7/16-18 Dalgety Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166

Ground floor | oversized 92sqm layout | private courtyard | prime Oakleigh pocket near Chadstone | FTTP available The property’s competitive strength lies in its rare ground-floor configuration with a private courtyard, an oversized 92sqm internal footprint that exceeds typical two-bedroom apartments in the area, and a modern fit-out including stone benchtops and European laundry. This combination appeals directly to owner-occupiers seeking low-maintenance living without sacrificing space or amenity, and to investors targeting tenants who value privacy and outdoor access over high-rise density. The location, within walking distance to Oakleigh station and zoned for Oakleigh Primary School, reinforces demand from professionals and small families. The primary risk is the absence of a second bathroom, which narrows the buyer pool in a market where two-bathroom units command a premium. The complex’s 1078sqm lot size suggests shared land, limiting future capital growth relative to standalone houses. However, the current rental yield estimate of 6.41% and recent comparable sales in Dalgety Street indicate stable demand. This property is best held as a long-term rental or entry-level owner-occupied home, with value driven by its unique ground-floor layout rather than land appreciation.
