3 bed, 2 bath, single-level | 1992 build, one family | 540m² lot, 24% coverage | bushfire & flood overlays
This house presents a competitively strong proposition for a first home buyer or growing family seeking a low-maintenance, established home in a quiet cul-de-sac. Its single-level layout, two bathrooms, and generous lot with low building coverage are rare in this price bracket for the suburb, offering immediate livability and future extension potential. The propertyÂ’s long-term ownership signals solid maintenance and a stable neighbourhood, aligning perfectly with a buyer seeking a forever home.
Decision hinges on accepting overlay risks as a permanent discount against the price. The bushfire and flood overlays impose recurring insurance costs and potential future abatement expenses, which are capitalised into its current valuation. The commercial opportunity lies in the under-utilised land; the low site coverage permits a future extension or outdoor living space without council resistance. Acquire at the lower end of the quoted range to buffer risk, hold long-term to amortise overlay costs, and leverage the land bank.
A recent sale at 15 Marbury Place, a smaller 3 bed, 1 bath house on a 360m² lot, achieved $761,000. This comparable transaction confirms the market premium for the subject property’s larger land parcel and second bathroom, justifying its price positioning above $800,000.
