46 Blackburn Street, Lalor VIC 3075

3 bed family home | 534m² block | Lalor catchment | dual listing activity The property’s primary buying case rests on its positioning within a strong school catchment and a street where 75% of residents are owners, not renters, which typically supports stable long-term value. The 534m² block with a 52% building coverage leaves meaningful outdoor space, while the separate garage, workshop, and carport provide rare flexibility for a buyer needing storage or a home business setup. This configuration best suits a young family or an investor targeting the mid-$700k entry point in a suburb with 84% auction clearance and 249 sales this year, indicating consistent demand. The key risk is the inconsistency in advertised car spaces, which may reflect a layout where the garage is excluded from the lease or sale—buyers should confirm access to all parking areas during inspection. No flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays were detected, reducing surprise costs, but the rental listing’s exclusion of the garage and shed suggests these may not transfer with a purchase unless explicitly negotiated. The opportunity lies in the property’s dual marketing as both a sale and rental, which may signal a motivated seller or a vendor testing the market, giving a buyer room to negotiate below the $750k–$800k guide.
