17/60 Port Jackson Circuit, Phillip ACT 2606

Top-floor corner unit | 76m² light-filled layout | walk to Woden Town Centre | single carport only This property’s competitive edge lies in its top-floor position on a large 2685m² block, offering privacy and natural light rarely matched in this price bracket. The open-plan living with remote blinds and a private balcony gives the feel of a larger apartment, while the generous bedroom sizes and full bathroom with separate bath and shower make it genuinely livable for a couple or small family. For first-home buyers or downsizers seeking low-maintenance living within walking distance of the hospital, CIT, and government offices, this unit offers a rare combination of space and convenience at a price point well below the suburb’s median two-bedroom unit value. The lack of on-site parking beyond a single carport and the dated energy efficiency rating are material risks that limit appeal to car-dependent households and may increase ongoing utility costs. The 1996 purchase price of $130,000 and 2018 sale of $342,500 show steady but unspectacular capital growth, and the current estimated value range of $438,000 to $445,000 reflects a market that has not fully caught up to Phillip’s broader growth. However, the low entry point relative to the suburb median and the strong rental yield potential around 5.4% make this a viable hold for an investor or a sensible long-term home for an owner-occupier who can accept the parking constraint. Buy this property for its liveable layout and location advantage, not for short-term capital gains.
