmond VIC 3121

gated rear townhouse | reverse floorplan | north-facing balcony | 2BR 2BA carport | compact 67sqm lot This townhouse is competitively positioned as a rare inner-city configuration that combines the privacy of a rear-positioned gated complex with the practical edge of a reverse floorplan. The north-facing upper bedroom and full-width balcony draw in light and airflow, which is unusual for compact lot sizes in Richmond’s apartment-heavy stock. With a carport and two bathrooms, it serves best for owner-occupier professionals or downsizers who want lock-and-leave convenience without sacrificing a house-like layout. Its walkability to West Richmond Station and Bridge Road reinforces a location-based appeal that tends to support stable demand in this corridor. The small land size and the presence of a flood overlay may materially affect how a buyer weighs long-term value, particularly if land banking or future extension is a goal. The compact footprint limits outdoor utility, but for a household prioritising location and security over space, this might be a manageable trade-off. The rental yield implied by the configuration is reasonable, though the asking price should be tested against actual off-market benchmarks. Any premium over comparable units would need to be justified by the townhouse form and parking, not by land area.
