18 Byron Street Donnybrook VIC 3064

New 4-bedroom Donnybrook house | dual master layout | 71% site coverage | rental yield above 6% The property’s configuration is its strongest buying signal: two master bedrooms and two separate lounge areas are uncommon in new-build houses at this price point, giving it a clear edge over standard four-bedroom designs in the Donnybrook market. The 71% building coverage on a 294m² lot means the house is large relative to the land, which suits a buyer prioritising internal space over outdoor area. This house is best suited to an owner-occupier family wanting move-in convenience, or an investor targeting the upper end of the rental range, where the estimated $555 per week rent implies a gross yield above 6% at the mid-point of the price guide. The principal risk is the small land component: a 294m² lot with 210m² of building leaves minimal room for extension or capital growth from land appreciation, and resale appeal may narrow to buyers who value house size over yard space. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays reduces holding risk, but the buyer should verify whether the Opticomm fibre connection imposes ongoing costs or limits provider choice. The property should be held as a long-term rental or primary residence; short-term flipping is not advised given the land-to-building ratio.
