1/12 Bentley Street, Balgowlah NSW 2093

Private rear block | 2-bed unit in 7 | walk to village & harbour | low stock street | auction May 30 This unit sits in a low-supply pocket of Balgowlah where Bentley Street has only one other listing and strong owner-occupier tenure, which typically supports price stability and buyer competition. The rear-block position in a small block reduces street noise while keeping walkability to the village, transport and Fairlight headlands. For a downsizer or first-home buyer seeking a lock-and-leave with good school catchment access, this floorplan and location offer a rare combination of convenience and quiet. Comparable sales on the same street show consistent annual growth above 5%, suggesting the suburb’s demand base is resilient and not reliant on a single buyer profile. The key risk is the auction format with only 5 days on market, which may indicate an aggressive vendor timeline or limited pre-marketing, potentially narrowing the buyer pool. Without a recent sale history for this exact unit, pricing relies on comparables that vary by block positioning and renovation level. The buyer should verify strata condition and levy history given the 7-unit building age. If secured near the lower end of comparable range, this holds well as a long-term hold with solid rental demand from families wanting the school zone.
