5 Tubb Place, Pearce ACT 2607

Renovated 5-bedder on 1218sqm in Pearce | RZ1 zoning with no overlays | Low 1/10 energy rating | Priority school catchments for Torrens and Melrose. This property’s competitive edge is the rare combination of a large 1,218sqm RZ1 block in a tightly held suburb with a fully renovated and extended house. For a buyer seeking long-term land value in a established area, the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes common negotiation points and due diligence delays. The priority enrolment in Torrens Primary and Melrose High adds family appeal. The house is best suited to a buyer who values space and location over immediate energy efficiency. The low 1/10 energy rating is a material cost risk, particularly with solar panels already installed, indicating deeper insulation or glazing issues. The NBN FTTB and 5G coverage are adequate but not a premium feature. The 1997 last sale date suggests limited recent turnover, so local price discovery may be thin. The 292sqm footprint on a 1218sqm block offers potential for future subdivision or dual occupancy if zoning permits, but this requires council confirmation. Hold this property for land appreciation and upgrade the thermal envelope to reduce holding costs.
