3/1 Ferguson Street, Ascot Vale VIC 3032

Double-storey townhouse | 3 bedrooms study | rear-laneway carport | family-zoned Ascot Vale The property’s primary buying case rests on its dual-ground-floor study and separate living, which effectively functions as a fourth room without the premium of a full bedroom tag,this configuration edges out standard three-bedroom townhouses in the complex for home-office buyers or young families. The rear-laneway carport with electric door and low-maintenance yard reduces ongoing effort, while the 2015 purchase history and current indicative range suggest measured suburb growth rather than speculative heat. It serves best a professional couple or small family seeking a lock-and-leave townhouse within walking distance to Union Road shops and train station, where timber flooring and new carpet upstairs signal reasonable upkeep. Risk lies in the six-unit complex density: body corporate fees and neighbour proximity are not detailed, and the study-as-bedroom ambiguity may disappoint buyers needing four genuine bedrooms. The rear laneway access, while convenient, can introduce noise or privacy trade-offs. Opportunity emerges from the 3.2% rental yield potential, making this viable as a hold-and-lease property if owner-occupier demand softens. The absence of recent comparable sales in the complex means buyers must rely on suburb-wide data, but the 48% growth since 2015 supports a patient hold strategy for capital gain rather than flipping.
