7 Higgins Cres, Ainslie ACT 2602

3-bed house on 877sqm inner north block | renovated kitchen and bath | off-market with strong land value | master with fireplace and built-ins The property’s primary buying case rests on its 877sqm block in Ainslie, a suburb where land of this size is increasingly rare. The renovated kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate capital outlay, while the separate toilet and master bedroom with open fireplace and built-in robes add practical liveability. This configuration best suits a buyer seeking a substantial landholding in a tightly held inner-north location, where the house is functional now but the land holds the long-term value. The main risk is the single bathroom, which may limit appeal to families and future resale breadth, though the separate toilet mitigates this somewhat. The off-market status is an opportunity—it suggests less competition than a public campaign, allowing a buyer to negotiate directly without auction pressure. The 2014 sale price of $850,000 indicates significant appreciation, but current estimates of $1.65–1.68m reflect the land value more than the dwelling, meaning a buyer is paying primarily for the site.
