4/11 Beatrice Street, Hawthorne QLD 4171

Private courtyard townhouse | quiet cul-de-sac complex | walk to Hawthorne village & ferry | updated interior with low-maintenance grounds. This townhouse occupies a strong position within a small, well-kept complex on a quiet closed-end street, offering a rare combination of privacy and walkability in Hawthorne. The 84m² floorplan is configured for practical living,three bedrooms with built-in robes, an ensuite off the master, and separate laundry,while the recent updates (new carpet upstairs, timber flooring below, renovated kitchen, enhanced lighting) remove immediate renovation burden. The large astro-lawn courtyard and private balcony provide genuine outdoor space without upkeep, a clear advantage for time-poor professionals or downsizers. Its proximity to Hawthorne village, ferry services, and multiple school catchments (Norman Park State, Balmoral High) gives it broad appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors seeking stable rental demand at around $800 per week. The flood overlay is the primary risk; while not a bushfire or heritage concern, flood detection may affect insurance costs and resale liquidity in a soft market. The 84m² unit entitlement on a 726m² lot means body corporate fees are manageable, but buyers should verify sinking fund adequacy given the 1999 build. The 2019 sale at $471,500 shows strong capital growth, though current pricing near $1.28M demands careful comparison against similar townhouses in the precinct. For an owner-occupier, this property works as a low-maintenance home with good lifestyle access; for an investor, it offers reliable rental yield in a tight supply corridor, best held medium-term for capital appreciation.
