30/24-28 College Cres, Hornsby NSW 2077

West-facing balcony with sunset views | Flood overlay detected | Across from Barker College | Rooftop entertainment area | Competitive pricing below estimate This unit’s strongest buying case lies in its positioning , west-facing for afternoon light and sunset views, plus a rooftop area that adds amenity rarely found in this price band. The open-plan layout with gas cooking and split-system air conditioning meets modern expectations, and being across from Barker College and 700m from Hornsby Station gives it a dual appeal to both professionals and families seeking school proximity. With the property listed below its $695k estimate and the suburb showing 3% growth and a 4.6% rental yield, the buyer enters with immediate equity potential and strong rentability at around $730 per week. It serves best as a long-term hold for an owner-occupier or as a low-maintenance investment for a landlord targeting the professional renter market. The flood overlay is the primary risk , it was detected and may increase insurance premiums or complicate financing, so a full inspection and insurer quote should be obtained before exchange. The west aspect, while good for light, can mean higher cooling costs in summer, though the split-system air conditioning mitigates this. With 60% owner-occupancy in the building, the tenant mix is stable, and the 2020 sale at $599,950 shows steady capital growth. The opportunity is to negotiate below the $670k guide given the flood overlay and recent listing, then hold for medium-term capital gain and rental income.
