28 Portland Parade, Seaford VIC 3198

1968 brick veneer | 547sqm level block | walk to station and beach | modernised interior with strong rental yield The property presents a rare combination of period structure and contemporary finish on a full-sized block within walking distance of Seaford’s key amenities. The 173sqm floorplan with polished floors, island kitchen, and alfresco deck removes the need for immediate renovation, which is uncommon for a 1960s house in this price bracket. For a buyer seeking a low-maintenance family home or a high-yielding rental—the estimated $610 per week rent suggests a gross yield near 3.4% at the lower end of the range—this property competes well against newer townhouses that sacrifice land and parking. The gated carport and driveway space for a boat or caravan add practical value for coastal lifestyle buyers, while the absence of overlay restrictions simplifies future redevelopment or extension. The main risk is the 1968 build quality in unseen areas—plumbing, wiring, and insulation may require attention within five years, which could cost $15,000–$30,000 depending on scope. The 32% site coverage leaves room for a rear extension or second dwelling, but any such work would require council approval and careful design to avoid overshadowing the backyard. The property sits in a stable suburban corridor with good school catchment and no flood or bushfire overlay, which supports long-term capital growth. For a buyer, this is a hold-and-improve proposition: live in it as is, or rent it out while the block appreciates.
