14 De Havilland Drive, Araluen NT 0870

Colonial solid brick | Park frontage with pool | 4-car setup | Reduced to sell This property’s competitive strength lies in its uncommon combination of solid brick construction, direct park views, and a private elevated position on a 984m² lot-rare in Araluen. The 282m² floorplan, while modest in living zones, offers genuine separation for a family, and the four-car arrangement (two under carport) adds practical utility in a suburb where off-street parking is often tight. Recent exterior rendering and paint reduce immediate maintenance, and the inground pool with high-gable entertaining area creates a lifestyle package that typically commands a premium. This house suits a buyer seeking a long-term family home in a quiet pocket with school catchment advantages, where the park frontage and pool act as enduring value anchors. The key risk is the single living area, which may limit appeal for buyers needing formal and informal zones, and the 29% site coverage leaves less private yard space than the block size suggests. The $609,000 asking price sits below the estimated $620,000 value but above the recent $565,000 sale for a smaller 3-bedroom neighbour, so pricing discipline is essential. Council rates at $2,092 per annum are reasonable, and the rental yield potential of $865 per week offers a credible hold strategy if circumstances shift. Buy this house for the park outlook, the pool, and the solid bones-not for flexible interior space.
