South-west corner unit | premium two-bedroom two-bathroom layout | high-end finishes throughout | strong owner-occupier appeal in Chippendale This apartment sits in a well-regarded strata complex on a generous 5,452 m² site, which is unusually large for an inner-city block and suggests good common space and landscaping. The south-west corner aspect is a genuine advantage — it captures natural light across multiple exposures while avoiding the full western heat of a west-only unit. The two-bathroom configuration is less common in standard two-bedroom stock and tends to attract downsizers and professionals who value separation and convenience. The property is best suited to an owner-occupier looking for a well-finished home in a central location near the CBD, universities, and transport, rather than an investor chasing maximum yield on a minimal footprint. The 2019 sale at $1.395 million provides a useful benchmark, but the current market environment and the property’s finishes may support a higher figure. The absence of confirmed floor level, internal square metreage, and building age means the buyer should verify these directly — a low floor or older building with limited amenities could narrow the buyer pool. The corner exposure may also introduce more street noise or afternoon sun in summer, depending on the building’s orientation and glazing. These factors are not dealbreakers but they matter when forming a view on price and should be weighed against the clear strengths of layout and location.
