3 Royston Lane, Jan Juc VIC 3228

Elevated dual-level layout | sweeping ocean views from both floors | quiet court location near beach and village | flexible floorplan with separate retreat and study | bushfire-prone area noted. The property’s configuration is its primary competitive edge: a dual-level design that places the master suite and living areas upstairs to capture ocean outlooks, while three bedrooms or two plus a study occupy the lower level with private yard access. This separation of zones serves families seeking both shared space and individual retreat, or buyers wanting a home that functions partly as a coastal weekender with rental potential. The elevated decks, timber floors, and ducted climate control add liveability without requiring immediate renovation, and the court location reduces through-traffic while keeping the village and beach within walking distance. For a buyer prioritising outlook and flexible layout over land size, this property positions well below the suburb’s median sold price, offering a rare combination of view and practical family zoning at an entry-level ocean-view price point. The bushfire overlay is the material risk: it may increase insurance premiums and impose stricter building standards for any future extensions, though the property itself sits outside flood zones. The listing is only one day old, so early negotiation leverage is limited, but the asking range sits below the Domain mid-valuation of $1.4m, suggesting room for value growth if the market continues its 4.7% annual suburb uplift. The rental yield estimate of 3.49% is slightly above the suburb average, making this viable as a hold-and-lease strategy if occupancy is not immediate. Buyers should confirm the planning zone via VicPlan and obtain a bushfire insurance quote before offer. This property is best held as a primary residence with optional future rental income, or as a long-term coastal hold in a growing corridor.
