1970 build | 809m² land | ocean glimpses | central Devonport | family-ready
This property presents a competitively strong land position within a central suburb, offering a rare 809m² parcel with development capacity at 18% coverage. Its north-facing living area and separation of the master suite create a functional, light-filled family home, best serving owner-occupiers seeking long-term convenience over premium finishes. The proximity to multiple schools and shopping underpins its stable, family-oriented demand character.
The decision hinges on paying a premium for location and land size against a 1970s build requiring future capital input. The substantial block offers clear extension or subdivision potential, providing a logical value-add pathway. Acquire as a long-term family holding, budgeting for incremental upgrades, as its core land value and established location will anchor capital growth more reliably than its dated structure.
Recent sales establish a sharp appreciation trajectory:
– Feb 2006: $180,000
– Jan 2009: $348,000
– Dec 2021: $582,000
This history demonstrates consistent growth, with the 2021 sale at $582,000 making the current asking price a significant step up that must be justified by the land value and recent market movements.
