316/126B Killeaton Street, St Ives NSW 2075

2 bed, 1 bath, 101m² | same building comps sold $1.12M | 90% owner-occupied | FTTP, air con, open car space This flat offers a rare internal size advantage over most two-bedroom comparables in the building, with 101m² versus the typical 99m², and sits in a strata complex where recent sales confirm price support at $1.12 million for a similar configuration. The 90% owner-occupied demographic and 63% long-term resident ratio signal stable building management and low turnover risk, which directly benefits a buyer seeking capital preservation in the St Ives market. The property is best suited to an owner-occupier who values space and a quiet, established complex over proximity to the village centre. The primary risk is the building’s 46-unit scale, which can dilute individual influence over special levies and future maintenance decisions, and the absence of recent rental data means resale liquidity depends entirely on owner-occupier demand. The opportunity lies in the flat’s internal square meterage being a genuine differentiator in a market where most two-bedroom units are smaller; this should command a premium at resale. Hold this property as a long-term residence, leveraging the school catchment and stable demographic for steady value growth.
