4/73 Laburnum Street, Blackburn VIC 3130

2-bed unit | 2-car parking | courtyard lifestyle | top school zone | Blackburn station close | strong rental demand This unit offers a rare combination of two dedicated car spaces and a private courtyard within walking distance of Blackburn Station, making it unusually competitive for downsizers and young families who need both transport access and outdoor space without the maintenance of a house. The Box Hill High School zone adds a premium that typically sustains value above comparable units without it, and the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays reduces transaction friction. The property suits buyers seeking low-maintenance living with strong rental fundamentals, as the estimated $570 weekly income supports investor demand. The primary risk is the unit’s position within a five-property complex with a short average owner tenure, which may indicate lower long-term owner-occupier stability and potential body corporate variability. The 2023 sale of 1/73 at $761,000 provides a floor, but the guide range of $840,000–$860,000 must be justified by superior condition, fit-out, or courtyard quality—verify these directly. The building size of 120 square metres should be confirmed as usable floor area. If the courtyard is exclusive-use and the parking is side-by-side rather than tandem, the premium over the 2023 comparable is justified. Hold this property for steady capital growth tied to school demand and transport access, or rent for a reliable 4% gross yield.
