39 Cardinia Cres, Taylors Hill VIC 3037

3 bed plus study | 604sqm block | Taylors Hill | auction May 16 The property’s configuration is its strongest card: a genuine 3-bedroom floorplan with a separate study that can serve as a fourth bedroom, combined with a 604sqm lot in a suburb where larger blocks are increasingly rare. This gives a buyer flexibility—whether as a family home with a home office or a rental with four bedrooms—without compromising on the formal lounge and open-plan living that appeal to owner-occupiers. The double garage with internal access and side access for a trailer or boat further differentiates it from newer, narrower builds. It suits a buyer who wants a modern, low-maintenance house but needs space to grow into, and the auction format suggests the vendor is serious about transacting. The main risk is the lack of recent comparable sales on the street—20 Cardinia Crescent is listed higher but not sold, so the true ceiling is unconfirmed. The 2014 purchase price of $427,000 is too old to anchor value, and the estimated range of $750,000–$830,000 leaves little margin for error if the market softens. The absence of heritage or flood overlays is neutral, but the suburb’s 15.4% growth and 3.7% rental yield suggest this is a hold-for-equity play, not a flip. Buyers should bid with a hard ceiling based on the $791,000 midpoint and treat the study as a bonus, not a value driver. Hold for five years or rent at $520 per week to cover costs.
