73 Chandala Turn, Ellenbrook WA 6069

Built 2013 | 110sqm floorplan | 240sqm block | opposite Menindee Park | 3-bedroom with two bathrooms | solar panels installed This property offers a rare combination of modern build quality and compact low-maintenance land size in a suburb where most detached houses sit on larger blocks. The 2013 construction means compliant insulation, double brick, and contemporary wiring which reduces immediate capital expenditure. The 110sqm floorplan is efficient rather than generous, but the open-plan kitchen-to-living layout with stone benchtops and stainless steel appliances creates a functional daily living flow that appeals strongly to downsizers and first-home buyers. The master bedroom with walk-in robe and en suite positions this as a legitimate owner-occupier option, not just an investor holding. Being opposite Menindee Park adds passive surveillance and amenity without a road noise penalty, and the solar panels reduce ongoing utility costs by an estimated $600–$900 annually. The 46% building coverage leaves modest but usable outdoor space, and the 5G coverage supports remote work. The primary risk is the 240sqm land size, which limits future subdivision potential and caps capital growth relative to larger blocks in Ellenbrook. The bushfire overlay identified in planning data may increase insurance premiums by 10–15% and restricts certain landscaping choices. The 2017 rental of $295/week is historically low, but current estimated rental of $730/week reflects market shift; however, this yield still sits below the suburb median for 3-bedroom houses. The street is 80% owner-occupied, which supports price stability but reduces rental supply tightness. The opportunity is to hold for 5–7 years as Ellenbrook’s infrastructure matures and land constraints push values upward; do not overcapitalise with renovations given the efficient floorplan already suits its target buyer.
