1124/5 O'Dea Avenue, Zetland NSW 2017

Top-floor oversized 1-bed | 87sqm uncommon for Zetland | renovated with balcony and pool | flood overlay flagged. The primary buying case for this unit is its rare configuration: 87sqm for a one-bedroom in a high-density suburb where most comparable units are 20–30sqm smaller. That extra space, combined with a top-floor position and recent renovation, gives a buyer a floorplan that competes with entry-level two-bedroom units on livability while avoiding the price premium of a second bedroom. It suits a professional or downsizer who values generous internal and balcony space over a parking space. The pool access and modern finish support owner-occupier appeal, which improves resale depth beyond the investor pool. The flood overlay is the specific risk here and should be quantified via a strata report and insurance quote before exchange. No parking reduces buyer pool and may soften future capital growth relative to similar units with a spot. The opportunity lies in the size advantage: in a market where one-bedroom units trade on yield and two-bedrooms on lifestyle, this unit straddles both. Hold for stable rental income or occupy for a quality inner-city layout that will remain scarce.
