New build on large lot | 4-bed modern house | prime school catchments | bushfire overlay present
This property presents a competitively strong offering due to its rare combination of a new 2023 construction on a 1,506m² block in a established residential setting. Its four-bedroom, three-bathroom configuration with substantial garaging serves families seeking modern finishes and space, further anchored by proximity to well-regarded primary and high schools. The new build status minimizes immediate capital expenditure, positioning the buyer for stable, long-term holding.
The primary decision mechanism is the bushfire overlay, which imposes potential compliance costs and insurance premiums, directly impacting holding costs. The estimated rental yield of approximately 2.9% is modest, indicating this purchase is fundamentally a capital growth play reliant on the scarcity of large, new lots. Acquire for a long-term family hold, not for cash flow, and budget for overlay-related due diligence.
Recent sales on the same street provide a direct value anchor:
– 34 Casuarina Drive sold for $915,000. A recent sale of a four-bedroom house.
– 51 Casuarina Drive is listed with offers over $450,000, implying a significantly smaller or older property.
This demonstrates a clear premium for newer, larger homes, supporting the listed price point for this substantially larger and newer property.
