14/26-28 Shackel Avenue, Brookvale NSW 2100

Ground floor east facing | 87sqm internal with private courtyard | Ocean and city views | Recently refreshed and repainted | Secure parking included The property’s competitive strength lies in its rare combination of ground-floor access, private grassed courtyard, and dual-aspect views within a 2013 build, offering house-like proportions without strata constraints. The east-facing orientation captures morning light while the elevated rear-of-block position ensures privacy, making it particularly suited to downsizers seeking single-level living or professionals wanting low-maintenance outdoor space. The recent floor refinishing and repaint reduce immediate capital outlay, and the 87sqm internal area is generous for a two-bedroom apartment in this corridor. The primary risk is the discrepancy in floor area reporting, where 64sqm may reflect net living space versus the advertised 87sqm total, potentially affecting valuation benchmarks. The 2017 sales history without a recorded price creates an opaque price discovery process, and the relatively short market exposure suggests price sensitivity. The opportunity is in the Northern Beaches Council area’s consistent demand for well-positioned apartments with outdoor amenity. This property should be held as a long-term residence or rental given its yield potential near $855 weekly, with the courtyard and views providing enduring appeal over smaller alternatives.
