6/61 Park Street, Como WA 6152

2-bed villa, quiet complex | renovated throughout | near river and transport | low strata and strong rent This property occupies a defensible position in the market: a fully renovated two-bedroom villa in a small, quiet complex within a high-demand riverside corridor. The 98 sqm internal layout with a dedicated office nook and two built-in wardrobes gives it a genuine owner-occupier feel rather than an investor floorplan. The 2022 purchase at $455,000 followed by a full renovation means the current owner has absorbed the upgrade cost, not the buyer. For a first-home buyer or downsizer seeking low-maintenance living with immediate walkability to parks and public transport, this offers a turnkey entry into Como without the price tag of a freestanding house. The main risk is the 1984 build quality in common areas and the potential for future special levies, though the $596 quarterly strata is modest. The rear courtyard is usable but not large, and street parking is shared. The buyer’s opportunity lies in holding for capital growth driven by Como’s constrained land supply and proximity to Curtin University and the CBD. Rental cover at $725 per week is strong for an investor, but the better play is owner-occupation where the renovation adds lifestyle value. Hold for medium-term equity growth in a suburb with consistent demand.
