1920s brick home | 809m² leafy block | 26m frontage | redevelopment scope | top school catchments This property presents a competitively strong proposition due to its substantial land parcel in a established, low-overlay location. The combination of a character home in entirely comfortable condition with clear redevelopment potential on a near-800 square metre block is rare. It serves buyers seeking either a large family home with scope for personalisation or a strategic land bank within top public school catchments, all approximately 950 metres from amenities. The primary decision point is capital allocation versus yield. The modest ~2.5% rental yield indicates this is a capital growth play, with value tied to land size and future development approval. The 15% appreciation since its May 2024 sale suggests strong market recognition of these attributes. Proceed with a strategy to hold for long-term land value accretion or to renovate, recognising the cost to realise its potential. A Propcred report would ground this potential in a real market valuation and detail locality-specific risks for a complete due diligence picture. The property sold for $2,265,000 in May 2024. Current valuation estimates cluster around $2.6 million. This rapid appreciation underscores the market’s premium for large, developable blocks in this catchment, validating the land component as the primary value driver.
