8/42 Blancoa Road, Ferndale WA 6148
2-bed villa | 69m² footprint | compact 225m² lot | $785k 2025 sale | low-maintenance lock-and-leave
This is a sharply configured villa that trades space for efficiency. The 69m² floor plan is tight but functional, and the 225m² lot keeps upkeep minimal while still offering a small private outdoor area. That combination is rare in Ferndale, where most housing stock is older, larger detached homes on 600–700m² blocks. This property serves downsizers, first-time buyers, and investors who prioritise location and convenience over square footage. Its ground-level layout and single-car parking with additional visitor space make it practical for singles or couples. The 2025 sale at $785,000 signals strong demand for this product type in a suburb where compact villas are a smaller share of the market.
The property’s value may be shaped by its age and finishes, which are not confirmed but likely reflect older villa construction. Its small internal size could limit appeal for families, and the single bathroom may be a constraint for some buyers. The 225m² lot offers limited expansion potential, so future value growth will depend more on suburb demand and location than on land upside. The 0.0 energy efficiency rating may also influence running costs, though this is common for older stock. Buyers should weigh these factors against the convenience of a move-in-ready, low-maintenance home in an established area.
