32 Scrivener Street, O’Connor ACT 2602
Detached house on 613m² | 3-bed, 2-bath plus study | Inner-north leafy suburb | Strong family catchment appeal | Dual car accommodation
This property offers a rare combination in O’Connor’s current market: a genuinely substantial land holding paired with a practical, single-level house format. The 613m² block supports a 26% building coverage, leaving meaningful outdoor space that many newer infill homes in the suburb simply cannot match. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated study, the layout suits professional couples or young families who want room to grow without stepping into a full renovation project. Its position within the Lyneham school priority area adds a layer of practical value that tends to hold demand steady across market cycles. The dual carport arrangement is a quiet advantage for households with two vehicles or those needing storage for trailers or recreational gear.
The estimated rental return near $845 per week suggests strong income potential, which may appeal to buyers weighing owner-occupation against future flexibility. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes several layers of regulatory uncertainty that can complicate purchases elsewhere in the ACT. The building’s modest 160m² footprint means ongoing maintenance and energy costs should remain manageable, though the property’s final price will likely hinge on internal condition and presentation. Buyers should inspect the kitchen, bathrooms, and any extensions carefully, as mid-century homes in this suburb vary widely in upgrade quality. The block’s orientation and garden layout could also influence how much value you extract from the outdoor space over time.
