30 Francis Street, Darlinghurst NSW 2010
3-bed terrace with 3 baths | rare larger-format layout in Darlinghurst | walkable to CBD and Hyde Park | suits downsizers or families | parking constrained
A three-bedroom, three-bathroom terrace is rarely found within Darlinghurst’s predominantly small-apartment stock. The property’s scale and configuration are positioned for buyers wanting genuine space in an inner-city setting, where much of the local supply consists of one-bedroom character units. A strong fit is offered for premium downsizers or families, given the terrace form and triple bathrooms, as well as the village-level convenience on the edge of the CBD near Hyde Park. The competitive edge is found in a larger-format dwelling within a market dominated by compact apartments.
Value may be influenced by parking constraints, which could narrow appeal among car-owning purchasers. The quality of interior condition and finishes may significantly affect price, particularly when compared with a renovated standard. The balance between heritage charm and modern functionality may also be expected to shape buyer perceptions at this level.

Market Insight
Darlinghurst is an inner-city market defined by detached-house scarcity (1.0% of stock) and apartment prevalence (58.2%). House median sits around $2.9 million, with annual growth of 12.1–19.8%; unit median near $950,000, growth ranging from -4.9% to 6.3%. Demand comes from young professionals, downsizers, and investors seeking CBD proximity. Supply is extremely tight-seven dwelling approvals a year over five years-against projected population growth of 1,393 by 2041. Rental yields are modest (houses 2.5%, units 4.4%), with median house rent $925–$1,095 weekly. The market is thin: about 67 house sales annually. Risks centre on affordability-median mortgage near $3,000 monthly, above national averages-and rate sensitivity from low turnover. Limited supply and steady demand favour price stability rather than sharp falls.
