216A Shaftesbury Avenue, Bedford WA 6052

Modern entertainer’s home | Bedford pocket | 4-bed duplex alternate | pool and alfresco | high rental demand This property occupies a strong position in Bedford’s strata-titled duplex market, where a 2017 build with 302sqm of internal space, a below-ground pool, and a walk-in scullery is uncommon. The configuration—four bedrooms, two living areas, and a separate office—suits both professional couples and families seeking a lock-and-leave home with rental flexibility. The 61% building coverage on 492sqm is efficient, not cramped, and the tropical landscaping and artificial turf reduce ongoing maintenance. For a buyer, the competitive edge lies in the home’s condition and amenity relative to nearby older stock; it competes directly with the adjacent 216B but offers a more refined layout. This property best serves a buyer who values modern finishes, indoor-outdoor flow, and a strong rental yield without needing a large landholding. The primary risk is the strata title and duplex zoning, which may limit future subdivision or major alterations and could affect resale to buyers seeking freehold land. The building size discrepancy between sources (218sqm vs 302sqm) suggests the smaller figure likely excludes garage and alfresco, so a buyer should verify measurements to avoid valuation surprises. Solar panels and FTTP connectivity are supporting features, not deal-makers. The opportunity is clear: acquire a near-new home in a proven rental corridor with no bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays, and hold for stable cash flow or eventual capital growth as Bedford’s infill demand rises. Use it as a primary residence with a home office, or lease it out for $1,200–$1,360 per week.
