245/90 Old Canterbury Road, Lewisham NSW 2049

1 bed, 70sqm, Lewisham | 10% above median | 90% owner-occupied block | school catchment edge This unit’s competitive strength lies in its size—70sqm internal for a one-bedroom is uncommon in inner-west strata stock, giving it genuine appeal for owner-occupiers seeking space over a studio or shoebox layout. The building’s 90% owner-occupier ratio signals a stable, well-maintained block with lower turnover risk, which typically supports capital preservation. Positioned 0.4km from Lewisham Public School and within the Dulwich High catchment, it suits a professional couple or single buyer prioritising schooling proximity and a quieter residential pocket. The primary risk is the price premium—listed roughly 10% above the Lewisham one-bedroom median—which may limit immediate resale upside and narrow the buyer pool to those willing to pay for square metres rather than location alone. No parking and a circa-1990 build without recent sales in the complex introduce valuation uncertainty, though the brief market exposure (3 days) suggests potential negotiation room if the vendor is motivated. For an investor, the low rental proportion (10%) may cap yield, but for an owner-occupier, the configuration and community stability present a defensible entry point.
