18/43 Hampton Circuit, Yarralumla ACT 2600

Two-storey townhouse | opposite parkland | 127m² with basement parking | prestigious Yarralumla This property presents a competitively rare offering: a two-storey townhouse configuration opposite parkland in the tightly held Yarralumla precinct, providing a low-maintenance lifestyle with the spatial benefits of a house. Its two secure basement car spaces are a significant premium in such developments, and the 127m² internal area is above average for a two-bedroom unit, serving an owner-occupier seeking prestige and convenience or an investor targeting a high-amenity tenant pool. Proceed with a clear assessment of its carrying costs. Annual rates exceed $14,500, and potential land tax is substantial, eroding investment yield. The wide variance in quoted land size signals a need for precise due diligence on title and body corporate arrangements. This property is best acquired as a long-term hold for personal use, where its locational prestige and living quality justify the ongoing outlays, rather than as a short-term investment asset. The analysis lacks specific, recent comparable sales data for this exact building type and location, which is a critical gap. To establish a credible offer price, you must urgently source sales evidence for similar two-storey townhouses within the immediate Yarralumla and adjacent Deakin precincts from the last six months. Without this, you are negotiating without a benchmark.
