Modern 3-bed house | 2009 built | 65% site coverage | Near beach & schools | Low-maintenance design
This house presents a competitively strong offering due to its efficient, modern construction on a low-maintenance block in a tightly held beachside locale. The floor plan is contemporary, with a master suite and open living flowing to outdoor space, suiting both coastal downsizers and professional couples seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle within walking distance to the beach and Semaphore Road amenities. Its 2009 build year mitigates major renovation risk, positioning it as a turnkey entry into a high-demand suburban pocket.
The primary risk is the compressed land value inherent in a 301sqm block with 65% building coverage, limiting future expansion and garden appeal, which may cap capital growth relative to larger parcels in the area. The estimated value sits at a premium per square metre, demanding scrutiny of build quality and finishes. Acquire as a long-term hold for lifestyle, not land banking; its rental yield supports an investment hold, but its highest utility is owner-occupation.
Nearby sales context includes 8A Joanna Street (off-market, est. $907k) on a similar 306sqm block, and recent transactions on Fletcher Road and Osborne Road. These comparables confirm the premium for modern, low-maintenance houses in this precinct. This property’s estimated value of $935,000 aligns with this trend, but its price per square metre is aggressive, requiring validation through a building inspection and direct comparison to recently settled sales.
