Elevated Californian Bungalow | 16.8m frontage on 659m² | Architect-reimagined | Proximity to village, station, beach
This property presents a rare combination of a substantial, architecturally redesigned family home on a wide block in a premier bayside location. The five-bedroom, dual-living format with north-facing family zones caters specifically to upsizers seeking space and light within a walkable catchment to amenities and transport. Its architect-led design and elevated position distinguish it from standard stock, targeting a buyer segment that values both character and modern functionality.
The primary risk is the valuation gap, with the listing likely positioned above the estimated range, requiring immediate comparable sales validation. The 2007 last sale indicates significant vendor equity, potentially reducing price flexibility. Acquire only if due diligence confirms a premium justified by its unique attributes and land value; otherwise, the market offers more transparent opportunities. This house is a long-term hold for an owner-occupier, not a short-term proposition.
