53 Kenthurst Road, St Ives NSW 2075

North-facing pool & gardens | multi-generational layout | blue-ribbon street | leased at premium | no overlays. This property presents a competitively strong proposition due to its rare combination of a fully renovated, generously scaled home on a large, serene parcel in a premier street. The north-facing pool and expansive alfresco zones are permanent lifestyle advantages, while the oversized bedrooms with dual ensuites create a genuine multi-generational or extended family configuration that is scarce in the market. It serves a growing family seeking both immediate luxury and long-term flexibility, positioned within the catchment of sought-after public schools and moments from private institutions. The current premium rental, secured on a month-to-month basis, signals robust demand and provides immediate income transition. The decision hinges on acknowledging the premium commanded for its turn-key condition and layout against the latent potential of its lapsed DA for a double-storey home-a risk if your plan requires expansion, as reinstating approval carries cost and uncertainty. The opportunity lies in acquiring a secured income stream from a high-calibre tenant while occupying a blue-chip holding that outperforms standard stock through its quality finishes and land size. The commercial logic is clear: hold as a primary residence to capitalise on the lifestyle and school catchments, or retain as a strategic investment with superior yield; its fundamentals justify a premium entry point for a buyer whose profile matches its design. Recent nearby sales, while lacking precise figures, indicate consistent activity in the upper price brackets of St Ives, Turramurra, and Wahroonga, confirming the locale’s depth of demand. For this specific home, its larger land size versus neighbouring plots and its comprehensive renovation place it at the upper end of its configuration’s value range, requiring a buyer to validate pricing against recent, direct comparable sales of homes with pools and similar luxury appointments.
