1960s unit | renovated interior | rear position privacy | coastal suburb | flood overlay
This renovated unit offers a competitively modernised interior within a low-maintenance, beachside setting, a combination that strongly appeals to first home buyers and downsizers. Its rear position within a small group enhances privacy, a tangible advantage over street-front units. The recent updates to the kitchen, bathroom, and flooring mean immediate capital is not required, positioning the buyer for either occupancy or rental.
The primary risk is the flood overlay, which necessitates specific due diligence on insurance costs and potential future resale constraints. The 64m² internal area is compact, and the 1960 build requires a thorough structural inspection. For an investor, the estimated yield is reasonable for the area. This property is a hold for 5-7 years to absorb transaction costs; its value is in its renovated, lock-and-leave convenience in a high-demand coastal locale.
Recent comparable sale: 4/4 Pine Avenue itself sold for $575,000 in July 2025 after 63 days on market. This provides a concrete, recent benchmark, indicating the vendor’s current asking range represents a significant attempted premium in a short timeframe. This disparity requires justification through further comparable sales analysis.
