2/2 Freshwater Parade, Claremont WA 6010

Ground floor renovated flat | small nine-unit building | premium Claremont school catchment | downsizer and investor target The property presents a competitively positioned ground-floor apartment within a tightly held small-scale building, a configuration that is uncommon in the Claremont market and often commands a premium from buyers seeking single-level living without strata complexity. The renovation, timber flooring, and modern kitchen and bathroom have removed the immediate cost and inconvenience of updates, while the location within the catchment for both Freshwater Bay Primary and Shenton College adds a structural demand layer that protects resale value. The building’s modest size and lack of recent sales within it suggests limited stock churn, meaning this unit is likely to attract both owner-occupier downsizers and investors who value low turnover and stable rental demand at around $765 per week. A key risk lies in the single-bathroom layout, which may limit appeal for two-income sharers or families, though it is standard for a 1960s-era unit. The building’s age (1965) is not a concern given the renovation, but buyers should verify that common area reserves are adequate for any future structural maintenance—especially given the small number of owners. The absence of flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays is a minor positive, but the lack of transparent recent sales data in this specific building introduces some valuation uncertainty; this can be turned into an opportunity if the property is priced below the $1.00–1.12m estimated range, as comparable but unrenovated units in the suburb often command a discount. For a buyer prepared to act on inspection feedback quickly, this is a character-risk-light opportunity in a location where quality stock seldom lingers.
