Beachside two-storey | 2014 built | high coverage | bushfire overlay | sunset decks
This property presents a competitively strong, modern beach house in a premier coastal location, recently renovated and offering immediate lifestyle appeal. Its two-storey design on a smaller lot maximizes living space, appealing to buyers seeking a low-maintenance, high-amenity home close to the sand. The reliable NBN and sunset decks are supporting value-adds. This house best serves an owner-occupier prioritizing contemporary coastal living over expansive outdoor land.
The decision hinges on its premium pricing against valuation estimates and inherent risk mechanisms. The bushfire overlay imposes ongoing insurance and potential compliance costs. The high building coverage limits expansion and outdoor space. Opportunity exists if purchased below the listed range, banking on the scarce, renovated product in the area. Our judgment is to proceed only at a sharp discount to list price, treating it as a permanent lifestyle hold, not a land-bank investment.
Nearby comparable at 10 Belair Avenue shows a similar 4-bedroom house on a larger block with lower coverage, estimated at $847k. This property’s smaller land size and higher coverage justify a lower value, challenging its current listing premium. The significant disparity between the listing price and lower domain valuation estimate requires cautious negotiation.
