New build | 4 bed 2 bath | 214m² internal | 471m² lot | Bushfire overlay
This property presents a competitively modern house in a uniformly recent estate, offering a functional layout with dual living areas and above-average internal space for its cohort. Its slightly larger lot and lower building coverage than the immediate comparable at number 35 provide a marginal edge in outdoor utility and perceived spaciousness, best serving a owner-occupier seeking a turnkey family home in a known school catchment. The absence of flood or heritage constraints simplifies due diligence.
The primary risk is the identified bushfire overlay, which necessitates specific insurance assessment and may incur compliance costs. The valuation sits at the premium end of recent street sales, demanding scrutiny against the $846k May 2025 sale of number 34. With no rental estimate available, investor appeal is unquantified. Acquire only if the modern specifications justify the price premium over nearby sold properties, holding as a long-term primary residence to absorb estate maturation.
Nearby sales establish a clear street benchmark:
– 34 Sawmill Dr: Sold $846k (May 2025)
– 12 Sawmill Dr: Sold $825k (Recent)
– 35 Sawmill Dr: Estimated $907k
This positions number 36’s estimated value at a significant premium, requiring justification through its newer build, larger lot, or superior finishes not detailed in the data.
