2/89 Calais Road, Scarborough WA 6019

Small group of 4 | Opposite park | Walk to beach | Good school catchment | Renovated bathroom Positioned in a tightly held group of only four townhouses, this 3×2 offers a rare combination of low-density living, beach proximity and direct park outlook. The location is genuinely walkable to the foreshore, Doric Street cafes, and within the Churchlands Senior High School intake area. The layout works for downsizers or professionals: upstairs has two bedrooms, a second living area and a north-facing balcony; the ground floor includes a renovated bathroom and a rear courtyard off the dining room. The property sits in a strong lifestyle suburb where similar three-bedroom houses sell within a fortnight, and the estimated value suggests an asking price around $1 million may represent a discount compared to the broader median. However, the townhouse sits on a strata lot within a 1012 m² block, meaning the individual land area is limited and common property responsibilities apply. Built in 1992, it may require attention to roof, plumbing or paint depending on maintenance history. The asking price is noticeably below the estimated range, which raises questions about condition, strata levies or sale motivation. Comparable data from the same street shows a near-identical unit valued at $1.231m, so any gap needs verification. The report should test whether the strata structure, building condition and recent sales justify the price, or whether the low-mid $1m ask signals hidden risks.
